GIANT SHARKS, SALMON, (and pests)


A sport fishing boat pulled alongside to show off two 400 lb sharks he caught.

The salmon fishing was in full swing. hundreds of boats like this one, plus larger processor's boats with "fish pumps" offloading their cargo. This is a "purse" of salmon.
Pests. There were literally thousands of sea lions also eating salmon. Our captain related some almost comical ineffective government schemes to relocate them, once even to Southern California.
