Last year, Mr Gould took out the big win with his last minute 2kg mango and plans to do it again this year.
Young Milan Maloberti, who places almost every year he enters, is currently sitting in second place with his 1.550kg KP.
Kyle Hastie is sitting in third with his 1.491kg mango and Sophie and Tony Davey sitting in fourth with their 1.445kg home grown fruit.
Presented by The Express Newspaper and FNQ Growers the KP Mango Competition looks at the heaviest mangoes across the area put in for judging and gives them either first, second or third.
