Good start but pretty sure you will bump that one soon. First entry I remember seeing from the Spanish Fork River.
Keep 'em coming. Smile

Very nice good for 26 and 25 and the first one posted is good for 26 also. Stupid add is placed over the edit button so I can't edit that post. Nice job. Jeff 

I took my girlfriend along and she caught the biggest cat of the day. A 27".  Go figure. Rolleyes

Had some luck fishing tonight with Grampa. March 31st.
Spanish fork river.
Carp for bait.
i'm gonna say 29". But the tip of the tail is just barely there so if the judges say 28 1/2 I'm all right with that. I'm hoping to have some 30s pushing this one off the board later this year anyway.  Big Grin

Great job I'm seeing it touch the line so I'm calling it 29 points. Biggest so far this year. Great job.

Thanks all. It is my best catch here in Utah. And man was it a fun fight. Hopefully I can find some more like this one this summer.

Paddlingkittys: I am glad I was able to finally join you guys in the 30” club. It took some time to get here. But it is sweet to have made it in with you guys finally!

Great fish and you should look a little Hollywood with a 30”er. 30 points. 

I didn’t mean to have the Hollywood look going on when the pic happened, but it is the only one that turned out with a standup view of the cat.

Hi Forest--  I can answer that one for Gus while he is at work. The fish weighed 11 pounds. Great fight accompanied by that music we all like to hear... the buzzzz of a smoking drag. We thought he would do better than 30 inches when first netted but still a great cat... and, of course, he is still out there to add inches and pounds.

Yup, I got it okay. Kind of embarrassed because I remembered I entered his first cat under my name because he could not log on to the new BFT. My mistake, thanks for sorting it out.
