Math Lesson number two:

Using last year's average sockeye weight and this year's prices we're looking at $18 million as the total ex-vessel value for Cook Inlet sal;mon harvest in 2004. Compare this to over $400 million in direct sportfish expenditures and it seems a bit ridiculous that we even have nets.... doesn't it?



Let's put it this way..... would the state give away a $33.00 barrel of oil for $1.50?

Things that make you go HMMMM....
