    It's not recommended to stock Crappie in a pond less than 50 acres, and especially not using White Crappie. Black Crappie do better, but still require space & a food source. They also need a predator species in the pond with them, to control their numbers, as they are prolific breeders and can overpopulate a small pond ... stunting their growth. (which is basically what is happening to Corinth and several of the other smaller lakes in that part of the state)
