Depends on whether you mean weight or score.

Weight wise this guy was the biggest. Scored a whopping 0 as he had already shed. On the scale though he was 198 lbs field dressed. Took him new year's eve 2014 at 18 yards sitting on the ground leaning against a tree:

Score wise it was this guy taken Dec 17, 2010. Scored 118. Took him at 22 yards from a ground blind.

Chris was very good about it.

had he been on my property I would want him to shoot it too, if given the chance

FWIW: I asked before the hunt if there were any rules, he said if ya have a deer infront of ya, shoot it!

shot em good! :D

Got a 12 pointer a few years back. 22 yard shot out of a ladder stand. He snuck in and started working a scrape. He ran about 40 yards down into a gully but reasonable retrieve.
It was about the second week of October. He weighed 178lbs. field dressed. Nice even rack. Never had him scored.
I was sure hoping he'd had a chance to spread some of his DNA around as even though he was 12 points he was young.
No telling what he would have been like in another couple of years but I couldn't pass him up.

Shot Mr Tall Tines with a 160" rack in 2012 with my old aluminum rail Ibex. It was a 32 yard shot while I was sitting in a hedgerow. He came in to check out my doe bleat can...

Even a slow 305fps bow can take them down... :)
