In this episode, we break down the high-stakes Alaska salmon season. We'll dive into the 'Excellent' Sockeye forecast for the Upper Cook Inlet, where 7.6 million fish are expected to charge home, and the 'Weak' outlook for Copper River Kings, forcing managers into a delicate balancing act of conservation. We also confront the ghost in the water: NEP25A, the massive Marine Heatwave still pulsing in the North Pacific, and how it’s literally changing the menu for juvenile salmon.

But notice our neighbors in the image. The Brown Bears aren't just scenery; they’re the supervisors. Whether you’re flossing for Reds on the Russian River or targeting those abundant Silvers, you're sharing the bank with a 600-pound local who’s been fishing these waters for ten millennia. From the billion-dollar economy of Bristol Bay to the 'Stop, Chop, and Throw' rules that keep us safe in bear country, we’ve covered the pulse of the Great North.

The water is cold, the fever in the ocean is breaking, and the cycle continues. I’m your host. Eat wild, stay salty, and watch your back—the bears are hungry, too. This is The Silver Run."

We are standing in a heavy week for the Last Frontier.

This past Tuesday, March 24th, marked the 37th anniversary of the night the earth tore open in Prince William Sound. And as we look at the calendar, we see a familiar shadow approaching: Good Friday.

On March 24, 1989, the Exxon Valdez supertanker struck Bligh Reef in Alaska’s Prince William Sound, spilling roughly 11 million gallons of crude oil. It remained the largest oil spill in U.S. history until the 2010 Deep water Horizon disaster.

In this episode I will touch on the events, the impact, and the lasting legacy of that tragic disaster.
