Common snook

Wild.

Snook and Jack's charging them.

We're at the bottom of the low tide.

Got a nice incoming tide all morning.

My mind is always, even when I'm out there fishing, you know, on a good day, I'm two or three moves in my head ahead of, and I can always hear Scott in the back of my head going, don't leave fish to find fish, dumbass.

Scott, what I was thinking about is, now we know, and maybe this will kind of go into a different discussion, but the one I'm thinking about is, Snook is something that I've never really targeted ever.

So I've wondered if I just spent an entire week going up into some of these back, you know, alleys of, of Aranda's Bay and really hammered, you know, below and at, and I know they're more, this is more likely in Florida than Texas at, at some of the mangroves and stuff like that.

They cannot just be deep down south.

And then, yeah, feed your, topically feed your teeth and then they become strong.

Jabu wants to ask a question about snook fish.

Jabu, good evening to you.

Yes, sir.

Yeah, go ahead, sir.

It's not an insult and it's not criticizing negatively.

I've been in Cape Town and most of the Capetonians, my colored community, they eat snook fish.

And as a result, when I heard, when I was there, it's because the snook, snookfish, is the one that actually caused them to lose their teeth.

what were you kind of – like what species did you want to target?

Snook, permit, tarpon.

triple tail

bonefish bonefish yeah they got them down there

Saturday's a tournament, normal tournament, you know, 7 a.m. until 3.

It's tarpon, redfish, I want to say snook.

Snook.

And I'm not sure.

What species did you want to target?

Snook, permit, tarpon.

Triple tail.

Bonefish.

They've got some entertainment, some raffles, good dinner.

Saturday's a tournament, normal tournament, you know, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Species? It's tarpon, redfish, I want to say snook.

Snook.

And I'm not sure.

That's just not right to tell me that.

I forgot to ask him about Snook, too.

That's something that I suspect there are some in that surf down there.

Yeah, I might have to just take a little vacation time here.

Maybe all Rudys have this weird, uh-

Snook addiction.

[laughs]

Yeah, yeah.

You know, we don't catch them.

But like that would be my thought is like, well, there's.

Got to be like an overslot at some point for Snooks.

So, yeah, it almost sounds like for the time being, like, if you really want to feel good about it in Alabama, northwest Florida, probably need to let them go.

It's

I mean, Ladd McConkie's one of my guys.

If I do this, the round, round four is absolutely loaded with wide receivers, Snook.

It's Garrett, it's Ladd, it's Ibuka, it's Burton, it's Waddle.

It, I mean, it's loaded, right? Round two, there's seven running backs go.

In redraft, I am fully committed to taking him in that fourth round here, because being able to get a wide receiver with 140 target upside in the fourth round is unbelievable.

You know, him and, and Garrett both could be in that range of finishing as top 10 to top 12 wide receivers, and I absolutely love it.

Snook, I think you're on mute 'cause you're excited about this, but this next guy, woo.

You stole my guy, right? I, last year I told everyone, and you, you can pull up the, you can pull up the receipts.

Yeah, let me...

Snook and trout are probably my two favorites.

Your two fortes.

Yeah, for sure.

We've got warmer temperatures now, milder winters, you know, and just generally better conditions for snook in Texas.

So recently, certainly since, like, 2010, we've seen more and more snook in Texas bays, and, you know, I think we're gonna see a better fishery in the next, you know, hopefully couple decades, so...

That's kind of the direction that's Snooker headed.

I think from here we want to kind of identify nursery habitats and just kind of, you know, pockets of habitats that are really important for them.
