Yes, it was a delicious. That's one big tomato. I just read an old newspaper article about it. I guess he had a 5 and a half pounder that was still growing at the time that he thought might be even bigger. I like the part about not saving any seeds from it because the coroner ate it. :)

I'd like to know Minnesota's record. I think I could have given it a run last year, but I had no idea how well my big zac would have held up at contest. Oddly it was a single stamen flower that grew her:
