28,808 tons of fish were hauled in, the highest total harvest in some 20 years, with both gear groups catching over 90% of their quotas.
DILLINGHAM: As of 12:00pm Tuesday, the 2013 Togiak commercial sac roe herring fishery has closed. Fishing through tough weather over the weekend, the gillnet fleet scraped by with a couple hundred tons landed each day, and on Monday the buyers announced they were done buying for the season. KDLG’s Dave Bendinger reports on what was almost a record setting harvest.
