Jim, Is scoring this one, but the 27"er is very hard to verify that it's head is touching the wall... That shadow is totally making that near impossible to verify with the forum software...  Jim mentioned he may have some software that will help him see into the shadow... In the future check your photos before you let the fish go, so you can make sure we can read the results... Thanks Jeff

Hi Brett, I looked over the extra pictures you sent and I was able to enhance one to where I'm sure the second cat made 27". 

Good for 22 and 27 points. Thanks, Jim

Hey Brett, I just noticed a typo earlier in your cat scores. The one from 7/1 says 27 and 22 and it should say 27 and 24. Sorry, it is correct in this weeks update.

Hope the hand drawn placard is oaky - hadn't planned to fish but elk hunting was super slow...

Nice catch Brett, good for 11.5 points Tiger trout... Sorry the elk hunting was slow, but always nice to be able to catch some fish while your there...
