Was doing some bass reading and the author claimed that the bass that migrate up to Mass and Ri are bred in the Hudson river as opposed to being Chesapeake fish. Is this true? I was allways thought that the Chesy contributed 80-90% of the stripers and that the delaware and hudson made up the rest. With the problems in the bay I would be curious about the make up of the bass that visit us in RI and Mass. Thanks Charlie
