I went fly fishing after work yesterday.  I had the Epic 888, Allen Kraken XLA 4, and a ROI Bonefish (long belly) 8wt line setup.  I ended up hooking up with Bonefish #4 (o'io).  It took a clouser minnow tied to resemble the baby goatfish swimming around (o'ama).  I had the bite guard on and it still took the fly.  That was probably due to the early evening low sunlight.  Whatever it was, I'll take it!  

I had my tagging kit, but this fish already had a tag on it too - 14068.  I scraped all the algae off so hopefully it'll have an easier time swimming.

Funny how when you are trying to catch one fish, you totally catch another.  I was fishing for barracuda...  I did go flyfishing again this morning.  I saw several large bones, but didn't draw interest from them - I bet it was the bite guard...
