The problem is the competition for the same food. No panfish. Unless the bass are aggressively removed by anglers/F&G, they will over populate and stunt themselves and the trout. Nobody will be happy with that.
If enough bass are removed every year, it might continue to work for awhile, so don't catch and release them. If you are releasing the bass, "to grow and catch again", you are helping to doom all of the fish in there to a mediocre growth rate, and an eventual poisoning.

This wasn't really aimed at you gstott, just general information for everyone.
