That is the 12th largest watermelon that I have ever seen numbers for. Congratulation. What's funny is that your two melons this year were the largest I have ever seen by girth. What a great year you had.

Thanks, I got the size, just not the weight. I'll cut it open if the rains ever stop & see how hollow it is. I hope my last one is not so light since its the biggest !

I seen the pic today of it standing on end. The girth is unreal on that thing. 37" long and still looks fat. From the last pic I seen of the 239 it looked like it had a good shape to it, maybe that will help. Hope its full of lead.
