Kodiak is larger, Polar Bear is weighs more.

True, The answer really depends on how "large" is defined, do you mean Heaviest? Longest? Largest ever recorded?

If you are wondering what the biggest bear ever was, it was arctodus simus, the giant short-faced bear, and it towered over even the biggest polar bear. However it went extinct around 12000years ago.
