June hogs
In the parlance of the Pacific Northwest of the United States, June hogs were the largest Chinook salmon caught in the summer migratory runs of the fish. Often weighing at 80 pounds (36 kg), and as large as a small person, these enormous salmon were once harvested regularly each summer by First Nations peoples, sportfishers, and salmon canneries on the Columbia River and its tributaries, but have now disappeared due to the implementation of commercial fishing practices of the late 19th and early 20th century; today the largest Chinooks caught in the same runs are half the size.
