The largest brown trout I ever personally saw and held was (obviously) a holdover in the Toms River while electrofishing with NJF&W. Measured 22".
Just upstream from where the brown was found, small (I would guess YOY) sunfish 2-3" and lots of them. Of course a ton of eels of various sizes (not elvers) were brought up as well.
Never got out to fish for fall browns, very interesting stuff!
and KD: you actually get to FISH nowadays?
