. . . and I caught it from the shore - South Beach Miami!! Thankfully, the tourists were not in the water at the time.
80 lb test, 300lb wire leader, 12/0 circle hooks. 5lb Jack Cravalle head was the bait - which was kayaked out about 500 yards from the beach.
Took me 1.5 hours to get it to the beach with assistance from Capt Rich right at the end of the fight.

This one is 32" overall - a keeper
My largest Snook ever was 38" and about 16lbs. . . and was witnessed.
