I used to run Charter's on Lake Michigan some years ago. Indiana stocked a strain called "Skamania" Steelheads. Although I have boated quite a few close to 20 lbs, but can't recall any that weighed 22. That's a helluva fish. Especially on an 8 lb leader. Not only that they are terrific fighter's. Some are out of the water more than in when hooked. You are to be commended for releasing it. That's a wall hanger for sure.
