There reads: "The hoodwinker sunfish is larger than other species of sunfish, reaching up to three meters in length and 2 ton (2000kg)" (previously 1 ton but I changed it because the source clearly has 2 tons)
Strangely though, articles of the other Mola species both say that they grow 11 feet and up to 2300 kg. While Mola mola "typically weigh between 247 and 1,000 kg" (from its article), I think it should be the maximum size what is compared, and then the hoodwinker is actually smallest of them. 109.240.136.45 (talk) 23:05, 1 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
