I think I have you all beat. Years ago when I was a kid maybe '77 or so I was on our family sailboat in Waquoit Bay. There were bait fish being chased by bluefish. I snagged a bait fish and I didn't recognise it. Finally could make out the stripes. Only 5 inches or so and so small it didn't really have the "normal" shape of the striper yet. I guess I am not 100% sure it was a bass but I think it was.
Never the less in '77 I put it back in the water on a hook just to see what the predator was. about 7 pound blues.

I've gotten a couple around 7" while fishing for snapper blues. Some must breed locally for that to happen, I think.

for what its worth ;; I was told by someone who should know / that the bass make their 1st migration at approx 7 " to 8 "
Now the holdover fish have a very high percentage of Hudson river fish // With that in mine & the Hudson alot closer than the C/B , I think it maybe possible to have smaller fish migrate up here ;;

Somebody oughta swing by Clammer's house - I was thinking the same thing -
Some one might have broken in, tied the old geezer up in a corner and taken over his computer.
Uhhh....on second thought, maybe not...
He might actually like that sorta thing...  |
