The Kodiak salmon harvest went over the 2-million mark Monday, with a catch of 203,060 among all species. Fish and Game says the total salmon harvest for the Kodiak Management Area through Monday is 2,185,647.

For the first time this season the pink salmon harvest was greater than the sockeye salmon catch, at 92,752 humpies to 83,777 reds. Fish and Game had switched to pink salmon management from sockeye last week.
