Congrats, It is always nice to be a year ahead of schedule!

I think the spawning habits of newly stocked fish is very interesting. I had BG spawn 3 weeks after stocking. How about this stocking strategy? Stock 20 - 50 8" bass and 60 -100 adult BG per acre in April or May along with a few flat heads,threadfin, or tilapia. If the fish spawned successfully, you could be fishing by the end of the first summer. A whole year ahead of the "tried and true" schedule.
