Maybe not the biggest Im not sure about the 'around'
measurement but our Botanical Gardens has some monsters
that have to be approaching 3 feet.

This week my step daddy had a heart cath that turned into
a quadruple bypass, so I spent a little time visiting
Providence Hospital in Mobile, AL. They have a little
man made river that runs through part of the complex.
There is a section that runs under a walkthrough on the
third floor, and adjacent to a sitting area outside the
cafeteria; where they keep koi and brim. I could tell
the koi were huge from the third floor, but when I had
lunch and got to see them up close it was amazing. These
guys had to be at least 18" long and 14" around. People
were feeding them crackers, and there were some that
could take saltines whole.

I'm terrible with dimensions, but they were taking whole
saltines so their mouth had to be at least 2" wide. Anyone
more familiar with koi dimension have a good idea how big
that would make them?
