We caught this steelhead on the Chetco recently with a giant bite (most likely seal) out of its belly. The fact that this fish not only survived but was still pushing upstream and actively attacked our bait is strong testament to just how tough and resilient these amazing fish are. Just one of the many reasons I admire them.
