From a Virginia Institute of Marine Science FAQ about Mycobateriosis (my emphasis added):
We have all probably held tons of fish infected with myco and had no clue because only advanced infections have outward signs.
The VIMS FAQ also states a 76% infection rate of Chesapeake Bay bass as of 2001.
According to tagging done by ASMFC, a majority of the bass we see are from the Chesapeake Bay.
