Many[who?<\/span><\/a><\/i>]<\/sup>\u00a0believe that snook originated in Central America and that changes in the earth\u2019s climate are what brought the snook to Florida. It is believed that during a great warming trend after the Ice Age, snook moved northward along the Mexico shoreline. They followed the perimeter of the Gulf of Mexico, down the west coast of Florida and up the east coast. There are massive snook in Central America, although they seem to look a little different because of the weather and water quality but besides that, they are the same.<\/p>\n

There are no restrictions in most of Central America on the size or quantity of snook one can keep, consequently, many locals have been keeping and killing the massive snook for quite a while.[18]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0Occurring in shallow coastal waters (up to 20 meters (66\u00a0ft) depth),\u00a0estuaries<\/a>, and\u00a0lagoons<\/a>, the fish often enters\u00a0fresh water<\/a>. It is\u00a0carnivorous<\/a>, with a diet dominated by smaller fishes, and\u00a0crustaceans<\/a>\u00a0such as\u00a0shrimp<\/a>, and occasionally\u00a0crabs<\/a>.[19]<\/a><\/sup>\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/sup>Please see more information here.<\/a><\/p>\n
