I love catching Snook!
Ever since I went Snook fishing for my very first time in Marco Island, FL (way back in the day), I have been hooked on Snook.
So I always find it very interesting to see exactly how the eat (aka attack), as it can help me understand how to best present my lure, fly, or live bait to a Snook.
This video, although not the clearest water in the state of Florida, still does a great job of showing you exactly how Snook attack (and how quickly they can move on a fly).
Enjoy!
The ingredients for this simply awesome snook video:
However, even though the angler in this video goes by the name “Team Googan”, it is clear that he can out-fish most anglers in Florida, with or without a spiderman fishing rod…
The results of these ingredients above?
Perhaps the most amazing Snook video we have seen this year.
Well done Team Googan!
Please SHARE this crazy video with a friend that loves Snook fishing! You Rock!
P.S. – If you didn’t see this same angler in the recent video “Miami Kayaker Catches A Snook Without A Fishing Rod”, then click here after you watch the video below.
This is pretty awesome Snook fishing!
On a fishing trip to Costa Rica many years ago, we were going after monster snook up on some cliffs that overlooked the ocean. I can still recall the local guy (our guide) that was up there with a handline (30 feet above the water) trying to catch a 40lb snook (he caught one on rod and reel later that week).
Even though he didn’t catch anything huge up there that evening, I can still recall being fascinated watching him fish more effectively that most rod and reel anglers with a handline. He had truly mastered the art.
Well this guy in the video below appears to have a similar gift for the art of handline fishing. Fishing a seawall in Biscayne Bay (Miami), this kayak angler lands a nice snook without ever having to touch a rod or reel!
In fact, he makes it look pretty easy (which it is not).
Well done my man!
P.S. – Big thanks (and Happy Birthday) to Salt Strong member (in Hawaii) Nic Turner for sending in this video
This will probably be the coolest thing you see all day!!!
I know that it was for me…
Who would never have guessed in a hundred years that someone would be catching a Snook while soaring on a water jet pack (aka flyboard – aka jetlev).
Well this guy named Hunter Skipper not only thought it could happen, he set out to prove it in this freaking amazing snook video.
Hunter shows us how it is done as he lands a nice snook while up in the air, moving around like a branch in a hurricane, all from the “comfort” of his water jet flyboard.
This is certainly flyboard snook fishing at its finest (simply because we have no other flyboard fishing videos to compare it to).
If you like it as much as we did, PLEASE SHARE it with a friend (or two). You Rock! Pow!
It’s Tarpon Time!
Over the past couple of years, we have seen a bunch of great tarpon footage from Boca Grande, Florida (the Tarpon capital of the world).
Heck, we have been a part of some of them as Luke and I grew up fishing around Little Gasparilla Island and Boca Grande, and we have caught and jumped some great tarpon ourselves.
But we believe that this tarpon video takes the cake.
These guys didn’t hold anything back! They threw in amazing drone footage showing the massive school of tarpon in and around the pass, they got some epic close-up footage of some monster tarpon, and they land
They threw in amazing drone footage showing the massive school of tarpon in and around the pass, they got some epic close-up footage of some monster tarpon, and they land tarpon on the beach, on land, and on boat.
They even threw in a couple of SLOB snook just for good measure (icing on the cake). Amazing footage Light Tackle Charters and crew!
If this doesn’t get you FIRED UP for Tarpon season, then there is simply nothing that will…

P.S. – After you watch this amazing video below, please SHARE and TAG someone you know that loves Tarpon. POW!
If you love catching snook and permit, then you will appreciate every minute of this “Snook and Permit Fishing Heaven” video filmed in Mexico.
If this doesn’t want to make you grab a fly rod and head for the border, then nothing will!
Great job Outdoor Hub and Casa Blanca Fly Fishing Lodge in Yucatan, Mexico.
We hope to be there in the near future hooking into some monster inshore fish like this!
If you have ever caught an inshore fish before, then you know how addicting it can be to go out and do it again…and again…and again…
There is something magical when a fish strikes your line, when the line starts sizzling out, and beating all of the variables you must overcome to land any inshore fish, regardless if you are using a fly reel or a spinning reel…
So when we saw this incredible video by Patrick Rhea of Livit Films (check out our entertaining interview with Patrick here), we had to share it because we knew that you would relate to it.
That you would relate to the “Skinny Water Obsession” of doing anything to find the best fishing spots…
That you would relate to driving hundreds of miles to try new areas…
That you would sacrifice other things in life to be able to wet a line and catch fish.
This is the Skinny Water Obsession, and Patrick did one heck of a job documenting what it feels like.

Our friend Darcizzle just had an amazing couple of days snook fishing over in Stuart, Florida.
Just check out the size of the snook she catches right off the bat.
Not a bad way to start the day.
And it doesn’t end there…
Darcizzle and Captain Ken Hudson (Snook City Charters) put on a “Snook-a-thon”, and have one heck of a great time catching snook around the snook-loaded docks in Stuart.
Captain Ken also gives some great tips on how to fish the docks for snook.
Finally, make sure to stick around until the very end, as Darcizzle re-catches the same snook that broke her off (and took her hook) just a couple of hours before.
Amazing Darcizzle Snook-a-thon!
P.S. – If you haven’t seen the incredibly fun and entertaining interview we had with Darcizzle, check it out below. It is worth the watch.
Wounded Warrior Scott Lilley is one lucky dude.
He is incredibly lucky to be alive after serving our country and losing a huge chunk of his skull/head to an explosive in Iraq.
And he is one incredibly lucky fisherman as well.
After picking Scott and his best friend Brandon Claussen (former MLB player) up at the docks around 4pm, we ended up only having an hour and a half to fish after dropping off their gear and giving them the full tour of our island living situation.
And when Scott told us that not only had he never been snook fishing, but he had never even seen a snook, Luke and I would have been happy just getting Scott on a small snook for his first evening of fishing…
But Scott had other plans…
Not only did he land a huge snook within 10 minutes of fishing, he landed a huge jack, and then one more big snook about 20 minutes after that.
In total, he brought in two slot snook (30 inch and 32 inch snook) all in the matter of an hour…all during his first time ever inshore fishing ever.
Amazing guy.
Amazing fishing.
