When I was a kid, the Red Sox had their minor leagues and spring training in my home town. Ted Williams would be there in a golf cart, and he’d pull kids out of the stands and talk to them. He told me stories about bonefish and snook and hitting baseballs. I didn’t realize until I was older that he was one of the greatest Americans of all time – best baseball player, best fisherman, best pilot. Just incredible.
And a United States Marine….. OOH RAH!
Hey Duffer that might be handy if you see those poachers on the crash flat again !!!!!!!!!!
I don’t think he is practicing the proper bonefish holding technique.
I think you are right.
Technique approved in person by Dr Aaron Adams on three Hawaiian Bones he landed with me, in fact I cleared my picture taking protocol 5 years ago with Aaron after we weighed shark predatio (none) water temps (77-78) fish size and species and fight time. But what does he or a professional guide know?
