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?

I like the way you think, but I don't think everyone eats as much Salmon as you do.

First, I would stick to adults only. Kids don't usually like fish all that much.

Then, I would revise your ten pounds annually down to maybe one pound. I know adults who hate fish, as well. In my own case, I love it, but can't afford it, usually. I don't think I've eaten any in two years. (I'm going to check the price today at the fish store, though).

Then, recall that much Salmon is imported - probably much more than is home grown.
