The best part of this question, I thought, was the question which lay, unasked, herein. That being, of course: What is a snook? So I looked. And now I know. And what I know is this: To hook a snook does not take much talent. Large or small, one can hook em all. To reel em in's another matter entirely. My previous spouse was a proud member of the Fish Police. Don't ask. He never caught much but he did write more than somewhat silly, less than somewhat heroic poems about the catches of others. A man he could have immortalized among his fishing-immortals would have been the young Eric Weiss of Boca Raton, FLA. Unexpectedly, he may have caught himself not just the elusive snook but one that arrived w/ a world record attached. "It just popped up," said Weiss, about the forty eight inch long, approximate forty four pounder that he relieved of its freedom in the briny depths in 2005. He thereby claims the title. However, and depending on your way of thinking, perhaps unfortunately, this Houdini of the Aqua-Hunt might have been displaced, and by a considerable amount. He can only keep his title because the larger hooked snook was caught not only in 2007 but ".....out of season and WAAAAY over the slot limit." Although not in a particularly lovely state: “She obviously had spawned out recently, because her big old belly was flabby and floppy." Were I to tell you that this big mama snook was sixty four inches long and most likely weighed a bit over fifty pounds, it would be only because I learned of Steve Gastright's out of season, thereby unrecordable record-breaking catch via Capt. Tony on the usaonthefly.com message board. It is a nice long piece, and believable, so I think there you have your record snook. Unofficially. Then again, even before any of this a problem arises. A snook is not a singular thing. Snook, also called Snoek, is a common name for a small, whole mess of species of different fish. Strangely enough, at least according to Wikipedia [and I will presume them here correct], these even cross the barriers of different orders. Eels are sometimes referred to as snook. So are perchlike fish, pikes, and the marvellous mudminnow. So there is some ambiguity about which world record you might want. On the other hand, it seems very probable that the one for which you seek is the one I found. People who fish [and probably those who police them] seem most interested in the snook that lives around Florida. I hate to say it, though, there is at least one in South America that is larger. Consistently, as a species. That's just its normal size. But if I dig into that can o'worms we will be here all night, so I will leave you to do your own research in case I have tossed my bait into the wrong pond and come up empty. But I don't think so.

piscis = a fish pisces = fishes

The Florida Gar eats shrimp, crayfish, and other fish

Freshwater fishes drink very little water and take in little water with their food. Marine fishes must conserve water, and therefore their kidneys excrete little water. To maintain their water balance, marine fishes drink large quantities of seawater, retaining most of the water and excreting the salt.

Different species have different needs from their vision and may well see (Infra red/Ultraviolet etc?) and other totally different light frequencies from humans. They may also see some colours vividly and other colours as shadows, so their vision works differently from ours because different things are important to them. No doubt they will see whatever colours they need to see for their survival in their natural habitat.

there sure are

SHARKS AND RAYS HAVE CARTILAGE SKELETONS,WHICH MEANS THEY ARE VERY FLEXIBLE. I THINK.(peytonallentranum)

well, it depends on what u think, i quess both have a nice day :)

Anything you want it to man!!

Only a tiny fraction of the planet's abundant water is available to us as freshwater. About 97.4% by volume is found in the oceans and is too salty for drinking, irrigation, or industry (except as a coolant).

Most of the remaining 2.6% water is freshwater and locked up in ice layers or glaciers or it's too deep underground to be reached or too salty to be used.

Thus, only about 0.014% of the earth's total volume of water is easily available to us as soil moisture, usable groundwater, water vapor, and lakes and streams.

They can weigh as much as 20 pounds and more.

Nothing, if you want to be humane. Goldfish take at least 10 gallons each fish because of how much waste they produce. Most fish are the same.

but there is one fish a betta i had mine in a 1 gallon tank for 3 years and its been fine the only thing is that you have to clean it out every 3 weeks.

in the slow flowing waters of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers

Sawfish are Critically Endangered according to the IUCN. Sawfish are illegally hunted for their rostrum, liver oil, and fins. Additionally, they are accidentally fished up in nets. Besides sawfish, many other species are being threatened due to fishing nets. That is why it is best to by line-caught fish.

i think its the heart beat

That depends on where the wetlands are located. If they are coastal wetlands, which are accessible to the sea, they will have a marine or estuarine enviroment. If they are further inland, where they are inaccessible to the sea, they will have a fresh water environment.

in short, no, try leeches.

none

First you need a good quality rod and reel spooled with a tough, abrasive resistant line. Use small sunfish for bait, be sure to get enough weight to take the bait to the bottom. Place the hook about a foot below the weight.

About 12-14 inches
