A buddy and I walked up on two in turkey season that were in the 500lb range...maybe 600. There backs were over belt high easy. A little crazy when all you got are some no 6s on ya. I literally thought someones cows got out.
Had one about 350 in front of the turkey blind the other morning.
In a duck blind one am and my buddy starts running out into the water, had one 350 plus come out 10ft to his right. Then the thing came behind me and started breathing down my neck. Something out of a horror movie. Really freaked him out and he unloaded his gun in its direction.

We didn't weight these two that me and my daughter killed. Stalked them at night over a barrel. Not a good pic of him, bigger than he looks here, but he was over 300. After being drug off This one wasn't big, maybe 160, but had neat coloration.

My partner in this picture is 6'2". This was before I had a scale, and we pulled the tape to a TIGHT 47" heart girth measurement on the big one. Chart says that is 270 lbs, and I don't doubt it one bit. She was very preggo. This one was from the same field a week before, she taped 41", which is 210 lbs. Back when I was still shooting digital NV, before the swap to thermal.

You get extra points for spotted pigs, killed an all white male that weighed 195 a few years ago.

Killed this one Saturday night, stalked him out in the tall wheat next to where they are about to plant peanuts.

For sure Rio. Got peanuts going in the ground later this week about 300 yards from where he was killed. Got a little rain last night out there, not a bunch, but enough that with the pivot rolling we can go ahead and plant. Will probably have some busy nights once that happens.
Lone pigs aren't too awful though. It is those sounders of 30-50 pigs of all sizes that really get in the pocketbook quick.
