No pictures, but I caught a 18 pound Snook on a fairly light rig about 15 years ago. I was fishing on bottom with cut mullet, much to the chagrin of my Florida cracker cousin. I was accustomed to 2-3 pound bass in Illinois, so when that thing started dancing across the water, I damn near had a heart attack.

Great looking fish bro. Wayne! I have caught some big ones at the 12 mile reef south of Key West. Also have speared many Hog Snapper.

The Yellow Tail is the one prefered by most Counch's!
