but you can call me what you want:
robalo
sergeant fish
soap fish
linesider
saltwater pike
I prefer queen of the backcountry, but snook is all right early Monday mornings when I know you're sitting at a desk instead of on a boat.
All of these names refer to the common snook, but there are 12 species of the genus Centropomus that live in the Northern hemisphere. Four of these twelve live in Florida, and the common snook is the one most commonly encountered. The fat snook, tarpon snook, and sword-spined snook also cruise Florida and Texas waters, but rarely grow large enough for fishermen to catch. You may have had enough, but if you're thirsty for more snook nicknames or characteristics, check out this piece from Florida Sportsman magazine.
