Published October 12, 2017 at 5:33 AM EDT

RACHEL MARTIN, HOST:

And this year, the winner weighed in at - get this - 2,363 pounds. It is the heaviest pumpkin in the competition's 44-year history. Although not a first for the guy who grew it, Joel Holland of Washington state has won the contest six other times, and I'm betting that guy is real sick of pumpkin pie. It's MORNING EDITION.
