Hope these pictures warm you up on a winter's day!

This Bahama bone was taken while wading on my own in early December '03. It was over 31" long measured against my rod. It's hard to get a full length picture with a good reference while holding the bone in one hand and the camera in the other.

...I really needed that!

Soon be time to "roll my own" in 3 weeks. I'd have to be really lucky to duplicate the sizes of your catches though. I can only hope the fish gods are smiling on me at Eleuthera.

Very nice! Those are great pictures, and amazing considering you were juggling the fish, camera and your rod at the same time!

Just got back from Bahamas myself, and I'm already thinking about a little weekend-getaway back there sometime in March.. :)

Thanks everyone. The bone in the top two pictures is the same fish and I was DIY fishing that day. The other two bones were taken with a guide (the guide took the pictures). The camera is a Canon A70 with the WP-DC-700 waterproof case to protect it while fishing, pretty much an idiot proof rig.
