Well, at least in terms of length, it's the alligator gar; the largest specimen
on record was nearly 3 m (9 ft 8.5 in) and weighed (302 lb) (Suttkus, 1963).
Itıs the largest non-anadromous freshwater fish in North America.
Although if Bruce's #s are acurate, then the lake sturgeon is definitely the
most massive non-anadromous FW NANF.
