Some other names for Common Snook are Linesider, Robalo, Thin Snook, and many others. There are also other types of snook such as Fat Snook, Tarpon Snook, and Swordspine Snook. The Common Snook can reach up to 48 inches and weigh up to 50 pounds. Common Snook belongs to the Kingdom Animalia and the scientific name is Centropomus undecimalus.
