Here are a couple from the mid 90s both fish were pushing 40 inches so easy 20lbs.  
Lay off on the glove that was before anyone really new it was not good for the fish.

Just to give a little perspective I am 6ft 3inch and lets say 200...+  ;D

This is a shot from over 40 years ago on the Thompson.  The young guy on the right is my father with a 20+ steelhead he got on a Croc.  His buddy's looks a little bigger.  I still have the rod and reel in his hand.
