Tony's was biggest last year, if you are talking biggest ever, Gerry Checkon, from Spangler, set a new world record in 1999 with her 1131 pounder.

The biggest unofficial Pumpkin in PA history was Larry Checkon's 1190, also grown in 1999, it went down due to a blossom end split with about 5 weeks left in the season. The biggest official pumpkin from PA was Gerry Checkon's 1131 from 1999, like Joe said. There have been several other large ones from PA including the 1061.5 Ciliberto from 2001 and the 1007 Brown from 2000.
