In my experience it has worked out. There are tons of YOY BG and the LMB are growing well.
There is zero chance of the LMB outgrowing and eating the BG that were stocked together
Unless you can grow 5lb bass in under 2 years.
The attached are photos of original stocked BG. We can catch these all day long
Side note: CNBG aren’t supposed to grow very well in Kansas

The first year LMB can really grow fast, not sure about 5# but if food is there even that is possible from what I had happen in my pond when it was young
