Common Snook (Centropomus undecimalis) are one of Florida's most sought-after gamefish, known for their strong fights and acrobatic jumps. These ambush predators are instantly recognizable by their sleek silver bodies, pronounced lateral line, and distinct undershot jaw. - Snook are protandric hermaphrodites, meaning they can change from male to female as they grow larger. - They are temperature sensitive and can die during extreme cold snaps.
