According to the press, Salmon were on the verge of extinction

[snopercod]

You out catching some of these?

A glut of salmon? Impossible. Everyone knows that the slash-and-burn Bush administration has let the corporate polluters ravage the countryside and pillage the seas, endangering untold species, threatening bio-diversity while introducing mutant strains into the DNA pool. </sarcasm>

Stories like this make me wish I lived on the coast. Those $2 a pound prices aren't making their way inland.

Like Manna from Heaven!

a problem the California Salmon Council says

HUH? While it may be bad for the Fishermen, it's great for 99% of us...

We just had salmon last night Mmmmmmm....

BTW, I was just reminded of the comdian who is selling "Salmon - the other pink meat" t-shirts.

According to the rabid clueless, they still are...

This is like the good old days in medieval England, when the apprentices banded together and demanded of their masters that they not be forced to eat salmon more than twice a week!

Salmon IS a bit pricey here in the Atlanta area, but it's still good. I marinate it in a soy-sesame oil-mustard-pepper marinade and slap it on the grill. No leftovers, and the dog and the cats fight over the scraps.

Same problem occurred a couple of years after the Exxon Valdez.

They had so many salmon they had to load the ships, send them out to sea and shoot the dead salmon out of the hold to the bottom.

I would've thought they'd make great fertilizer, but then again Alaska is huge and transport is a Major factor.

Last month I bought salmon for $1.99 a pound here in So Cal. It was cheaper than hamburger!

This season, fishermen have hooked 4.3 million pounds of salmon as of Aug. 4, or more than 345,000 fish, with nearly two months left. That's up from last year's 2.2 million pounds, or about 180,000 fish

Something doesn't add up here. I eat about 10 pounds of salmon annually. With 280,000,000 Americans, that translates to nearly three billion pounds. Yet the fisherman reeled in only 4.3 million pounds? Where the heck is the other 2.9957 billion pounds of salmon coming from?
