I hardly ever actually weigh my fish... Maybe I should start and keep a record lol! But here's some of my best guesses (except the Coho, that one I actually did weight!)

King - 25lb off Possession (Hooked into a GIANT in the Kenai, guide guessed it would have been the first 80+lber of the year, but an equipment failure led to it's loss and never getting to land it #-o )
Coho - 18lb The Broughtons BC Canada and another out of the Snohomish
Pink - Never weighed a Pink, but caught tons of them and some nice ones outta the Snohomish! High I would guess at 6-7lbs?
Sockeye - 7lb Lake WA (back in the day when they actually opened the runs)
Chum - Never even fished for Chum. I'm going to have to change that this year...
