Here's one for the books.

I took a fishing buddy down the nooch on day one of a three day trip and he nails an 18-pound HATCHERY steelhead! On day two we float the hump and he sticks it to a 19-pound HATCHERY steelhead! What are the odds? I won't mention the 17-pound wild buck he got on the Sol Duc on day three.

I've seen hatchery fish this size come off the Salmon River, Cook Creek or perhaps even the Cowlitz, but not other rivers: Much less by the same fisherman on consecutive days.
