The blue whale. By mass. There is an arctic lion's mane jellyfish with tentacles that dangle over 150 feet down making it longer, but generally the blue whale due to its mass is considered the "largest". Similarly, the African elephant is considered the "largest" land animal because its average weight is over 6 tons, but it's 13 feet tall and a giraffe can be over 16 feet tall, and a python can be up to 30 feet long, much longer than the elephant which is around 20 some odd feet long.

The Blue Whale is a marine mammal belonging to the suborder of baleen whales. At up to 30 metres in length and 140 tonnes or more in weight, it is the largest animal ever to live on Earth.

The Longest is a kind of worm, if memory serves me correct, the blue whale gets up to thirty metres in length, the Lions Mane Jelly Fish gets up to Forty Metres in Length and this d****d worm, the name of which escapes me, gets up to 60 metres in length, but the largest by weight has to be the blue whale.
