Theo, thats what I'm also thinking. If the 8 inch bass have to be stocked very early in spring to spawn, I would be afraid they would eat the stocked BG. Just not sure about the growth of BG over winter. I agree, if nothing else to eat, or even fatheads, they are gonna TRY and eat a 4-5 inch BG. I will for sure stock GS, that should take some pressure off the BG; just dont know if sufficient. If I stock LMB 8 inchers at 60 degrees, maybe they will immediately go to the spawning mode.
