So, can you give a hint as to the location of the sunset shot...north or south of El Tomatal?

I'm with you, Woody. I aint ending my Baja vacation to drive a day or more to find a freakin' IGFA scale. To me, record submissions are an ego thing.
I imagine that the current record for spotties has been broken more than once along that section of coast. Just not that easy to verify it.

To me, tournaments are different. Many are now geared to releasing fish or only taking such a small amount of 1-2 species. In many cases, literally
only ONE submission by each angler of each species.
Plus, many are for local charity and they do have their appeal as a social function with the expected banquet and watering hole stories. They also
provide income for locals as guides, cooks, etc. Nice mixers for locals and gringos, too.
Besides furthering an ego, what good do records accomplish? If we really need to know the largest of a given species, then send divers into the water
or net em, measure em and release em.
