Any danger of stocking a pond with crawfish?
Could the new crawfish be more aggressive than the native population and wipe them out?
Or will the bass just eat enough of them so thats not a factor?

Yes. There is a burrowing crawfish that can go through your entire dam. "Extensive burrowing around ponds and lakes can undermine the structural integrity of dams." http://pubs.ext.vt.edu/420/420-253/420-253.htmlThe benefits don't outweigh the risks, IMO.
