Not a purist but, generally crappie aren’t stocked for that reason in 5 acres. I’ve never tried them but listen to Lusk. Crappies out compete bass. They have the same hinged jaw. Also, they spawn earlier than bass and with the hinged jaw are there waiting for the bass fry. This allows a bunch of runt crappie to dominate the pond.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
