Ben, that's right. That I believe is the one Jesse Pual said tipped the scale before his head was off the ground.
I made a post called "I need proof" a while back. It has some straight up heifers in it, but that one of Jesse Paul's is still probably the only one at or very very near 500 pounds. That's my whole point.
It's been years since and I haven't seen another yet, meaning they can exist, but there's not exactly one in every county.

 This right here is the closest thing to a true monster that I've ever put my hands on. Me and Josh Heffernan caught it with a few curs too, no bulldog, just a ol catahoula bitch who is truly bad to the bone. Josh is a big ol fella. And the hog still come out looking big. This boar had a head and neck and chest girth that looked prehistoric in person and his ol corn fed belly was spread about 3 foot laying in that position we have kicked ourselves ever since for not running him to halletsville, but hey, too much whiskey and yellow lines don't mix. As big as he was, our guess is 400. Maybe more but we ain't given to dramatics. |

I can tell you this too, when we cut his head off, we dragged it by a lead rope out of the corn. We even joked that his head was bigger than what wed been catching lately.

Which pic you talking about podna? The one I posted josh is holding its ears? He's a big ol boy but I don't think his arms are 3-4 yards long? Lol  |

I have put 3 I know of in pig heaven at 270+. The biggest boar was this one but didn't have a scale to weigh.  That is a big bear 4 wheeler in front and a 16' utility trailer he is laying on.  This is the sow in my profile pic. I gave her to a friend of mine and asked him to let me know what she weighed. He carried her to a local butcher and texted me a weight of 380. She was huge although it is hard to tell by the pic. It took 3 grown men to load it and I ain't no Lil guy. Those 2 are my biggest hogs. |

I been hunting hogs since the early 1980's and we have caught some at 330 to 350 pounds and 200 pounders on a regular basis through my best years...
I have heard of 2 big hogs seen on a regular basis, one in Karnes City and one in Bloomington and both not too far from Victoria, Texas... and...I saw one that must of weighed at least 700 pounds maybe more come out of a maize field and he just reminded me of a rhino running out of that field...he was solid red and thick yet not a fat hog...probably between 7-8 foot long...he was running crouched down because he knew he was to tall to run around in the weeds...that is what I saw...3 other guys were hunting with me and they saw the same hog and they didn't think any thing about it...I was in awe and had to walk back and look for the tracks and his tracks were like those of a 800 pound steer...if I had seen those tracks without seeing the hog I would have thought it was a steer track...this was at the O'Connor ranch outside Victoria...So I will say one day someone will kill one of that size in that part of the country...but I don't think it will be with dogs and it will be in a remote place and probably at night time...
In Brazoria county I have seen some big tracks and sometimes in places where I least expected to see these hog tracks but sometimes the big boars hang out in such places to stay away from the dogs...but those large tracks have been less than half of the size of tracks I saw at the O'Connor ranch...this is no doubt in my mind that they are there because I saw one...

There's no way of knowing, I'm not doubting you Butcher, but since I don't know how big that fella or that dog is. The hog pictured below, me and my good buddy josh caught a while back and though he was a flipping beast, we loaded him just the two of us. We're pretty hefty ol boys, but I don't know that we coulda loaded much more than 350 to 400 just the 2 of us. Didn't bother weighing him but figured around 300. That's a full size truck btw and some other fella caught a WWT SCORING boar the same night and I believe the body on this one was longer according to scaling by the tailgate.  |

Basing on the estimated mabs weight of 200 pounds...then I have to say that beast weighs about 550 lbs...
