Ty -- I would not recommend stocking white suckers in your pond. The big ones commonly get to 3 or 4 pounds, and no largemouth bass can eat them. Now, with enough predation on the small suckers, perhaps you could avoid a problem. However, I keep envisioning 300-500 pounds per acre of 18-20 inch white suckers. They would eat a LOT of insects that could be going to your bluegills and small bass. So, just a general sense that I would avoid introducing this species.
