Anglers frequently catch 20 to 30 lb. snook, but the biggest one in Florida history packs quite a few more pounds.
The record for the biggest common snook caught in Florida weighed in at 44 lbs. 3 oz., and got hooked in Ft. Myers in the '80s.
I admit I have a foggy memory from ages zero to five (I was born in 1985), but I'm pretty sure I would have remembered pulling in this hog. I guess my secret is out, so I'll share a couple of personal records and firsts for me as an angler. The top picture is of a rare species called a lookdown. I pulled it off my dock one night when targeting snook, and I actually had to consult my Florida Gulf coast fish identification book. As for the bottom photo, the species deserves no bragging rights, but I caught two jack at the same time. Again, I was targeting snook, but you can't always get what you want.
