Fins Reach Out Across the Sea !!!

















It appears that the Land Down Under may have a snooky relative in the Barramundi, although the latter seems to have a few Corvina/ Croaker features mixed in. The Barra's the one on the beach, while Florida's common snook appears in a nightime shot of Kid Snook, as well as with Captain Mike Smith displaying a tannin-colored beauty from the Ding in Sanibel.

I see some vague analogy potentials that are unrealized. Hordes of American black bass anglers are surging to South American jungle creeks for peacock bass, though the latter are more properly Cichlids. Yet the Barramundi is not given a smidgeon of attention by traveling snook anglers. Is Australia too far? Is this species-which grows to jumbo sizes- still relatively unknown?
