SNOOK.
They taste good enough for me. I can catch them without a boat (if necessary). Finicky sometimes makes it a challenge. The initial snatch and grab and aerial show is fantastic. (Think largemouth bass on steroids) Often found in and around the mangroves which poses another challenge. Medium action 7' rod, Stradic 4000 with 30# braid, 3' of 25# flurocarbon leader and a 1/0 Gamakatsu circle hook. All provided I can catch an abundance of white bait to feed them. (that would be two fish technically) Preferable method is to have every one blow up on a topwater lure, seconded by freelining a threadfin herring to their waiting gullet. Not gonna rip your arms from their sockets like a BFT but they can be had in almost any weather, wading and surf fishing or boat up to them like usual. My .02.
