Git...You could go that route. Problem is that the pond volume you have may allow you to instantly become BG heavy because the low numbers of bass will have a larger area to hunt, allowing too high of a BG recruitment.
The 10:1 ratio will usually provide you with a lot of medium large BG (1#)and several 4-5# LMB and even a few lunkers of each.
After the second or third LMB spawn, you'll want to remove any skinny bass caught and maybe make a slot size like 8-12" bass that you remove 100 per year. Keeping records of fish caught/kept will help you understand the dynamics developing in your pond to prevent any overpoulation and stunting.
Some of this may seem a little overwhelming and extremely complex. In many ways it is, but you'll get used to it pretty quickly and it becomes second nature. We put fish in expecting one result and often ignore or never think of the many unintended consequences. We can want anything...getting the fish to agree with us is tough!
