Using my whole dataset I get:
library(plyr)
ddply(winter,"Year",summarise,maxTotal=max(Total))
 
 fish <- structure(list(Year = 2002:2012, maxTotal = c(1464311L, 1071051L, 
714837L, 2115018L, 850491L, 207537L, 321195L, 935599L, 194429L, 
157260L, 303259L)), .Names = c("Year", "maxTotal"), row.names = c(NA, 
-11L), class = "data.frame")
 
I only want to extract the max Total for 2012 and want the whole row like this:
 IDWeek  Total   Fry  Smolt  FryEq Year
21     47 303259 34008 269248 491733 2012
 
My whole dataset is too big to post it so thanks for your help and will try
to figure out why subset returns an empty row
