This fish steamed off 40 yards of line in under 10 seconds. Then took another 30 yards up a shoreline. Then back down the shoreline under the mangroves around a tire clad with oysters through mangrove root tunnels and back up the shoreline. Somehow the line held! Our minimal 20 lb fluorocarbon held! Our little 2/0 owner hook held and we hillbilly handlined this fish to the boat! In the water for some pictures and WOW!!! What a great trip! SNOOK SNOOK more SNOOK and some redfish with trout!
