Dock Snook! (pic&vid)

Lime Cider · Post by **Lime Cider** » Tue Feb 26, 2008 8:55 pm

Monday after work I put-in on the ICW, near T.I. There was a really nice looking residential canal that had some depth to it, even at the "low". Finger mullet were scattering and everything looked good. I tied on one of my faves, the Yo. Crys. Minn. and was smacked on the first cast. Of course the snook made a bee-line for the structure. I tried, but couldn't stop the train with my 10lb. P.P. I loosened my drag and went in after the fish. After many pilings and three docks, my prey headed for open waters where I commenced to subduing it long enough for a couple of pics. I had my "poor-mans" hat-cam on and captured the event.

Videos like that should be illegal! Got me all pumped up to go fishing but NOOOOOOOOOOOOO..... I have to go to work!

We were just talking about you and your "hatcam" the other day. lol That was a great video, a superb job landing that fish and a gorgeous snook.
