Big snook from Black rock. Measured 90 cm and weighed about 4 kg. Put up a good fight on 6 lb. mono and a soft plastic. At first I thought I'd hooked a big snapper, going by the weight. But was a little more sluggish than a snapper would have fought. Had fun landing it in the kayak with a little trout net! Biggest fish from the yak yet, still after a 2 kg + snapper though. Cheers Mick.

Nice snook there Mick...congrats on landing the big lady. I reckon there's a few angry snook waiting for the yak fisho's at the pearly gates...but they may be looking for you amongst the first they seek vengance from :wink:

Well done Mick

WOW Mick, that's a great fish
Well done mate

Well done Mick. The big snook are certainly around at the moment.

How did you cook it up ? I don't like getting my hands slimy so I normally unhook them whilst they are still in water. If they cook up OK I might take one home.

Hoit, I cooked it up and it was surprisingly very good. Very few bones and nice chunky flesh. The missus really did like it. She even rated it as one of the better fish she has eaten. I basically cut her up into steaks, wrapped them into foil with lemons and cooked for about 15 min. No drama. Mick.

[Y-Knot]

now thats a prize fish from a yak Mick... congrats. Are you launching from rickets point when fishing black rock?

 

[Milt]

Very nice Mick, jeez and the 70cm one I caught there last year is a baby compared to yours :shock:

In my my opinion though it wasn't all that good on the table a little bland. But jeez what fish, you have the mangoe record for the biggest snook so far I think

Milt,

 

[PhilipL]

Holy crap, what a fish! nice one
