Jeremy Wade decided he would try to unravel the mystery of the King Salmon decline....and make a "documentary" on it in his new show called Dark Waters.
The remarkable thing to me was his segment on "fly fishing" for sockeyes. He showed how to snag sockeyes without really breaking the law...a heavy weight with a fly trailer dragged across the bottom. He literally showed himself snagging sockeyes.
After eliminating bears and salmon sharks as probable cause of the King decline, he suggested Orkas might be the cause based on no scientific data at all.
I love King Salmon fishing on the fly and found his show woefully lacking of any contributions to unraveling the mystery.
