Like leptar said there is evidence of documented 100#+ bass that has been netted commercially but was that just a couple of freaks that had adapted to offshore waters or is there evidence that there are small schools living in offshore nursing homes? Isn't the greatest dept 100' that most fisherman target bass, even that time frame is fished at the warmest time of year?
We think of bass as in.. food source = bass, if thats true then these freaks would have been caught rod and reel by now unless their diets change to bottom fish and shellfish, imo very possible. I think Georges Bank is bigger the Massachusetts, over fished as it is and the huge food source that it is you would think that one of them monsters would appear periodically when the conditions are right, same goes for Stellwagen among other places... then again Flaptail seen a freak in 10' and when that freak seen Flap she swam back to 200'.
