Some Everglades Snook.

[dangermouse01]

Couple of snook I caught during our little paddle thru the Everglades. Both of these were caught while I was wading off of Highland Beach.
The small one, was 24".

The big one was 28".

Both released to roam the ocean. Closed season for them in the Everglades, and they upped the minimum size from 28" to 29" in 2008.
But the fun is in the catching for me anyways.

Bearridge;
Might look like a pony tail, but I am really saving up for a future "back to front" comb-over pompadore that will put Don Trump to shame. :lol:

Mike,

Not sure how I missed this thread but mate, they are fine looking fish.

I can see the power in their body line and am guessing they would be a hoot to catch on light gear. How big do they grow?
