The fish was caught on the east side of the island. I will be returning to my winter residence at Chokoloskee in mid-November and hope the freeze of last winter will not have created too large a void in the Snook fishing. Prior to your visit to the island contact me and I shall direct you to some favored waters. Vince
Is this on the west side of Chokoloskee or on the east side..? I have been to chokoloskee on boats with friends who have no patience and you are absolutely right...it takes a lot of patience to catch some nice ones, thats why I am going on a canoe...ALONE :)
Your comments are much appreciated since we view the effort as a great accomplishment while respecting our most favored fish. We all hope someone else can catch him again, respect the future angler by returning him safely, and allow for contined pleasures by others. Vince
I spend the winter in Chokoloskee where I fish whenever the weather allows. That fish was caught only about a 10 minute flats boat ride from my dock. Vince

Nice video. I like that you gave viewers a sense of the amount of hard work and time it takes to get that one nice fish.

If by chance you ever come to Chokoloskee give me a heads up and I shall take you fishing and help you learn to fly fish, and even catch some Snook.

I notice you are 16 years old. Now is the time to learn to fly cast. Where do you live? Maybe I can teach you some of the basics!
