Definately snook. The bass of saltwater but fight a lot more. Big ladyfish are a blast too! 8-)

just having a browse around only joined the forum a couple of weeks ago. thought I might start this one again.
Here`s my list. 1. BARRAMUNDI (LATES CALCARIFER) 2. MANGROVE JACK. (LUTJANID) 3. ESTURAY COD they pull like freight trains. 4. GIANT TREVALLY
The biggest fish I`ve caught was a 1.5 metre Queensland Groper took 40 minutes to land on 50lb braid .estimated weight around 50kilo`s. took a live bait intended for a barramundi.

Trout this time of year because that's what I'm catching a lot of. :D Big ones on a SkitterWalk. Tarpon are going to be my next favorite. ;)

Barracuda! In Israel that's an inshore fish, and it is VERY aggressive :evil:

Redfish, spotted sea trout and ladyfish. I love ladyfish, they go nuts when hooked. They are related to tarpon and act like it.
