JD Richey, whose blog appears in Salmon, Trout, Steelheader, recently wrote about a world record king salmon that was caught and released in August at River’s Inlet, British Columbia.

The exact weight of the massive king salmon is not known, but it measured 55” long and the girth was 38”. If you apply the gold standard of fish weight estimation, length x girth x girth/750, the goliath weighed 105.9lbs.

They say records are meant to be broken, but since the angler released the fish, Les Anderson’s Kenai king salmon is still recognized as the official rod and reel world record. For those of you who don’t know about the record, Les’ fish was caught on May 17th, 1985, and it weighed 97.4lbs.
