When I was pulling the seeds out of it, one of the carvers told me to look up. They had to cut the stem off as part of the carving, and this is what I saw.

I've been inside over 2 dozen pumpkins over 2000#, and countless other big ones. I have never seen anything like this before. Had I accidentally broke off the stem prior to the weighoff, this would have been a DMG pumpkin. It appears to have been a stem split in the making, saved by keeping the vine elevated as the fruit grew so that there was no downward pressure as it lifted up.
