As far as trout, a FAT 24" can be 5lb to give you an idea. Although I am betting Salmon will be more in the length than the girth.
Figure between 24" &25" as I think river runners are skinny-er than stillwater.
Like Koch said, get it's head in the net, but that is assuming that your net is deep.
I lost a bunch of big fish last year, AT the net. I scoop their head only to have them shake, throw the hook and flip out of the shallow basket net.
C&R nets are nice, but they can cost fish sometimes.
