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.

Jim, it shouldn’t matter now. I should have two at 29.5 and one at 27.
