Buttars 2021 cat contest
#1
Well, after last year with only catching a handful of cats and none of them being worthy to submit to the contest, the first one this year definitely is. 31 inches. I feel is was longer but the tape measure I have isn’t the best for measuring fish accurately. I need to buy a bump board.

Man that’s a nice cat, congrats. I’m afraid the picture cost you at least a half inch. I can only see 30.5” since the end of the tape is an inch past its nose. I think if the kink was out of the fish it would have been really close to 31 but for these bigger fish I have to go with what I can see. Great first fish. Congrats  
Oh one thing I need to remind everyone to do, that is you need the date, length and where caught on your post. Thanks Jeff

That's a beaut! Way to keep the North from zooming off while we weren't keeping up.
The older I get the more I would rather be considered a good man than a good fisherman.

Sorry that was the wrong photo. I’ll post a better one and if you still think that no worries! https://ibb.co/M7gqQP4

I think that’s over on the tail as much as under on nose so I’ll give you 31 for it. Congrats

  The photo of your Cat is way too big to see everything and it is up on end.  I have resized it and see 26.5".

PENDING

Thanks! I will try to figure out the resize thing. I didn’t see that people were having an issue until after I posted it.

    I was able to open it in a new tab, but I can't enlarge or rotate it. Too small, can't see the measurements.  Try resizing it and repost.

Hopefully that is better. If not I will try with my phone and not a computer. Can't figure out why this thing doesn't like me.

  That made it a bit bigger, but still can't rotate it or enlarge it enough to see the measurement.
