I'm offended you would speak so casually about catching members of my
family! :) Just kidding. I always forget about the fish called "Snook".
It is odd to hear people talking about catching big snook.

ROFL! There are six Snook telephone numbers in this small county, but I
don't recall ever meeting a person named Snook. A check of Google shows
that the Snook clan came over from various European countries in the 18th
century and established themselves heavily in the northeast and not as
heavily in Kansas and adjoining states. Their most common profession was
farming. One website claims the name originated as "snoc" and later became
"snoke", an outcropping of land.
