Scouting for Snook

My friend and I went fishing for a couple hours this afternoon and the bite was on. We were working top water plugs and got several nice snook. We saw a big swirl near the boat and I pitched my zara spook in front of the disturbance and gave it a twitch. The Giant snook inhaled the lure and immediately showed us his humongous size as it shook his head out of the water. He left me shaking when he leaped again and threw the hook. A minute later I hooked a much smaller fish shown below. This fish was not so lucky and got blackened on his way to the dinner table.
