Several years ago, there were "giant texas reds" which as I
recall were 6-10 count. I saw a 6 count one day and that is
a scary looking shrimp.

They all come from very deep water and most shrimpers don't
have the gear to go after them.

reminded of an Australian TV travel ad I saw once where everybody is
invited
to visit and they will put a few "shrimp on the barbie". Biggest shrimp
I've
found to date were at a local Costco. Not anywhere near the size of the
ones
in the TV ad, but big enough that 1/2 dozen made for a full meal.

Biggest I ever saw in Oz were over 6" long (prawns). That's a damn big
"shrimp"!
