Easiest release of a Snook. After the Snook has been gently de-hooked, place your thumb inside its mouth holding the bottom jaw securly in your hand. All done with fish held in water. The Snook will allow you to hold it like this until it is ready to swim away. It's a very cool thing!

You mean you lip it like a bass?
My name is Sandy & I have a long time angler. I enjoy both fresh & saltwater with my preference being saltwater. Thank you for allowing me to join. I k fall thfo re: fishing, e
Tight lines & bent rods to all! 🎣
Yes, but you don't hold on to the fish. The snook will remain in the water, not being held by you. It just holds on to your thumb & stays there, unlike the bass that just wants to quickly swim away.

OH, I see what you mean. That sounds cool. Glad to know that. I've never fished for them.
Thanks for the welcome & compliment on the snook. Both my husband & myself enjoy fishing for Snook.
Do you mostly fish freshwater?

Yep. Mostly bass here during fall, winter and spring. Then trout during the summer.
Do you fish for snook or others saltwater? Are you mostly freshwater, lakes, streams & rivers?

Welcome,
I don't know anything about snook, but they look like they may put up a good fight.
Welcome ss to the forum,great tip. Thanks for pics. E.pa.al
I enjoy bass fishing, especially smallmouth. Love trout fishing, I smoke them. Any if I want to lazy fish, Crappie. Have you ever fished for natives? They are small, but a fun trout to catch.
Where do you live? Lots of good fishing spots nearby?
Yes they are good fighters. You could compare them to freshwater bass. Great to eat also.
