I have only seen one that big in my life. Me and my dad used to haul hogs for some of the local farmers back when I was just a young boy. Most of the hogs we hauled were 200 to a few getting over 400. The night we hauled that big one I will never forget how big he was. It looked like it was as long as the truck. I think the guys at the lot told is it was around 1100 lbs. Until then I didnt even know they got that big.

For more, go to Wikopedia, search "Hogzilla", has an article about the hogzilla boar, one claim is 1000lb, the other claim is 800lb, killed in '05.
Also has an article there about the hog shown in the paper, shot Jan., 5th, '07, includes using truckscales to weigh the critter.
