- Caught a big one this morning at sunrise on the beach in Jupiter, Florida. The snook hit my lure in inches of water in the calm surf. Beautiful fish.
Beautiful fish and morning! Unfortunately, it's just making me more homesick. I've been away from the area for too many years and your video captures the exact reasons I need to get back. Thanks!
Thx. Hope you make it back
I second that. I spent ten happy years in Florida and I caught many snook and jack from the beach. That’s why I watch these videos! Need to go back. Life’s too short.
Awesome catch !! Have caught a few big beach ⛱️ snook over here in the Naples / Bonita Springs area !! Great catch and watching these vids is getting my stoke up to go fishing !!!
Thx. Catch em up
Great video, first time watching your channel and subscribed. I beach fish west coast of Florida and never fished that shallow close to shore.... in the swash. I need to add that Vudu Mullet to my arsenal. 👍🏼
Thx for watching
It's a good lure but as you can imagine ... if you fish for snook alot... there are days they won't even look at it
What a beauty! Nice footage!
Thx
I moved to florida from N.C. when I was 10 yrs old. I'm now 63 yrs. old. Great place to live and start a family. Deerfield, Pompano bch. area. We live in a paradise.
Glad you feel that way. Thx for the comment
Nice job and that snook. We're still not recovered from the massive red tide issues we had over a year ago down here in Naples. Maybe by nex year. Hey see you're new so I subbed you. Gonna take a look and see what you have. Thanks.
Didn't know red tide was still there ... sorry, that sucks. Yeah the channel us new. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Realize you proly meant lasting impact from previous red tide. Sucks either way
Beach vibes the best 🤙🏽
Yes. Thx for watching
I’ve caught many big snook right At that same spot biggest was 43 on rapala. Nice video
Thx. Tight lines
Awesome vid👍
Thx
Great video and thanks! I have caught some pretty big snook under my local bridges in the Stuart area but so far nothing from the beach, even as recent as this week. This was late afternoon. Am I better off trying deep in the night or at dawn?
I don't like night fishing but night def good for snook. Dawn and dusk are great times too. But they'll also hit midday. My beach fly fishing video was around noon. Know your beach. Gonna post another midday bite soon. Nice to sight fish when the sun is up. Good luck

Thank you!!!
Enjoyed that I fish jupiter beach what is a good lure for snook or in gen7 keep posting!!
Thanks. That snook ate a vudu mullet. Always good to 'match the hatch' but also good to have a lure you have confidence with. Try different ones and see what works best for you
Just got back from Marco Island. Just beach fished mostly with shrimp off the bottom. Didn't catch anything "epic" but did get some smallish snook along with myriad other finned creatures including a little hammerhead. Just curious, what do you think he weighed? Two years ago with a guide at night I got two 12 lb'rs and my son got an 11. Yours looks about that, but I can't really tell. Anyway nice video. Thanks!
You know, I've never weighed a snook. But this one was definitely 40+ inches. So maybe 15-20 lbs? Others can comment on what a 40 inch snook weighs. Thanks for watching.
Great video man, itching for summer again. What lb leader you throwing?
Thx. As for leader ... multiple factors. At the beach if the water is churned up or dirty and/or anticipating big fish - 40 or 50 lb flourocarbon. Smaller fish and clear water - 30 lb
sorry to ask but what lure did you use to catch the big snook in im pretty interested just checked out the channel love the channel keep up the good work I subscribed too
Vudu mullet
What a great morning of fishing !
Thx
Great video and epic fish! I’m headed down to Jupiter end of April, will I be able to find the snook in the shallow surf like this that time of year?
thx
probably not in April, but they usually start showing up in May and it gets better and better thru summer and early fall
@@straightouttajupiter what’s my heat bet for getting after snook in April? Juno pier? The inlet? Thanks for the info!
bro said "trying to social distance" im sure now you're looking back and cringing at this hahaha.
Yeah
Nice fish. Tip... take forceps when you fish.
Good tip!
Great videos brother,what set up do
You use?
Gear used is written in the description below the video
FANTASTIC SNOOK
Indeed
I’m new to the area and looking to beach Surfcast - do you have a suggestion for which beach to start at ?? // looking to bring anyone fishing ? 👍🏽
Beaches near the inlets and piers, or with their own structure are the best
nice catch!! where in jupiter is this?
