I got a 12 pounder on a fishing charter last year (that doesnt really count though I gues seeing as I was basicly guided to it)

My biggest trout out of a lake besides a mackinaw is a 12 pound, 33" rainbow caught on an excalibur suspending fat free shad in citrus shad color, while fishing for walleyes. Fought for almost ten minutes before I landed him and released him. Beautiful hook jawed male.

My biggest is around 16-17 pounds out of Oswego River.....but my father got one that was a 22 pound Scamanian in Lake Ontario in 2003 and the fish is now on the wall only cause he wouldn't swim away.

My largest steelhead was 22lbs.  It was caught flyfishing the Lower Genesee River on a fly rod.  I have caught many 14 - 18 lbers out on Lake Ontario.  I'm still trying to get a 20+ lber. on the boat.

 In 30 years of fishing the salmon River, I've gotten 12 over 20lbs. the biggest being 23.49lbs on a certified scale! There's a big cycle of steelies coming in the next couple of years, so get ready!
