Commercial fishing in Alaska's Bristol Bay this season has not only been fantastic, but record-breaking.
"It's the largest sockeye salmon run on record, the second-largest harvest on record," Andy Wink, executive director of Bristol Bay Regional Seafood Development (BBRSDA), told IntraFish.
The most recent totals reported by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) showed 41.8 million sockeye have been harvested this summer, with 58 percent of that coming from the Nushagak district.
The harvest already beats ADF&G's 2018 forecast that the district would harvest 37.59
