Bandy: I have no idea how to post pictures and do not have them on any picture hosting website, but I can certainly email them if you'd like (I didn't see your email listed, but if you want to send me an email I'd be glad to send photos). I can't say that I am a very skilled angler, lucky is probably more appropriate. However, I've fished long enough with both spinning gear (though not for some time) and fly fishing gear to know where, when and with what to try and find the bigger fish in a stream, if those are the fish I am after on a particular day.
I also see that you live in Manhattan, MT, not far at all from quite a few 20 inch plus river-dwelling trout.
I don't want anyone to believe I think I can catch 20 inch plus fish on every trip to any river. Certainly that isn't the case. I'm lucky to live in an area with a number of trout streams, some of which have a number of hefty fish.
