I absolutely agree Rich.

A 8-10# silver or 15# King has much better meat on it. My Father has worked in the Fishing industry for 40+ years, and when he speaks about this topic he always refers to some of the distributors that sell to Sushi Houses. They will always opt for Salmon that fall within the 8-13# range versus a monster. Easier to Filet and tastes much better.

So to all:
Get a Picture of that Big'un and keep the medium- sized fish for the Barby!
