Introducing new fish to lake.

The lake I live on evidently does not have enough bass food in it.
Yes, there are bluegill, but they are not cutting it for the large bass population in this lake. Therefore, the bass growth is stunted, with a large majority of the fish being around 12 inches long.

So, what I am thinking about doing is fishing the lake out of the little fish as much as possible and transferring them to other bodies of water. Meanwhile, I may stock a good amount of gizzard shad. That way, the amount of small hungry fish will decline and a surplus of food will emerge.

What do you guys think of this idea? Are there other baitfish that may be also suitable for introduction?

thanks,
