If you click on the link to Aspius Vorax and scroll down to Aspius Vorax, it
has the following.

"Reaches over 55 cm total length and 6 kg in Iraq (van den Eelaart, 1954;
Herzog, 1967; Shafi and Jasim, 1982) and 1.5 m and 60 kg in the Euphrates
(Gruvel, 1931)."

1.5 meters and 60 kg is a really big fish.
