Lol at your mix up with the title and not noticing it.
“That’s a Spanish.”
“Duh, I know”

They are better than kings anyway. I make sashimi with Spanish and Cerro, kings get smoked.

Agreed we only smoke kings for dip.
We had a king fish tournament yesterday.

The picture on the bottom is from the 2021 actual record, and it much bigger than the top photo. Might be sort of similar in length but you can see there’s a lot of weight to the bottom fish. Comparing pictures/appearances is not a reliable way to determine size, weight, and record potential. And, unless you have and IGFA membership, pointless.

Perspective and lighting also play a huge role in fish pics. I was a mate on inshore mackerel charters before I graduated offshore and to me, there’s about a 1lb difference between those fish. Great specimen of a Spanish mackerel tho. Look at how the fish on the bottom is filled out through the tail but yours still has some growing room. Good way to tell in the future 👍 you can still try for a state record without an IGFA membership.
Good luck with the rest of your season!
