I shot a full albino a few years ago. I haven't gotten the picture posting down yet, but I'll send the picture to someone if they would like see it, or post it.

Back about 7-8 years ago my elderly neighbors stopped by my place. Asked if I could trap or hunt a big coon that had been eating their cat and dog food for a long time. Of coarse I didn't want to trap it. Where's all the fun in that. So after a long fall of trying to get this coon treed. He'd always take the dogs around the hill and loose them in a briar patch that had a farm pond in the middle of it. My old redbone I had that weighed in at 43 lbs, treed this coon that weighed in at 42 lbs. I weighed it on 3 different scales just to make sure. I've never treed one close to that since. The biggest in recent couple years was 33 and change.

I don't have a scale to weigh anything around here. The blue pup was 42 lbs at her last vet visit, the Walker maybe 5-10 pounds over her. Dropped 2 others about the same size that night.

I never got to weight the my biggest ever. I killed it in 1983 just north of Oscoda, Mi, he measured 47" from nose to tail. Somewhere I have pic of me holding him skinned out with his nose chest high and his tail just barely touching the ground. My guess is he was close to 36-38lbs.
I was hunting with a friend in a big cedar swamp during season. When he hit ground I told my buddy I was gonna carry him out just to see what he weighted. After a 1/4mi I told him hang on. There was no way I was going to carry that coon another 1/2mi to the truck. I got my knife out and went to skinning right there.

56 lbs, had 3 young Blueticks. He was 51 inches from the tip of his nose to the tip of his tail. I kept one and sold the other two, when old Spook died at 14 I buried him under that tree.
I have a 41 pounder in a full mount that I got in 1984

Most of the biggest coon being mentioned are found in northern parts of the Midwest. A lot of the larger coon don't really care to tree, so you need to have a hound with a little grit to catch them on the ground.

Re: Coon

I'm not saying there is not a 40 lb coon somewhere in NE, but to call them common is a stretch.
Just like yotes and Bobcats, they gotta be 30 before they can be 40 lol

Lord no I wasn't smoking anything if a coon has corn to eat year round and doesn't get chased very much then it will get 30 to 40 pounds

We don't have coons that size in Louisiana. The biggest I ever weighed was 22 pounds and that's really big. Our average adult boar coon weighs about 15 pounds.

Our coons average about 16-18 pounds in the winter, big coons weigh around 25 pounds. I am only 5 miles south of the IA line, and they get a little larger the further north you go, but not a lot in the ones I have trapped and hunted.
The last year the coons were high we skinned over 400, and there was not a 30 pounder in the bunch.

Our coons are big likely about the same as the northern Midwest states. I've carried out a pile of coons that weighed 40 when I started, 50 when by the time I got to the truck, and about 26 when I got them on a scale lol. LLikely the biggest coon I've killed we ended up skinning it half way out and the hide with a little fat on it weighed14 lbs. Have weighed maybe 6 in 30 years that actually weighed 30+
