What are the largest hot peppers you know about, by volume (not length)?

Are there any bigger than Cajun Belle or Poblanos?

I think a Big Jim Anaheim trumps a Poblano on overall weight.

Big Jim was going to be my guess, too, as I have had some over 10" x 2-2½". The flesh is thicker than the poblanos, too.
