What was the largest brown bear weighted by scientists?

Regarding the polar bear, the largest polar bear weighted by scientists (that I'm aware of) was this one :

''Biologists, for example, rarely give names to the animals they handle, but one polar bear that Stenhouse and Nick Lunn caught on Southampton Island in 1985 was so big and burly — he weighed in at 810 kilograms (1,800 pounds) — that they nicknamed him "Stan." Stenhouse keeps a picture of "Stan" on the wall of his office in Hinton.''
