Snook “grow to a maximum overall length of 140 centimeters (4.6\u00a0ft)<\/strong> but common length is 50 centimeters (1.6\u00a0ft). \u00a0The IGFA world record is 24.32\u00a0kg (53\u00a0lb 10 oz) caught in Parismina Ranch, Costa Rica by a woman named Rafael Montalvo.[1]<\/a><\/sup>[2]<\/a><\/sup> Of typical centropomid form, it possesses drab coloration except for a distinctive black lateral line<\/a>. It can also possess bright yellow pelvic and caudal fins<\/a>, especially during the spawn.[3]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

The common snook is an estuarine-dependent fish species.[7]<\/a><\/sup> Common snook are opportunistic predators<\/a> whose feeding habits indicate that there is a positive relationship between their size and the size of their prey, meaning that as the snook grows it feeds on larger and larger prey.[11]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

Common snook, like many species of fish, are very in tune with their environment, meaning that even a slight change in their surroundings can have a significant impact on their behavior. For example, common snook are able to determine when to start and stop spawning based on the temperature and salinity of the water they inhabit, the amount of rainfall in the area and whether or not there is a full moon.[13]<\/a><\/sup>[14]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

However, there are some cases in which disturbances in their environment can have very negative effects on the snook population. One example of this is the devastating results of a cold snap<\/a>. Snook are very susceptible to cold temperatures, with the effects ranging from the complete halt of all feeding at a water temperature of 14.2\u02daC, to the loss of equilibrium<\/a> at 12.7 \u030aC, to death at a temperature of 12.5 \u030aC.[15]<\/a><\/sup> Recently, a cold snap in January 2010 resulted in a 41.88% decline in nominal abundance<\/a> of the common snook population in Southwest Florida from the previous year and a 96-97% post-cold event decrease in apparent survival estimates.[16]<\/a><\/sup>” \u00a0More background here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re big advocates of catch and release, particularly for snook, but pretty much\u00a0for most species. \u00a0Only take what you are going to eat, and a lot of fish are better off as sportfish, even if they are in season. \u00a0Our motto is let \u2018em get bigger and catch \u2018em again!<\/p>\n
