If I was in Mississippi I'd run 25 (or as many as you legally can) hook trottlines and collect as many 14-16" catfish as possible near the prespawn...you'll easily catch over 200 fish in that range in a week for little to no $ investment. Transfer those to your pond and thin the smaller bass by any means possible
When I was in Columbus, Ms last year it seemed there were plenty of hatcheries and fish farms in the area and the rivers looked well suited to trot lining
