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.

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.

Richard, what a totally incredible season you and Vi have going, hard for me to imagine those fish you guys are catching this year... Man if my head calcs are correct you're over 103 points, new all time high score.... very well done... Later Jeff
