That's crazy, but the guy probably enjoyed it. The FR4 adds a huge
thermal resistance. And those dinky leads and traces won't be happy at
600 amps. 

Just buy one of these:

1000 amps peak, 1000 watts, 75 volts.

or put a few smaller fets around a heat sink, to spread out the hot
spots.

And you spent too much time watching it :-)

Reminds me of an article in Popular Electronics half a century 
ago. It announced a new 1000-watt (or was it 10kW?) transistor 
with a photo showing a TO-3 style case alongside a wrench that 
looked tiny by comparison. Probably the April issue.

Some people seem to have way too much spare time:
