You do not know how to keep a trout is the very blunt explanation. Your photo alone states this (upper right corner glass tube and the fact it is overstocked and way too small for trout just in that one pic)..and asking if it will be fine with a bass solidifys this. If you have to ask if a trout will do good with a bass you really are not showing that "you have done your research" or understand the conditions needed to keep trout or bass in captivity.
The fish pictured is also clearly under a great deal of stress and they usually never pull out of this. There is not much hope for that fish adapting or doing well at all under these conditions.
Sorry I'm not trying to be overly mean I'm just telling you now where all of this is going to fail..

There’s only two fish in that tank, the LMB and the Brown Trout. I did research on its living conditions, temperature, and all seem to fit. I found nothing on aggression nor tanks mates, thus the reason WHY I ASK. ASKING WHAT I DON’T KNOW IS PART OF MY RESEARCH…and if you couldn’t helping…or know nothing of any use…then you really should not try helping someone who’s looking to learn..
I am helping... your fish is going to die...
Sorry if your not reading the obvious yet.
If you think a Brown trout will exist with an LMB in any way you know nothing about that trout and little about your bass also.
If your hoping for someone to just say "Cool dude that will work out great" then take my statement as that..But that trout is going to die...
BTW minnows are fish and crayfish add to the bioload also.

There’s the right way to help and than there’s the wrong way. A simple LMB and BT can’t co-exist would have sufficed…don’t you think? It’s a 125 gallon tank (will upgrade to a 300); minnows and Crayfish don’t count because they are feeders.
I am not looking for anyone to validate anything, just solid reasoning without flames of how I know nothing, and to just euthanize a fish…when I can transfer the BT to another tank.

I think what they are saying is that the Brown Trout can not recover, it swallowed the hook, and it wont dissolve over time, therefore it really does not matter what tank you transfer it to, the fish will not make it.
Also, unless the feeders are eaten immediatly they contribute to the bioload, as yes even they too produce waste.
IMO they are really not trying to be rude, you asked a question, and they gave an honest answer, by cutting the bs and getting straight to the issue at hand.

I do agree with you, but not completely…for someone did mention something about me not killing anymore fish, and others comments that were not really necessary at all. And yes, the feeders are eating as soon as I drop them in…I really dropped them for the trout, but they did not last long enough.
Zero....My sarcasm was unnecessary and I'm sorry.
I see lots of things wrong here. First you took a fish from the wild before doing any homework. I can see taking some little properly identified darter or shiner home and then trying to learn more about it since you can manipulate a small tank easily to suit the fishes needs. It's costly and difficult to overnight make a bass tank into a trout tank.
Next: You took an adult fish from the wild. This alone usually results in death or difficult transition to captive life at the very least. Never take adult fish as this is difficult on existing tankmates and is basically a death sentence for the fish.
Bioload??? Did you plan on handling the bioload for the 14" of pure muscle and energy you put in the tank? Trout require some pretty nice water conditions and putting that fish in without a soon to be festering wound inside it's digestive system spells trouble.
If you want to see more positive responses I'd suggest posting something like this: "I'm thinking about putting a 14" brown trout inside a 125 gallon tank with my bass. Before I do I want to know if this is a good idea? What specific requirements to brown trout have for captive care?"
I can't speak for others but I'm a little tired of the fact that native fish seem to treated like garbage when it comes to captive care. I'm not sure why this is the case but I suspect people think they can just go out a get a new one.

has the trout eaten anything yet? how long has it been in the tank for now? i find this thread very interesting!
i think you should get the trout out of the tank immediately and eat it because hey you caught it 
nice catch by the way... but it has a hook stuck in it for ever and your bass could possibly eat the trout and you don't want your bass to have a hook in it also do you??? i would take the trout out right away go fillet it add a little lemon with some salt and pepper set the oven to broil
before it sits in your fish tank too long or if its been in there too long 
just freeze it and throw it away 
but trout are tasty
