The giant squid - the heaviest one is the downhill one. Watermelon also

The article reports that the heaviest 'buča velikanka' (likely referring to a type of pumpkin or squash) has once again come from Dolenjska (Lower Styria), a region in Slovenia. It also mentions that Lubenica, another location, has produced a notable specimen as well. The focus is on agricultural achievements related to the size of these crops, highlighting regional competition or records.

In the 16th consecutive edition of the national competition for the heaviest apple, held at Mozirski Gaj, Janko Lovše from Trebnje, near Velike Ševnice, won with an apple weighing 505 kilograms. Despite a dry summer affecting fruit production, the winner’s apple remained exceptionally heavy. The competition also included evaluations for the longest apple and best appearance, with Erik Rink Perme from Litija presenting the longest apple at 297 centimeters. Visitors chose the most beautiful apple from Ljutomerčan Dominik Trstenjak. Meanwhile, Uroš Fifolt from Koroška Vas produced the heaviest pear at 46 kilograms, while another of his apples weighed 426 kilograms. The event marked the start of an exhibition showcasing autumn fruits and blossoms.
