The Big Hole Trout blog has had a series of bonefish stories from Andros. This post is about a 15 pounder that didn’t quite make it to the boat.
Imagine a bonefish as big as this burger.
The BigholeTrout blog is put out by Great Divide Outfitters.

Deneki gives an update, Black Fly Reports Pig
Deneki Outdoors… see, they are just wired… in with the whole “internet revolution” or whatever. I saw their latest report from Andros South pop up and wanted to send it on to all you non-Twitterati.
The other item that caught my eye from Twitter today was from Black Fly, a lodge in Abaco. The sweet tweet reported a THIRTY INCH bonefish caught by some lucky SOB named David.
The Bonefish Adventure website has a length to weight estimation table that puts a 30 inch fish at fifteen pounds. Nice.

I just swam in from Miami and boy is my tail tired
How long is your commute? I once had to drive 100 miles, but only had to do it twice a month. Mr. Bonefish, it turns out, can put in some serious miles.
Florida has a tagging program thanks to the Bonefish and Tarpon Trust and the Florida Keys Fishing Guides Association. One of those tagged fish was caught and tagged near Key Biscane. From there it crossed the Gulf Stream (something researchers didn’t know they did) and was caught off Andros, about 186 miles away. This more than doubled the longest known movement by a bonefish. This has all sorts of implications… it means Florida bonefish may be intermingling, and maybe interbreeding, with Bahamian bonefish.
That’s a long commute, Mr. Bonefish
Here is the news from Science Daily.

Be your own bonefish boss – Hanks Place
You too can own a bonefish lodge or something that approximates a lodge at any rate. Franks Place on Andros is up for sale. If you want to go in as partners, I have about $500-600 I can spare, all you’d need to come up with is the other $748,500. Wadyasay? Deal?
Restaurant, Bar, a few flats-ish boats, 4 guest rooms and 900 whole square feet of living space for us, the owners (I call the top bunk).
OK, let’s make it happen!
