Great looking fish Richard! Good for 27.5 and 30 points.

Glad you did better than we did on Monday. Only got 4 cats all day. Must have tried all the wrong places Undecided

Jim, you will see in the photo the tail over hanging the bump board easy a half inch. Violet brought to my attention the nose of the cat is not against the board but overriding it (as we see it) thus the question is it 37" ?  Which ever way you see it I am OK. Glad you are the judge.

I sent you a PM

Great fish Richard! Definitely over 36.5, but before I score it, I want to get the best look I can.

It is unfortunate that you didn't put a tape to that catfish. The Utah state record catch and release catfish is only 36 3/4 inches, set this year.
