Fhia-17 60+ pounds
Not sure how much this weighed but it was more than 60# and all I could to to drag it back to the cave. I was an easy 36" long. Didn't count this one, but the last bunch was 19 hands. I did learn this time that they need to be eaten on the greenish side. Once they are fully ripe/yellow they get a strong/nasty taste.

Re: Fhia-17 60+ pounds
Well, Now I know what I have to look forward to next year. I may have to start cross training in order to harvest something that big.
