Chrisper pretty much answered this for you, I'll just add that they are indeed the same species. The full name of 'Landlocks' is 'landlocked atlantic salmon'. As Chrisper said the landlocks are just that, restricted from migration, specifically to the Atlantic ocean for which they're named since they are the only salmon species native to the Atlantic, unlike the Pacific ocean which has a number of different salmon species indigenous to it.
That aside, damn fine job catching what is arguably one of the hardest fighting fish in freshwater!
