My theory has always been Salmon do it for the reasons Goose stated - for a fish to ensure the survival of ONLY their offspring. Steelhead, on the other hand, do it for food, just like the Cutts. No one knows for sure though...
in 19 years of steelhead fishing, i've had 2 actually swallow the hook -- one was on eggs 3 years ago, the other on soft plastics 3 weeks ago.
salmon on the other hand, if i plan on releasing some fish, i always try to get a quick hookset because kings and silvers will usually swallow the hook if you let them chomp on eggs for too long, and be bleeding to death by the time i get them to hand.
