About the Common Snook (Centropomus undecimalis):

The common snook is a sleek, powerful predatory fish found in coastal waters, estuaries, and mangrove-lined shorelines from the southeastern United States through Central America, the Caribbean, and into South America. Recognizable by its prominent black lateral line, protruding lower jaw, and divided dorsal fin, the snook is a euryhaline species — equally at home in saltwater, brackish, and freshwater environments. Highly sensitive to cold temperatures, it thrives in the warm tropical and subtropical waters of Florida, where it is one of the most sought-after inshore game fish.
