Pretty cool. Those fish have to be living there year round.

A murderer's master thesis

A number of years ago someone doing life in a Massachusetts prison did his thesis on bass who spawned in this area, Nova Scotia, Hudson Bay areas, and migrated south towards New England. It must be on record somehwere, but the paper had a number of well-reasearched facts that couldn't be denied I clearly remember.

There was a fishing study done a couple of years back in the Mystic River, and they found baby stripers in the waterway that couldn't have migrated. Add to that the rumor of stripers being pulled through the ice on the Lower Mystic Lake, and it does seem plausible.

Wow that's amazing! interesting idea that the bass spawn around the area and that fish may not have been a migrant.

Absolutely is possible.
This isn't the first big striper reported from that area...

I really don't think that our understanding of striped bass' breeding and migration habits is too finely honed. Every years I see something about them that mystifies me. The topper was finding , after a hurricane, a 3 inch striper in the flotsam in Bayside Truro. In the Fall. Had to have been home grown.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
