Outrageous Pickles!

I grew a pickling cucumber plant this year in our garden. It has done fabulous! I have gotten at least 10 jars of pickles out of it. But, I apparently don't look very well under the center leaves. I found a HUGE cucumber. Like it was bigger than a regular cucumber. Oops. Looks like I need to look a bit closer next time. Here is the picture. The small one is the average size of the cucumbers that I get and that the plant is supposed to produce. I just wonder how long this thing has been growing!

To put in a bit more in perspective...my hand next to it.
