What size(s) of hand painted BG will you stock?

If they are over the predation size of the Green Sunfish and you are stocking in Oct 2024 probably not a spawn for them this year (guessing, I don't know how late in the year BG spawn in AL)

FHM have an avg lifespan of 1year...some make it to 2?
Mosquito Fish listed for 2-3 years under optimal conditions.
Are you planning for either the FHM or Mosquito fish to be in the pond long term or just to get the bass started until they can eat the BG as forage?

LMB planned stocking is when?
LMB planned stocking size?

Not sure what I would do but if your BG can get multiple sizes classes in the pond before stocking LMB I might consider increasing the size of the stocked LMB and let them manage the greens while the BG outdo them on spawns.

1.5acre LMB, YP, BG, RES, GSH, Seasonal Tilapia