Thx. I dont think my fellow beach fisherman would appreciate me giving more detail. The snook are everywhere right now. Water is crystal clear. Tons of bait. Go find them! Thx for watching
You earned a sub
Thx
Awesome! Quick question, what size reel was that?
9 weight
I think i answered on the wrong video. Sunrise snook on penn slammer 4500 or 5500 I dont recall which. I guess I can start including gear info below
Straight Outta Jupiter awesome! Thanks, I was highly confused for a minute! lol
Sorry about that. Fyi I'm certain now of the combination I was using that day ... shimano teramar 7'6 medium w the 4500 reel. Lighter than I prefer for big snook but tough to throw small baits with heavier gear.
nice catch sir! what r ur gears setup used? from Philippines here...
Wow Philippines. Hey the gear used is listed in the description below the video
Sorry just realized I was answering about a different video. But the gear for this vid is listed in the comments section cuz others also asked. Let me know if you dont find it
Epic indeed!
Thx
Nice fish...what brand and model rod are you using? Thanks
I think I answered in a previous comment. Let me check
Shimano teramar 7'6" medium action rod. Penn slammer 4500 reel.
I hope next time you bring some long pliers to get a better and quicker release
I had pliers. The lure was way too far down for pliers
@@straightouttajupiter That's what I'm saying, they make special pliers just for that. Several different types and they are cheap. Some are angled some not some come w/ little loops on the end etc. Whatever you prefer, jut a little effort to get a pair of these pliers will really pay off. :)
What kind of set up are you using?
On this day... shimano teramar 7.5 foot medium weight rod with penn slammer 4500 reel. For catch and release snook fishing, I try to use the heaviest gear possible, considering the bait, conditions etc. I highly doubt most fish will survive long drawn out battles on ultra light tackle.
They also won't survive if you pick them up by the jaw and don't support their body right away. Nice snook tho.
Awesome size fish, and a hell of a fight! However by the way it was bleeding I would have not released it, but that’s just me.
I believe that would be illegal ..to keep an overslot snook regardless of the circumstances ... ie. even if it dies. Others please comment
@@straightouttajupiter it’s a good discussion to have. Check out this article from FWC
myfwc.com/research/saltwater/fish/snook/reduce-catch-release-mortality/
It states that removing the hook when it’s deep inside, and/or injuries to the gills typically result in the fish dying. That plus stress and exhaustion from a prolonged fight.
My assessment based on the FWC article is that the fish must have been tremendously exhausted, the hook seemed to be well inside, close to the gills. You removed the hook which is against the recommended technique, but fair enough, you were using a lure, so a little bit more tricky in your case but nevertheless, there were visible injuries on the fish. It was bleeding when you were holding it, and blood was seen in the water during the release. So, my conclusion is that essentially you killed the fish.
Now, the questions I’d like to ask and allow people to comment are, what do we do with a dead fish? Do you throw it back to the water? Or you make use of this resource and consume its meat? What would happen if FWC inspects your cooler and sees a fish that is ilegal to keep? Can you explain what happened and the reasons why you kept it? Will they argue or believe you?
@@franciscopinero3692 yes, they will definitely argue with you. it really does not matter if the fish is going to die, the rules are rules. and if you know how to unhook your fish correctly, they should be fine. fish are a lot tougher than we believe them to be. I've gut hooked multiple fish and have had them swim off just fine. my girlfriends father has even hooked onto jack that have taken the fishing rod into the water, a year later, he caught the same fish with the fishing rod still attached to it. that's how tough they are. so in the end, that snook will probably live and carry on with his fish life.
That's my dream just to catch anything big on the beach as the sun is rising 🙏 🙏
The best. Good luck
What were u using
vudu shad (mullet)
nice snook
Thx
did that clown ask if you had a mask lmao
Haha. It's ok. He wanted to help. If you listen you can hear him hoot when I lift the fish off the sand. He was excited as me
Probably, Some old asshole from the Jersey Governors office.
Hope there acting up at Jupiter inlet tomorrow morning
Good luck
Indian river drive has huge snook
i'm not sure what you mean but thanks
@@straightouttajupiter its over here on the other side of florida we get big snook out of there
what size reel
I think it's in the description below the video. If not I'll look it up and get back to you
@@straightouttajupiter i found it in another caption you answered 👍
"Social distance" catches the down vote
I don't know what this means
Social distance lmao...
I'm trying
