The BPA's Northern Pikeminnow Bounty Program paid out more than a million dollars this year.  BPA's Katie Pruder Scruggs says the top bounty hunter made $81,000. The program pays between 4 and 8 dollars for most fish, but some tagged fish are worth $500.  Since 1991, more than 3-million pikeminnow have been caught and their attacks on salmon smolt are down 40%.
