I caught them on a black and chrome spinner cranked as slow as I could and still feel the blade turn. He measured 15inches, they definitely seemed to be a little bigger (thicker) than the ones I caught last year. Last year they seemed more cigar shaped.
I don't have any aeration in the pond. Temp is at 68 F on the surface bottom temps seem to hover around 62F. In the hottest part of the summer, usually August around here, the surface temp will climb to the mid 70's. We have had a pretty mild spring so far this year.

Amazing any species of salmon can handle temps that high. Perhaps the smaller ones are more tolerant.

The pool they originally came from which was seperated from the main river due to low water felt like it might be pushing 80F. I wonder if the exposure to warm water as fingerlings built up there tolerance to warmer temps?
