TOPSFIELD, Mass. (CNN/WBZ) - Growers in Massachusetts had "pumpkin envy" just looking at the gourd that broke a world record.
The giant pumpkin weighed in at 2,009 pounds.

Wallace won more than $15,000 for his large pumpkin, which crushed the previous record holder that weighed in at more than 1,843 pounds.
