HI Al and Mike and list,
Sorry I didn't respond sooner but this took some time to
find. I don't think it actually counts as a weigh-off, but I did find that
back in 1903 a William Warnoch had the world record with a 403 lb. at the St.
Louis Fair. His first record was in 1893 with a 365 lb. and again in 1900
with a 400 lb. He held his 403 record for 73 years! I would say he was born
way before his time. Think what he could do today. Anyway just wanted to
share what I had found. I for one and my dad thought it was very
interesting. I will add the link for anyone who wants to check it out.
