Nice looking snook, other fish that broke off must have been nice as well. Those dolphin were looking for some easy food. Thanks for sharing.

I was glad they didn't get him, I'd have been sick! I hate those things.

That's some serious power right there!

Indeed, that drag was TIGHT and he was still peeling it off! I'd bumped the leader up to 80 from 60 after I got broken off!

I'm baffled on why you were messing around with the trolling motor so much When you lost that fish?

I was trying to get between the dolphin and the snook. My first priority was to make sure those little jerks didn't eat him. The snook was on a little shallow flat that had a channel next to it. After I initially kept him from getting in the mangroves I didn't put the heat on him too much again till I got close to him. I didn't want to pull him in the deeper water where they could get to him. The snook there always drop off that flat into the channel at the end of the fight to make a last stand once they realize the mangroves are no longer an option. I'd rather lose the snook than have him eaten.
