Snook

Snook are sleek, silvery predators found in shallow coastal waters, mangroves, and estuaries across warm Atlantic regions. They are distinguished by a prominent black lateral line running nose to tail and a protruding lower jaw. These aggressive ambush hunters typically patrol the edges of structure—fallen trees, rocks, or murky channels—waiting to strike at passing prey with sudden bursts of speed. Snook are prized by divers and anglers alike for their powerful runs and acrobatic fights.
