My wife's sister (Martha) recently got married in the US Virgin Islands a couple of weeks ago and I was able to go flyfishing for bonefish and shark fishing. Amazingly enough I caught a fairly large bonefish somewhere in the 6.5 to 8 lb. range on fly, all catch & release. Super fun, little suckers fight pretty hard you can see it bending my rod all the way down into the water even though I am holding it up in the video. Took a good 5 or 6 minutes to reel in. I am used to flyfishing for trout on mountain streams, but this amazing as well.
Shot video on the Canon G9 in the Canon waterproof housing. Cannot go on enough about that thing. The stills in the video are from the Canon 1 Ds Mk2 with 50 mm 1.8 lens, no water housing, just keeping it dry and using the force.
Anyway we fished the morning for bonefish and the middle of the day for sharks, bonefish cruise for the deep when the shallows warm up. Sharks were all black tip reef sharks alot of fun as well, mean little suckers, catch and release as well. Pics are of Dave (will add last name later).
Check out Bite Me Charters in St. Thomas USVI. Capt. Bill Limpert is super cool and he put us
on the fish.
Wedding was fun, added a couple of pics of Baby Clair in islands at the end of the vid, she loved it. I am still figuring out Imovie, promise will get better. May make it shorter when I have time.
