I'm the handsome one on the left... That snook was 38" This was a week before snook season started, so it was all catch and release.
Ooooo, that's a nice dinner or three you had to toss back. That happens up here with big fluke now & again. The fishery gets shut down due to quota, then for the next week you nail 5 - 8 lbers that have to get tossed back.
Snook season is limited here. You also need a special stamp and the harvest limit is one per day (must be > 28"and <32").
