Have you ever caught a snook? If so, then you have had the challenging experience of catching one of Florida’s most popular game fish.
The common snook is the largest type of snook. Snook are protandric hermaphrodites, which means that the males reverse sex and change into females after spawning season. The common snook may grow to 48 inches and 38 pounds, and is known for its spectacular fighting ability. In a fight with an angler, snook often swim toward structures, such as docks, rocks or pilings, using these structures to tangle and break fishing lines. These fish also have razor-sharp plates on their gills. During a struggle, the snook will twist and turn, fighting to cut the fishing line with its sharp gill plate.
Snook may be found in southern coastal Florida throughout the year in shallow, coastal seas, bays and rivers. Sometimes snook may be found in water only a few inches deep. Anglers should always follow proper fishing ethics and regulations, and release unharmed any undersized or out-of-season snook.
