In inches... Please....
7.874 inches.
According to this article, someone has turned in a 17" chile, but not sure if it has been officially confirmed yet.

Don't have any Whippet's Tail seeds, and my growlist is already pretty ridiculous, or I would join you guys.
I always get my NM chiles from the Lytles and noticed that the Big Jims were considerably longer in the 2011 season than I had ever seen. It is not uncommon to pull a few pods out that look to be about 12 inches, but this time there were many that were in the 12-14 inch range. By that, I mean at least a third of each 40 pound sack was like that. Unreal. The chile rellenos this year have been monsters. Here is an article on that with a short video.

im in sounds like fun does anybody have some of these long varieties available for trade I would like to try some big jim, whippets tail, pinochio nose.
I only have Holy Mole 9 inches long max and Cayenne Thick 6 1/2 to 7 inches long max so hopfully I can get them that big and try to cross them with my thai dragon to see what I get.
Peter pepper!
if By Pollies you mean politicians your peppers will be 10 ft long those guy are always full of manure LOL
thanks mate you made my night
Its simply up to everyone to decide what type they want to grow and find their own seeds. Maybe next year we can all use the same seed source but its kind of late to organize it all, and right now it seems people want to try different varieties. I'll see if I have any extra whippet's tail seeds but I don't think I have many left
Unofficially I had won but Luigi's late entry was excepted and he beat me by half a centimeter, so I took second place. A week after the competition I had even bigger chiles
Not my biggest but good and long

I prefer metric, but either way is good
I remember Potawie got 3rd place in a contest by TheChileman a few years ago with his whippets tail.
This should be interesting, i've got some pusa jwala going here

Ongoing "current champ" sounds excellent, no plants barred, bring your own seeds! But if you have a yearly winner, it would take in both hemisphere's grow season. Yearly winner awarded every Dec 31st type of thing. Maybe the THP Admin could create a "Large Pod King/Queen" sticker each year kinda like the "Throwdown" winners tags.
Regardless, the pix on this thread are going to be priceless. Who doesn't like a biggggg pod.....
i'll toss in a prize or 2... whether it be hot sauce, powder, dry pods, seed, or maybe a gift certificate providing website development goes as planned...
longest pod with a pic posted by the end of the year. i'd suggest metric as the standard for measurement- just because americans were to stubborn to sign on doesn't mean we should inflict our old system on the rest of the world.

Good lord. That thing is huge.
Haha! Yeah, they get pretty woody when they get that big, but every year it seems like there's one or two that get overlooked until they are ginormous.
