At this point in the pond's history and what I perceive as your goals, I see no positive benefit to the long term fishery by adding the single bass from another pond. Now if you had an overpopulation of some fish specie with sizes that needed to be culled then yes one bass could help you manage and reduce too many unwanted or not needed fish. IMO once you add the F1 fingerlings to the pond you are going to need ALL the forage fish possible to keep those bass growing to reach their full potential. And as mentioned why risk loosing some of your valuable F1 fingerlings? One of those consumed by that early single introductory bass could be one of the F1 females with the best growth potential.
