  Great fish, sounds like a great day. How heavy a shock leader? Got my best beat by a foot.

  35lb shock. Had just changed out from 25lb after a couple of fish frayed it. Glad I did Was still pretty worried it was going to chew through. Stayed with the 35 the rest of the trip and hit a 38 inch the next morning.

  Do you rig it up like you would for tarpon, just 8-12" of heavy leader between the tippet and fly? Never gone for those big snook before. Incredible catch!

  Thanks. Back here in Iowa and for once, thankful to not be in Florida right now. Fishing for muskies and tying to get ready for Great Lakes steelhead season. The fly was a simple olive over white pilchard fly. About 3 1/2 inches, 1/0 hook, using a material called flash n slinky. I usually tie them with pretty big eyes.
