The whale shark is the largest fish. Up to 46ft and 15 tons.

The whale shark is the largest fish.

Largest Marine fish.. Whale Shark, right?

Sturgeon are one of the largest Anadramous fish (SW/FW)..(20'+)

Airapima Gigas (piracuru) is the longest FW fish..(14'+)

Mekong Catfish is the heaviest FW fish.. (10'+)

Humantra Ray is rumored to be the largest circular FW fish, with rumors of them being seen at 14' across..


Its often a topic of debate, but each one has royalty in its specific category.

 

[Oddball]

From your list;

The record white sturgeon was 1386lbs
Gar records show 9ft 8.5" and 356lbs for a gator gar
The largest mekong catfish was 646 lbs
pirarucu record is at 10ft and 440lbs

These are actual recorded measurements. Photos from before the time of record keeping show larger specimens but, no statistics were taken from them.

Lets not forget the ocean sunfish (Mola mola). Heavist bony fish in the world.

 

[Oddball]

The record Mola mola is from '96 where a japanese mola was weighed at 5,071 lbs. Not the longest (10ft) or tallest (14ft) but, the heaviest recorded.

[Oddball]

The wels catfish (Silurus glanis) gets fairly large. But, not as large as the stories surrounding it. The record for a wels is 9ft 1.5" and weighing 317lbs.
