If it were me, and I really wanted a trophy bass pond, I'd use the 1.5 acre for the big bass. I'd dedicate the smaller pond as a forage pond to support the trophy bass pond (well, maybe combo forage and some other use - overcrowded BG with a few HSB?).

There are more structure ideas here already than I would have believed possible - someone has probably added used domestic plumbing fixtures (the proverbial kitchen sink) for structure.
