Biggest one I ever seen was 418# I didn't shoot him, but he was brought into the feed store I worked at and I put him on the scale. That sucker filled up a long bed ford. It was shot 8 miles south of weatherford

I've never seen many in the wild that I thought would go over 200lbs. several in the 150-190lbs range down south. my dad shot one this year that went 235lbs. and that was a big hog.
biggest I've ever seen, is a friend of mine kept a feral shoat in a pen for a few years and fed him. pig was more like a pet. had him for like 4yrs or so. finally just got to be too much trouble so we butchered him. he field dressed 265lbs. I don't know what he weighed on the hoof. probably around 300. I've heard if you barr/barrow them, they will get bigger. don't have any experience with it though.

grandparrents raised hogs, used ta ride em whin kids, my dad drove 18 wheeler, as mentioned brange few back that got hurt, family get togethers, every one chipped in. done some cattle hauling, an sat at many auction barns, guessing weight, got pretty good, but that was years ago. been ta hog barns, they seperate hogs bye weight. with all that being said, still NOT an expert on judgeing weight, hogs i've taken in wild, usually had lojger bodies, fat at least 2-3 inches thick on hind quarters, hog rubs as high as keys in pocket. see very few of them any more, lot of preasure. people want them gone, others see em as other wild game. pic says a thousand words, i've boared ya enough, just enjoy hunting hogs. ta all who have posted

I don't believe 99.9% of weights you read on the internet because of the above referenced posts. The vast majority of people do not weigh them or just say oh he bottomed out x lbs scale so he must be...
Since 2007 the biggest hog we have kill is 235 lbs live weight. +1. My biggest is 218 lbs weighed on a scale and it was extremely difficult to load in a Mule.

I have shot some really good sized hogs over the years..seldom take any pictures, but I can state with certainty I haven't got one bigger than Guess has...although I have hunted for a couple that size...never could meet at the same time.

Formula used to estimate:
Heart girth is measured in inches using a cloth measuring tape. The tape is placed directly behind the front legs, wrapped snugly around the heart girth, and read directly behind the shoulders.
pig weight = 10.1709 x Heart girth (inches) minus 205.7492.
Found to be 95% accurate to within 10 lbs. Using the above formula, we get the following:
40 inch = 200 pounds 42 inch = 220 pounds 43 inch = 230 pounds 44 inch = 240 pounds 45 inch = 250 pounds ------------------------------- 46 inch = 260 pounds 47 inch = 270 pounds 48 inch = 280 pounds 49 inch = 290 pounds ----------------------------- 50 inch = 300 pounds 51 inch = 310 pounds
55 inch needed to get around 350 pounds
