Day four. Another lousy day in bonefish paradise. In my younger days, I used a reel with no drag whatsoever. I have since discovered the pleasure of drinking beer while playing a fish. That is the only reason for a drag while bonefishing, in my opinion.

Day four. After a forceful run, I finally landed this bonefish, a rare "two-hander" among the many smaller fish we found this time around. I am also quite pleased with my casual relaxed pose.

Day four. After a forceful run by a strong bone, I manage to get most the flyline back on the reel. The oversized tail hints to the spectacular speed and agility of the bonefish.
