In working with ideas of jpsdad, I would remove every 1"-3" panfish and all GSF over 3" that you can manage to catch. There will be despite your best efforts usually enough remaining small panfish to create a decent year class of 2025 panfish. I would stock some 7"-9" LMB regardless of the source since your goal is mostly nice panfish. IMO all LMB from a reputable fish farm will grow to very respectible sizes if they are not over crowded and are able to get plenty of appropriate sizes of forage.
