This is probably a dumb question, but I can't figure it out. What fish is this?

The first pix is a crappie, can’t tell white or black, but it’s a crappie

All 3 are whites..(crappie)

Well feces. The pond up stream must have had them. Are whites going to hurt my plan of building a decent bass pond?

I've got a thread on here with what I've stocked. Hsb and f1 lmb were stocked in October.

Those are all last years hatch, not that it matters but they could pose an issue. Fillet them and see if they contain any eggs, if they are female you'll see the eggs if sexually mature but this is spawning time in your area so if they are mature it may be too late. How big are your F1's and HSB right now?

Get all your buddies lined up and chuck jigs and pull every one you can get caught-out... at this point that's all you can do. It's all hands on deck, you can make a difference if you put in the time.
Another crappie catch technique is set Z traps or cloverleaf traps with glow sticks in the center (at night) and float the traps with noodles as close to the surface as you can.
