Oh my gourd! You have to check out this massive pumpkin.
The huge gourd has set the record for heaviest pumpkin in North America – weighing in at whopping 2,480 pounds!
Jamie Graham won the prize at the annual All New England Giant Pumpkin Weigh-Off at the Topsfield Fair in Massachusetts.
His pumpkin broke the previous record of a little over 2,200.
He posted on social media with his pumpkin he named "bear swipe." He said it's now the 4th biggest in the world and the 11th biggest, undamaged pumpkin ever grown.
Graham won $6,500 for first place and also got a little over $2,000 extra for breaking the fair record.
