Anybody ever weigh a big woodchuck?

I've never weighed any of my groundhog kills but I'd guesstimate the biggest ones may of pushed 20 lbs. I'm curious as to actual weights of the big boys. Anybody ever seen one that broke twenty lbs on an actual scale?
 
Never weighed any over 20 pounds, but I have taken a few that weighed in the 15 to 18 pound range when put on a scale. I've taken a few that may have gone just over 20 pounds but I've never checked with a scale. Most of my big ones weight in around 12 pounds around here in Ohio though.
 
I'm in east central Ohio & the big hog contests many years ago would produce 23-25lb g-hogs every year or two. We've already shot a two 18's this year. These are from a field that has just changed hands & the new farmer wants them shot. We're lucky they asked us.
 
20+ pound hogs are some real bruisers. I've never weighed one myself but here is a good sized one for me although not the biggest.

Thats a bucketload of hog there!! Nice pic. Grab yourself one of those little fish scales at wallyworld & carry it with you. Been cool to see what that one weighed.
