Very nice fish. I can only award points to the half inch so you'll get shorted a quarter. Also watch those shadows they make it hard to see the tip of its nose, but I think I'm okay on this one. Nice catch. Later J

Nice cat! Maybe the bigguns are ready to get active since the spring sling has come to an end and all the cigs have been smoked.👍

This one was later that evening the other one was caught after midnight on the fishing trip I started on 7/31.
its real close to 29 I'll let you be the judge. even if you call it 28.5 its still good for my score.

[#00bf00]Anyway part 2 of my comments... Very nice fish, I think the second is bigger than the first, it is 29 points for sure and I agree with ice sled, if you would have had someone holding that one straight I think it could have been 29.5... But since I have to score off what I see I can't speculate and give you credit for that, but I will give you the 29 points and welcome to a tie for first place... Nice job!!! [/#00bf00]

Looks like 29.5". Just my two cents.

yes I know if some of my fish would stay at attention they might get a 1/2 inch. but I'm a lone wolf and always fish solo. Grandkids just dont like the bugs and are ready to call it a night if we sit there for more than 20 minutes without a bite.

I have the same problem. Hard get them straight long enough to click the photo. Especially when they are too long to fit in the picture unless you get more than an arms length away. Good problem to have. Nice fish. Later J

hope I'm seeing this right

[#80ff00]Okay I know this one will be one of the top measures of the year and may be open to intense scrutiny, but with the head over the one end, it appears to make up for the 1/8" short on the tail end. Wish you had a bump board, to make it easier, but I think it is 30" so I'm giving you 30 points... I gave one to team south that I had the same question on, so I think it's only fair you get credit as well. Nice job taking the lead... J[/#80ff00]

[#80ff00]PS... Man that fish has a big head....[/#80ff00]

after I posted it as 30 and looked at the picture zoomed in on the tail I think I'm an 1/8" inch short. your call
