STUART, FLORIDA: Local angler Mack Jiminez had been working the creeks for nearly two hours when he heard the “definitely a snook” slap the top of the water. Between constant splashing and swirling caused by hundreds of mullet, Mack was able to pick up on a splashing sound he knew for certain was not a mullet this time.
“Y’all hear that!” he had exclaimed to his fishing buddies. “Definitely not a mullet, I know, I can tell for 100% sure.”
Though his companions showed less enthusiasm than Mack, they did nod their head and agree that it must’ve been something else.
*Hook Times has been unable to confirm the sound was indeed caused by some other species in the water, or possibly a rock being thrown by a child, or even a pelican taking a shit.
