I'm not insinuating that they're two distinct stocks, just that info I received said that many of the very large bass winter in the EEZ. I agree that the same bass we catch inshore may be found far offshore soon after. Maybe, though, they do find areas they prefer to feed in, and tend to frequent those spots. I've seen some tagging study results that show that some bass tend to return to the same places year after year. They do, though, cover a hell of a lot of water during migration.
