I also have a 14 year old grandson who is just starting to get into catfishing with me.  Can it be a team? Can we set up his own profile name to go along with mine?  Any help you can give me would be appreciated.  Thank You from Bigger Bait & grandson (yet to choose his name)

Forest the lower tip of tail looks like 21.5 to me. Good job!!   
I was looking at the other tail tip, that had just BARELY hit the 21.0 mark. I'll take the 21.5,  thanks.

   No, not 24, more like 22.5.   After a post from Paul, I started looking thru my phone and my email.  I found the deleted photo and was able to save it. After looking at it closer and enlarged, I can see that what I thought was the tail at 22.5, is actually the shadow of the tail. After releasing that Cat I realized that the steel measuring stick is pretty covered with dried Cat slime, and some of the numbers are almost worn off.  I cleaned it up, and wrote over the worn numbers with a Sharpie, but didn't photo it.  I'll need to go get a new one, or build a new bump board for the boat. One that is easy to see the numbers, and more compact than the one I use for the river.

Difficult to see the worn numbers. Will accept whatever score Jeff approves.
