Ask yourself where all those 1996 and 2001 fish are now and you'll quickly realize what a pathetic drop in the bucket this 2018 year class is under the relentless greed that dictates management of Striped Bass.
As Clammer says, it will only be used as reason to kill more of what is out there now. The EEZ bit is only part of it. There will be a strong push to drop the commercial size limit to 32" so they can kill and profit from the 2011 fish sooner.
