This is something that I felt I must share with everyone. Check out the fish my son and his friend caught a few nights ago. After they brought this in, my son and his friend carried this enormous fish in their bare hands about a 1/4 of mile back to our house (being very careful not to drop it back into the water of course). When arriving back home, the both of them ran as fast as they could up to the house (about 800 feet to the house from the creek). They were so out of breath they almost couldn't tell us about their big catch. Dad and his sisters all ran back to the creek to see what they caught, not believing the story they were telling us.
This is a whopping 43" Snook! I can't believe my son and his friend brought this gigantic fish in. They were so proud of themselves. They caught this fish on a 17lb test. Right after this picture was taken they released the Snook back into the creek which runs into the Englewood Isles Canals in Englewood Florida and he swam away only to be caught again another day. This will be a night that they will always remember and I am sure that this experience will make them Anglers for the rest of their lives.

Kari,
Nice photo and nice fish. What is a Snook? I've never heard of that one.
Terry - Thanks, a Snook is a common fish here in our area. Very difficult to catch since they spit out anything that is not what they normally eat. If you are lucky enough to catch one that is a keeper you will find out that they are a great tasting fish too.
That is a huge fish!
wow...huge bait....I've written a term paper about bass and crocodile fish.
