Here is what COLD weather does to Snook in Florida :'(

holy hell.  are those guys smiling??

Wow.  Just wow.

That is a shame, but those guys sure will be eating good.

Looks like they are over their limit.

Yeah definitely over the limit

I've heard those stories and have seen pics of fishkill as well.  In my area I think the snook were a bit more fortunate, I've seen nothing to indicate fishkill here and I've been catching them pretty steady.

Those fellas were doing the ecosystem and fellow fishermen a favor by helping clean up the dead out of the inlet. At the time of that photo the F.W.C. had given the o.k. to pick up the dead fish and dispose of them in an environmentaly friendly manner. There was no malice or law breaking done. What really sucks is all the guys who were issued citations for picking up live fish before the F.W.C. asked for help.

Now that's what I call catching.  NICE!

Yeah definitely over the limit

First thing I thought too, fisherman need to follow the rules!

While that is legal, this is not I pulled this out of the florida times union in jacksonville FL.

Officer Darryl Thornhill received a call about two men pulling their boat out of the Tomoka River at the Florida 40 Bridge in Ormond Beach. The informant said the two men had more than 50 snook in their boat. Officers found the men in possession of 74 snook, 55 outside the legal slot limit, and a 7-foot gaff with which they harvested the fish. Some of the snook were freshly dead and still bleeding from the gaff punctures. The men admitted to harvesting the snook with the gaff and knowingly violating the size and bag limits and seasonal closure. The two were charged with harvesting snook during the closed season, harvesting snook by illegal method, harvesting snook in violation of the slot limit and exceeding the daily bag limit of snook. The unlawfully harvested fish were donated to the St. Augustine Alligator Farm.

FWC in their emergency order did allow the removal of dead fish of any kind including the snook.   In that order NO allowance was made for the possession to include keeping and consuming the snook, only the proper disposal to normal waste.
