An Oregon fisherman has taken home a grand prize after helping capture and remove thousands of problematic fish<\/a> throughout the state’s rivers.<\/p>\n

The angler earned $107,800 in bounties after taking part in the 2023 Northern Pikeminnow Sport Reward Program.<\/p>\n

The Oregon resident caught 10,755 Northern Pikeminnows during the season from May through September, according to the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission (PSMFC).<\/p>\n

The individual with the second-highest number of northern pikeminnow caught<\/a> (9,786) received $99,110 in bounties.<\/p>\n

The Northern Pikeminnow Sport Reward Program is a recurring summer conservation bounty program that anglers throughout the state of Oregon can participate in.<\/p>\n

“The program runs each summer from May 1 to September 30 and doles out significant cash to hundreds of anglers for removing pikeminnow\u2014a species known to prey on salmon and steelhead smolt,” Field and Stream reported.<\/p>\n

In order to have been considered a catch worthy of the bounty, the fish brought into a registration station<\/a> had nine inches or longer, shared the PSMFC.<\/p>\n

The more fish brought in by an angler, the more cash prizes they would receive.<\/p>\n

“The first 25 in one season are worth $6 each; after 25, they’re worth $8 each; and after 200 they’re worth $10 each,” the PSMFC shared on its website.<\/p>\n

“Special tagged Northern Pikeminnow will be worth $200 – $500 again this year,” the site continued.<\/p>\n

A total of 156,505 pikeminnows were creeled by 11,954 anglers in the 2023 season.<\/a><\/p>\n

“Harvest was very close to the 32-year average of 160,000 and effort increased by more than 10 percent,” Eric Winther, program manager, told Northwest Sportsman Magazine.<\/p>\n

Winther reported that the best spot for catching the pikeminnows was near Bonneville Dam along the Columbia River.<\/p>\n

The top angler this year earned the second-highest payout in the program’s history and creeled the fourth-highest pikeminnow caught, Northwest Sportsman Magazine reported.<\/p>\n

The highest bounty that has gone out to an angler was $119,341 in 2016 after removing 14,019 pikeminnows during the program, Field and Stream stated.<\/p>\n

The program is funded by theBonneville Power Administration<\/a> (BPA) which helped raise the bounties last year in an effort to increase participation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This year’s bounty was the same as 2022, the Northwest Sportsman Magazine stated.<\/p>\n

Northern pikeminnows have played an active role in the Columbia and Snake River systems in Oregon,<\/a> eating millions of salmon and steelhead juveniles, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife reported.<\/p>\n

“The goal of the program is not to eliminate northern pikeminnow, but rather to reduce the average size and curtail the number of larger, older fish,” the state department continued.<\/p>\n

“Reducing the number of these predators can greatly help the salmon and steelhead juveniles making it out to sea.”<\/p>\n
