Fishing on the Arroyo Colorado for saltwater fish

OUTDOORS

I saw the line move out from where it landed on the bank. I set the hook and had a beautiful snook explode into the air. He was extremely acrobatic and powerful. Since I was fishing alone, I had to net the fish myself. After several tries, I got him into the landing net. On the measure board, he was 24 1/4 inches. The snook limit in Texas is one fish between 24 to 28 inches. So, I had a legal keeper. It was my first snook to catch in Texas.

Snook are very tropical, so most of them swim in the warm waters of the Rio Grande Valley.
