Dom! It was a pleasure meeting you brotha! So stoked you got the chance to hook into some crazy fish! Hit me up anytime you are in town and want to hit La Jolla, fly fish bays or even Sierras! You were blast to fish with. Cheers!

That's some awesome fishing there, nice video and pictures.

Where is Gonzaga located in Baja?

BTW, those were Tutuava not WSB, correct? I notice the hump on their shoulders which Tutuava have but Whites don't. I ask because, I think they are endangered and still protected.

Looks like you released it, good. But, it's nice to know they still exist, and that size looked capable of breeding. I think that must be the largest fish in the croaker family as the largest used to go around 300lbs. My grandfather had old photos from San Felipe trips in the 1950s when he went fishing there. One photo showed 6-8 Tutuavas hanging from hooks, 6-7 foot fish, all 150lbs or more. It's too bad better restrictions didn't exist to keep that population of fish around.
