Been there. Went in a couple times for entire rod/reel combos too.
That pic reminds me of fishing in Oregon as a teen, seeing my buddy's dad hook up a monster salmon. After some hard fighting, he quickly started handing over his hat, keys, etc then hopped into a raging river to chase the fish. He got bounced around for a long time, finally lands the fish, then had to release as hook was thru the back above the tail, not the mouth. Couldn't sneak it either, warden was monitoring after getting call a guy was in the river without an inner tube or canoe.
