Okay, I found him. Jim Martin is from Hayward California, and used to be in the 80's band Faith No More. In 2003, he grew a 1064 pounder and also threw in a 903.5 for good measure. Is this the current California record?

I can finally get this metal head to either stop asking me questions about Jim, or he will start growing pumpkins. lol

You should tell him to check out Mr. Bungle if he likes Faith No More... same singer, only more ridiculous.

his pumpkin was weighed off at the half moon bay weigh off i believe and i think he is in a west coast club/org.
he has been growing for over 8 years i believe.

remember the flopping fish at the end of that video in the
late 80s. "you wanted out but you can't have it"
