I caught one like that about 6 years ago on the Sol Duc and it was a native fish.
I missed the bite on that fish 3 times before I got a solid hookup. I couldn't figure out why the fish could chew on my bait for so long and I would miss it?
Once in my hands the reason was quite clear.
One of the weirder things I've seen.
I've never caught one with a would eye.
