I checked out info on Australian Bass - they look pretty cool! Sort of like a cross between our smallmouth and largemouth bass. The smallmouth bass is one of my favorite fish to catch (the only non-trout in my top five) - pound-for-pound the fightingest fish I've ever caught. When trout season closes, I start turning my attention to them (their season is much longer).
Brown trout are introduced predators (imported from Germany and, I think, Scotland) that compete with the native Brook trout over here. However, they generally are very welcome, because they tolerate habitat that can't support brookies very well.
