Looks like a mixture of line endings.  I'm seeing both CR and LF in that 
file.

[galens at toto ~]$ wc -l Downloads/hatchery_returns-2019-08-12.csv
102 Downloads/hatchery_returns-2019-08-12.csv

Converting CR to LF and then counting lines yields 10801.

There's also one instance of a CRLF at the end of the file.

Perhaps there are some LF characters embedded in strings.  I didn't 
bother to dive in any farther.
