I don't think that few of trout will make a big difference in LMB recruitment. Those stocking numbers only equal 3 per acre. I have a slightly over 1 acre pond. When my stocking numbers of trout approached 50 in number, I think at that point I would see the small BG numbers diminish. If I stocked 25, really no noticeable difference. I would think that it applies to them going after LMB too, however I am no pro.
All you can do is try it, and see what happens. The worse case scenario is that you have lots of trout to fish for.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like you want to thin the LMB and supply those that are left with forage. Otherwise you want a trophy LMB pond. Perhaps you need a limited predator and/or a better forage for the LMB. The pros here can make other suggestions suitable for such...... more correct types of habitat, other types of forage, etc.
