[QUOTE="stillinscrubs, post: 1346488, member: 4420"] Corey, Those are some really solid snook. They are a lot of fun to catch on bucktails as you described have done it many times myself. I am sure glad that the state of florida has a slot limit on both the reds and the snook so that lots of people can enjoy catching them many times. I used to run around with some people who were good friends with one of the biologists in the snook program down there. They have a very intensive research project to manage the population. They consistently harvest around 100% of the allowable fish in the fishery each year (from what I recall), meaning just enough legal fish make it through the harvest period alive to reach good spawning size like the fish you were catching. People still get to enjoy cathing snook throughout the year especially during the spawn when they are easier to target and can be caught in huge numbers. Lots of people get to eat snook and the population remains healthy. The snook population had a lot of issues in the past when people could kill all the large fish. Did you get offshore at all? I find the carbon disk drag comments funny for freshwater fish in your other thread. I don't think any freashwater fish need a great drag system.... These fish need carbon disk drags......
