Today I got lucky. Had a bonefish breakup my tippet only to catch the same bonefish 20 minutes later. See the picture with the two flies in the same spot. I also landed a second one but, when I lifted it got unhooked and jumped back in the water. Took a pic of him in the water. All this using a Maxcatch 1wt Ultra Lite rod and a Piscifun Sword 2 reel. The fly is something I named Bonefish Crack. They love it so much they'll take second one while hooked!     Sent from my LG-H700 using Tapatalk

Yeah, that looks like great fun. Would you mind saying what line and leader setup you are using?
