Pap.What would you consider big enough to challenge a WR???OTT 1650 or bigger???

handy

yes if you measure 1650 you can always dream about the possibilities. we all do.ya cant always be wrong and dreams do sometimes come true.

and forget about that friggin thump test. i have thumped fruit that felt tinny like a cheep basketball and they went a couple hundred over chart and i have thumped fruit that felt like a boulder only to weigh on or under chart.( i truely believe it is determined more by the density(weight and moisture) of the meat inside rather than the thickness. think of the difference in weight between a pine 2x4 and a pressure treated 2x4. big difference in weight.

normally though to weigh wr ya gotta tape world record going in.a few go over chart and many at big tapes go under.

when i talk about the possible wr pumpkins this year. im refering to ones that already tape it and have therefore have a better than average shot at weighing it.
those that tape less and go over? are a big bonus. ---- we all want one of those?
