What's bigger than Snookzilla? Snook-squatch! Went fishing with Capt. Greg
Snyder just a couple of weeks ago in Jensen Beach and caught my biggest
snook of my life. I get to show you in this week's episode and I can't wait!
Here's the scoop, we went down to Jensen Beach and tried to film a couple of episodes with
Capt. Greg Snyder and Capt. Ed Zyak. Went out with Capt. Greg first day and
had a rough start to the day. It was hot, nothing big biting, we had to
outrun some storms and almost called it quits late in the afternoon. So we
hid under the 10 cent bridge and s we were casting for the 400th time, I
hooked into something huge and lost it. My stomach sank . . . but I knew
they were here! Then Greg casts and hooks into something that feels pretty
decent and pulls in a sweet 42 inch snook. Now, I'm happy for him an all . .
. after all it was his birthday, but I'm feeling a little left out,
right?
So, I'm casting, and casting, I'm throwing a deep diving
DOA Baitbuster
by the bridge, I'm actually doing a "tip" for the camera on using the
baitbuster when all of a sudden I feel a thump . . . it felt like a good
fish, but when I got the first look at it I think I may have freaked out a
bit! It was a beast! Both Greg and me had to hold on to her at first when we
got her to the boat. Once I was sure I had a hold, I told Greg to let go. I
got her into the boat and measured her on the boat. I got my personal best
snook, ever that day - 48 inches! Happy Birthday Greg and an early Happy
Birthday to me too I guess, my birthday was only 4 days away. Can't wait to
show y'all this episode.
I was just over at the MPI Studios yesterday shooting some stuff for our
upcoming "Bits and Bites" episode and got to get a quick sneak peak of the
segment where I'm fighting that big snook. Got my heart pumping and my knees
shaking again. Wait until you see how much my 7'6" Flats Blue
rod is bent over fighting that 48 inch Snook-squatch! If you've ever wanted
to know if those rods have the backbone needed to catch big fish - you'll
get to see it in action with your own eyes on this episode.
The second day we went out with Capt. Ed Zyak and the conditions had
changed, completely different than the day before. Capt. Ed was also just
back from a 10 day road trip out in Texas for
DOA Lures
and this was his first day back on the water. We had a great day tooling
around in my
Skeeter SX240 and playing with all the gadgets (especially since Capt. Ed's also a Pro
for
Humminbird
- I always learn something new from him), but the fish just weren't biting.
That's all right, we'll be back to Jensen Beach,
River Palm Cottages
and will be visiting those snook again soon.
Tune in tomorrow, Friday, August 8th at 10:30 a.m. ET on Fox SunSports for this week's episode
"Baitbuster Bridge."
Check the AF website for replay times on Sunday and Wednesday.
Until next week . . . tight lines,
Blair
