OK, he who has no first name, here it goes:

Qualifier, assuming you resisted your ample computer skills, and stayed away from Adobe on your pics......

There have been significant scientific studies that show that when the "doe" steelhead, and some species of spiny rays, go through their wild eye, mouth agape, quiver during...... well you know.... have no ability to pass anything through their "vent" other then their spawn. It's obvious from your pic that the lady in question loves hard boiled eggs (reference the "bus wreck" on the back of the boat). Obviously she has been feeding on way, way, way too may hard boiled eggs resulting and an over-abundance of "internal combustion". Studies have proven that when hens like this do the dirty.... well you know.... spasm so hard that the gas, seeing how the only reasonable escape hatch is blocked and the other end is singing, concentrates in pockets along the backbone resulting in a significant although temporary lengthening of the fish. This should have been obvious to you from the smell of stale beer, eggs, tobacco, pork rinds etc., emulating from her lateral line. Another obvious indicator that you were fishing in "that" kind of area would have been the buck steelhead with the mullet hair-cut and 24 inch wallet chain that someone in your boat should have caught immediately after you released this kelt. After releasing the buck there should have been a concial dent in the side of your tin boat (don't worry, the wild buck will be fine). OBTW, we're you fishing on the Carbon River? There's lots of hens up there like that.
