The biggest hail I've been in came from the May 29, 2004 Jamestown, KS supercell. The stones were near 5" diameter.
The largest hail I've seen was from a hail survey on June 23, 2003 near Aurora, NE. The largest stone we measured was 6", but another stone was found larger than that (which broke the Coffeyville, KS record). In fact, it's very likely some stones were as large as 8-9" before breaking/melting based on the ground impacts found during the survey.
The photo below is a 5" diameter stone from 2003...
