Re: Thraedfin ( King salmon )
Hey Volvo, I just went through all the details I have for salmon I have caught from the Brisbane river. I have 63 lengths of fish and only recorded weights for 39 of those fish.
Salmon under 60cm - 1
Salmon between 60cm and 80cm - 0
Salmon between 80cm and 90cm - 5
Salmon between 90cm and 100cm - 23
Salmon between 100cm and 110cm - 24
Salmon between 110cm and 120cm - 8
Salmon 120cm and bigger - 2
With the 3 biggest fish being 117cm, 120cm and 123cm and the 3 smallest at 55cm, 82cm and 83cm.
Average size works out at 100.5cm
Weights of fish are between 3kg and 11.9kg with the average being 6.6kg, the average length of just the fish that were weighed was 102cm.
Have heard of salmon up to 130cm being caught in this area, but even one that size would fall very short of 50lb.
Being such a large/long tail, it would be a monster fish to hit 50lb.

A quick check through the records list of the Australian National Sportfishing Association shows the heaviest weighed in by an ANSA member is 16.35kg. That one was caught in the Burnett River back in 1979.
