I think you will find you have caught a 17lb Salmon and a 12lb Seatrout The last photo is definatly a Seatrout. And at 12lb that is one good fish.

 

Top marks for sticking it out.

I would say 2 Salmon, but I stand corrected.

Not wanting to get into an agument, just have a scale count diagonaly from the rear of the adipose fin to the lateral line.10 to 13 Salmon 13 to 16 Seatrout. In the photo have a look at the maximil plate in relation to the eye. The fish in the photo the maximil plate goes well past the eye. Although we cannot see the end of the tail the tail has all the atributes of a seatrout.

 

As a bye I caught my first Seatrout in 1959 and had a few since then, best fish 19.3/4lb. Make of that what you will.
