It started out as a pretty good day for catching Trout. They weren’t in their usual “long hole” that they’re often found in, so we explored the surrounding flats, and managed to catch a Trout about every 15-20 minutes.
In the middle of the Trout bite…….I hit this Monster Snook. This is my personal best, by far.
When I saw the swirl in the water and determined it wasn’t a Redfish, I was thinking it was a Gator Trout……….. for the longest time, until it showed itself alongside the Kayak. Holy%#@&, a Snook. I have only caught a couple of snook before this one, and figured they would be in the warmer canals, not on the flats. Anyway, it was a great ride. The Snook spun the Kayak at least twice. Thankfully, Holly was there to get the video.
Hopefully the Snook continue to re-populate around here, because that was an awesome fishing experience (and exhausting for both me and the fish).
