And by that, I mean there is an annual contest in Juneau this weekend where several hundred (or more?) people come to Juneau to try to catch a salmon that was tagged and is worth $10,000. One fish.. in the ocean... out of skabillions. But work a big chunk of change. Sounds simple. But...
"Juneau area anglers spent an average of 40-rod hours per king salmon last week in the Juneau area. Last year at this time it required 45-rod hours per fish, and the five-year running average is 32-rod hours per salmon. Anglers are currently having luck harvesting fish in the areas around Gastineau Channel, and both the North and South Gastineau Terminal Harvest Areas."
Good luck fishing people. You'll need it. And no, they don't always find the fish with the big money tag on it.
And just because I am not watching Olympics coverage, doesn't mean I can't appreciate a good Synchronized Swimming photo:
