Its not the same. I have been wondering this for over 2 years now. Many vedder steelhead have these scars. Same spot, same shape. Doesnt look like net marks, but who knows, look at kokmandoos big wild hen, same scars. 95% of them have it. Its really weird, but no i dont think it was the same

Holy crap those scars are the exact same. Looking twice at the pics i definetely think its the same fish. Umm... Thats crazy cause the vedder is like 25 miles long and i was 4 miles upriver... If so thats crazy

There are some achievements which are never done in the presence of those who hear of them. Catching salmon is one, and working all night is another.
