It's a huge mosquito, very similar to the Culex (the most common), but it is really skinny and 5x bigger. I've seen a few and can't find any info about it on google or wikipedia.

Thanks in advance for any info you may have. :)

Don't worry, its not a huge mosquito. Its a crane fly or something. We used to call them mosquito hawks.
