All good, I'm not in any despair about it. I think the amount of dead floaters are in this thread somewhere, but going off memory, maybe 30 adult Bluegill and 4 SMB from a stocking of 11 or so SMB (in that specific stocking of SMB; there are more stocked at other times). Earlier this year we also had about 4 dead HSB a few days after stocking; these fish were 8-9" and I think they were just too stressed. Of course, the floaters are a subset of the morts, probably.
On a better note, Lee and his wife are getting their son one of those underwater green lights for Christmas. I'm probably more excited about that then any of them!
