World’s Biggest Salmon

I love salmon, especially smoked, but I never knew they were so ugly. Just so you don’t lose your appetite completely, I will say not all salmon looks this bad, only Chinook salmon.

This particular Chinook salmon was found by biologist Doug Killam in Battle Creek, near Anderson and is apparently the largest salmon in the world, weighing 85 pounds. I should say was the largest salmon in the world since Killam only found the carcass.  Take a look:

    It’s ugly because it recently spawned. They go through a metamorphosis on there way up the river to do their thing.

    The current sport caught World Record is 97 pounds 4 ounces. And when in spawn, they are back-end-of-a-dog ugly, that’s for sure.
