I Caught a MONSTER Fish from a TINY Canal!!!

THE CATCH OF A LIFETIME!!! The fish gods blessed me on this sunny Florida morning, I land this GIGANTIC snook from a very small freshwater canal... I heard that under the right conditions, these giants sometimes swim in the waters, but never in my wildest dreams did I think I would have the privilege to fight this majestic beast on the last day of my trip!

It's funny seeing all these comments saying "You handled that snook the wrong way and it's probably dead!!!". I mean, didn't you guys see that he included a line of text saying that was the wrong way to weigh the fish? So at least he won't handle it wrong again.

When you're reviving fish in the water like that remember where you're at you were in South Florida there are alligators in that water just because you don't see them does not mean they're not there. they might not go after you but in the process of getting to that fish they might get you in the process

I love this video. I've watched it twice in the past few months. I caught my P. B. snook a couple of months ago, 42". I lost one a month ago that wore through fifty pound leader and broke off after a ten minute fight, gigantic snook. I could see the snook the entire time, ground level, within 20 feet of me the entire fight. I decided to not take my Gopro gear that night, just wanted to go fishing for a change; so disappointed I didn't take the night recording gear. Your an awesome guy. Keep the vids coming.

[@ZachCanPlay]

Totally MUST support the snook's body man. Holding it by the mouth, creates tension that can potentially kill the fish. It 101 man.

[@cleversurfer24]

Congrats on your biggest snook, but please learn more about the species before handling them. Its is a shame to see a fish over 6 years old handled like that. Hanging a large snook like that does internal damage and kills the fish very slowly. Good luck and continue to learn about conservation and fish handling.
