Re: How do you hook a snapper
I actually go through the nostril/eye socket area as not to hurt them much...and wait for that "hit" and net from there ... Or take the deadun band the gills and butterfly that honey...

Re: How do you hook a snapper
Depends if it's live or dead. If live through the nostrils is good. If you do not have an air pump do not try to keep them in water. They will die with tier mouths open gasping for oxygen. This will cause the bait to spin in circles. Undesirable.... What il do is take the snapper and throw him in to my bucket with no water decently hard. This will stun the fish and they die with the mouths closed. Hook the dead snapper the same way you would use a killie. Start under the lips and go through the top of the head hooking his mouth closed.

Re: How do you hook a snapper
sea level is definitely correct about having a mouth closed dead snapper
Being better than mouth open The bait spins less. The spin will screw your whole rig up as the leader become all twisted Also - I find shorter leaders better than too long It reduces spin with the large bait
