Fox News
A pumpkin weighing 2,749 pounds has set the world record for the biggest gourd at the 50th World Championship Pumpkin Weigh-Off in Half Moon Bay, California.
"I was not expecting that. It was quite the feeling," said Gienger, 43, who has been growing pumpkins for nearly 30 years and last year set a new U.S. record for growing a giant gourd.
The previous world record for heaviest pumpkin was set by a grower in Italy who produced a 2,702-pound squash in 2021, according to Guinness World Records.
