Fat Snook inhabit estuaries, lagoons, and coastal rivers of Central and South America. Stocky with a deeper body than other snook, they ambush shrimp and small fish near mangroves. Known for sudden strikes and strong runs, they’re popular light-tackle sportfish. Seasonal migrations bring them close to shorelines.
