Kind of like fishng for pets. Fun for a short while, but it pales quickly, at least for me.

Buddy, my fishing buddy, Buzz, and I fished the San Juan a few years ago and managed to catch the same 21-inch Bow from under the same rock overhang on two different days, using the same fly pattern. We didn't realize it until we looked at the pictures later.
My son, Mike, managed to catch the same Cutthroat out of the same hole on the same day on Big Elk Creek in Idaho, once on the way upstream, and again on the way down.
We fish a spring creek that has a resident population of Browns and a few of our pics show that we have caught the same fish more than once over several years, and I'm sure that we have caught many more, but have not taken pics of all of them to compare.
