The 861-gram monster male is the largest to be caught anywhere in the Northern Territory, according to environmental group FrogWatch.
The warty pest was picked up by local volunteers during a community toad bust at Lee Point last night.
Measuring 20.5cm in length, the colossal male was one of 39 toads caught in the middle of "a breeding frenzy", said FrogWatch coordinator Graeme Sawyer.
"The biggest toads are usually females but this one was a rampant male," he said.
"He is huge. I would hate to meet his big sister."
