That's awesome. 6 years ago I was fishing the bow for trout and mountain whitefish. I had a spot right in the city next to a storm drain where I would always catch rainbows with a black chironomid. One day I hooked into something big and I saw a flash of white so I thought it was a big mountain whitefish at first. But when I got it close to shore it turned out to be a big lake whitefish, about the same size as yours. It flipped and flopped and ended up popping off right at shore. The first and only time I ever caught one from the river.
