What is the biggest type of salmon?

Answer 1

I am not sure how big the average salmon is, but smoked it's normally quite nice in a bagel with cream cheese. Make sure it is cream cheese though; any solid cheese such as Cheddar or Red Leicester is too strong and will hugely over power the salmon, the cream cheese compliments it perfectly.

Answer 2

The following is the largest salmon of each genus recorded in Alaskan waters:

King Salmon: 97lb. 4oz.

Keta (aka Silverbrite Salmon): 32lbs.

Coho (also known as the Silver Salmon): 26lbs.

Sockeye (aka Red Salmon): 16lbs.

Humpy (aka Pink Salmon): 12lbs. 9oz.

Interestingly enough, the largest known fish seem to be caught in Thailand and China. The largest catfish ever recorded, and very likely one of the largest Freshwater Fish ever known, was a female Giant Mekong (she was laden with eggs), caught in May of 2005. She came in at an unbelievable mass of 646lbs, and measured a full 9 feet. (Mekong are recorded as known man-eaters. Certainly makes one ponder just what she might have been feeding on to get her to such a gross size.) Such a fish took several men hours to land.

What is rather exciting, and not just a little frightening, is that scientists believe there are other fish quite able to grow larger, still. The Arapaima, of the Amazon River is one, as well as the Chinese paddlefish, but the largest fish ever caught by a single man- on rod and tackle, no less- was captured just a couple of months ago, on Feb. 25, 2009. This, too, was caught in Thailand, a male freshwater stingray that was over 700lbs. and 7 feet in length.
