Tim: I didn't say anything about the early run. Perhaps you would like to address my point. Of all people you are surely aware of the mortality imposed on the Kings by the set net commercial fishery during July and August, some of which is factored and perhaps much of which is not, i.e. the  numbers that go unreported and the numbers of drop outs, none of which are accounted for. I am still interested to know how many REALLY big fish are killed and not accounted for by those contributions to mortality. . After all, Tim, the ADF&G attributes an 8 percent mortality caused by catch and release by the in river sports users when calculating total
Sports harvest, yet does not charge the commercial  net fishers for any drop outs or under reporting. And please don't claim there is no mortality associated with those activities. Because everyone knows better.  Doesn't seem fair to me. Still just wondering.
