Bill is such a wealth of knowledge and can really put things into perspective to help achieve your goals!

To take his math a little further and to help you better determine the stocking rate base on you goal end size, here are some formulas:

X * current weight * 6 lbs + X * 10 lbs = forage pounds needed to consume for all to grow 1 lb, X is the number of current bass

Say you want 9 pound top out weight and you estimate you have 600 lbs of consumable forage, it would be:
X * 8lbs * 6 lbs + X * 10 lbs = 600lbs --> which can be reduced to X * 58lbs = 600lbs --> to solve: 600/58 = X = 10.3 bass.
Once these 10 bass are 8 pounds, they will require the full 600 lbs of consumable forage to hit the 9 lb mark. Original overstocking with the intent to cull as they grow is an option, but a very expensive option if these are going to be $50+ per fish

If you want to be conservative and say you will have 400 lbs of consumable forage yearly:

4 lb top out = 400 lbs / 28 lbs consumed = 14.2 bass
5 lb top out = 400 lbs / 34 lbs consumed = 11.7 bass
6 lb top out = 400 lbs / 40 lbs consumed = 10 bass
7 lb top out = 400 lbs / 46 lbs consumed = 8.7 bass
8 lb top out = 400 lbs / 52 lbs consumed = 7.7 bass
9 lb top out = 400 lbs / 58 lbs consumed = 6.9 bass

If you want to be more aggressive and say you will have 600 lbs of consumable forage yearly:

4 lb top out = 600 lbs / 28 lbs consumed = 21.4 bass
5 lb top out = 600 lbs / 34 lbs consumed = 17.6 bass
6 lb top out = 600 lbs / 40 lbs consumed = 15 bass
7 lb top out = 600 lbs / 46 lbs consumed = 13 bass
8 lb top out = 600 lbs / 52 lbs consumed = 11.5 bass
9 lb top out = 600 lbs / 58 lbs consumed = 10.3 bass

Now, all of these numbers spend your fish mass allotment with the original stocking. If you wanted different year classes of fish, it would likely to be better to stock 1-2 (maybe 3) female bass year based on what you would be happy with at top out weight (Could also be slightly more for initial stocking). This formula also doesn't account for supplemental forage stockings. If you had planned on adding large live forage yearly, that poundage could be added to your consumable yearly forage (but also be expensive).

Especially without golden shiners, I would carefully consider Bill's suggestion of adding yellow perch as additional forage. These would be a tasty addition for both you and those big girl bass!
