I foul hooked a coho in the snohomish one time and my partner caught it legal like about half an hour latter gash in side and all.

I've used this to teach people what a bite on drift gear feels like just locate a dollie or a cut or a silver and give it half an hour to rest then put the newbe where the fish was and have him cast untell it bites hard enough for him to feel it. I've done this succesfuly 3 times on the pilchuck we even used a hatchery steelhead once (a very dark one)
