The site I read from last night, wwh, must have been filled with errors. You really have to be careful on the Internet. Since reading what I read last night, I've now come across another site that records a salmon weight of over 100 pounds.

Now, if these salmon spawn and die, then they sure are putting on a lot of weight (i.e., 100-pound record) before spawning. I've got to look into this much more.

Lots of salmon terminology--parr, very young salmon with nine bars that are part of their fresh water camouflage. The bars disappear, according to what I read on two sites, before the two- to four-year-old salmon go to sea.

There are literally hundreds of thousands of salmon websites.
