I'd say youth - unless there are a lot of older guys doing as well privately. I think it more likely we're seeing the true representation of the evolution of the sport when we see young, fit guys in wetsuits with huge fish. It's hard to argue with those photos.
Before we oldsters get overly depressed, we have to take into context the differences between the recent past and the distant past. The learning curve is about a 1/4 of what it used to be. Younger people who have come to the sport post-Internet and post-publication of definitive manuals, now can couple unbounded enthusiasm with plentiful resources and reach a higher level of skill in a much shorter time.
