Nice lizardfish, looks alot like the one I caught. Where did you get yours? Congrats on the snook, from what Ive seen thats a pretty big one!

the lizardfish was caught about 100 feet from where we caught the snook (yes it was huge iev personally never caught one but he looked like he gave a helluva fight, 80lb test 125 lb leader 7 ot hook) pier 60 in clearwater at clearwater beach florida
