Feel like getting your hackles up? I subscribe to a commercial fishing magazine just for kicks. How about these following kicks!<br>For the year 2001 these are the totals caught: Alaskan Salmon, 173 million fish. That doesn't include British Columbia, Washington, Oregon or California. Pacific Coast groundfish 2,123,325 metric tons. All Nations in the Tropical Pacific, purse seiners took 580,000 metric tons of Tuna, Yellowfin, Skipjack,Bigeye and Bluefin. California Squid, 127,096 "short tons", Coastwide Sardines 78.9 thousand metric tons. Swordfish landings in San Pedro by longliners was 2,642,172 pounds. Personally my catch of a fishing trip never includes the big ones. I'm not a purest but smaller fish normally taste better.
