Kevin Reed+FollowFlorida red snapper’s 9-year journey revealedA red snapper caught off Florida stunned local anglers—not just for its size, but for the story it carried.

Out of over 147,000 tagged fish, only 10 have been found after 9+ years! It’s a rare reminder that every fish has its own adventure, and these stories help scientists understand our ocean better.

Jonathan Clarke+FollowSnook season in Southeast Florida: Handle with care!Snook are back in big numbers across Southeast Florida, but their survival depends on how we treat them—especially during the summer catch-and-release season (June 1 to August 31). These fish are local legends, prized for their fight and flavor, but even a quick photo out of the water can be deadly. If you’re fishing for snook this summer, keep them in the water, skip the hero shots, and give them time to recover before release. With more anglers and less habitat, every fish counts. How do you make sure your catch swims away strong? #News #SnookSeason #FloridaFishing1524Share
