Don Crews lost his at 1100+.

Cliff Warren has one in, and doing well - http://www.cliffsgiantpumpkin.blogspot.com/

There's a guy in NC that has one in, not sure how it is doing now.

Yes, I have one going and I like it. It may be small for some, but for me it should turn out to be a personal best. Can't argue with that.

The seeds in it are 964 Wolf X 1092 Martin.

Just to follow up on this old thread...

(By the way, it would be great if a new post on a thread would move that thread back up to the top like some lists.....)

My 964 measured about 690 but went 779. It was awesome. Totally solid fruit, no internal fractures, no worries about splits... it even turned a little bit orange at the end. I think it's a good one if you want to go heavy. (of course)

Mine was 9 inches thick ,If I had weighed it I'm sure it would have been over 1200lbs. The part that hurts is that my own grower error contributed to the split. I let the front grow off of my plywood and foam base and guess where the sag line was. I tried to add support with a mound of soil but the damage was done. Live and learn.

Mine was 1067.5-13% heavy. It was like a rock! I crossed it with the 898 Knauss, should be a good one. I have not opened it up yet. I saw pictures of Don's its a shame it didn't make it to a weigh-off.
