Same thing happened to me on a SW WA river while pursuing chinooks and silvers. James and I came into a virgin run and we both were fishing bobber and eggs. I made the first cast into some boily water that came off a sharp lip, well as my bobber was just starting to kick out of the boily stuff it started to go down. With all of this happening no more than a rod length away I didn't want to set the hook too hard so I started to lift up and the bobber came back to the surface but was laying on its side. I started reeling to tighten up on the fish that had the eggs and all of a sudden a summer run buck about 15 lbs came up and ate the bobber and took it down. I started yelling "he's got my bobber, James he's got my bobber!" I still remember the look on his face while he watched me flail around not know whether to set the hook or what... So, about 10 seconds goes by and I started reeling and then the bobber comes up and the steelhead had my eggs in it's mouth the hole time. So, I set the hook and landed that over achiever fish...and let him go... We need more of his genes in our genepool, nothing better than a aggressive summer run.

That also brings up another wild memory I had, there's been a couple times that james and I have been fishing tidewater in the lower EF when summerruns have actually beached themselves while following a bait that was being reeled in. Now everytime we fish those two holes it's always "remember jaws!!!" Anyone else had similar situations?
