It’s not often that they catch big Snook from the beach but it’s not unheard of. Wesley Brough ( was fishing for Roosterfish from the beach in Cabo.

Sometimes it ends with walking away empty-handed and other times you get that one last fish as a nice stamp on a successful day. Telling ourselves ‘just one more’ and then we take five more casts in hopes of feeling something tug on the line. Never have I caught a snook even close in size to this new world record fish caught in Cabo.Ĭabo fishing guide Wesley Brough told himself he was going to take one last cast. Sunrise fishing off the beach, in the mangroves, canals, night fishing, live bait, artificials, fly fishing, we’d do it all. I was born and raised in Southwest Florida where snook fishing is a year-round activity. I have probably caught more snook in my lifetime than any other species of fish.

On what was set to be his last cast of the trip, Wesley Brough reeled in a 51 pound, 4.8oz Pacific white snook while he was fishing for roosterfish.

A Cabo san Lucas fishing guide who specializes in fishing from the beach just broke a 20-year-old snook fishing world record.
