The fish he is holding in the picture is no where near the 10lbers that were supposed to be released. It looks like its half that at best, so maybe an escapee from elsewhere? Nevertheless this release by Cook, its lame excuses relating to the eclipse, and now fish showing up way up the skagit river in the long term is a blessing in the fight against these Fish farms. It seems to be spurring political action in Washington state, even from republicans. Any acts the farms commit against the environment need to be publicized to the maximum possible degree, as ultimately science isn't whats going to win the day, public and political perception are. Lets hope the politicians in WA keep up what they are doing and decline to renew the leases, and send Cooke packing back to New Brunswick. let them do as they please in Atlantic Canada, Maine and Scotland, but not on the west coast!
