Default bonefish fly design challenge

On a recent trip to the Bahamas, I'm convinced I saw, at close range,
a world record bonefish: a panic stricken double digit bonefish swam
past me no more than 3 feet away, while being chased by another fish
that looked twice as big. At first I assumed it (the chaser) must
have been a big barracuda. But that fish came within 5 feet, saw me and
spooked. I got a good look at it in knee deep water. It was definately
a bonefish, and it looked twice the size the itty bitty 10-12 pounder.


At Christmas Island there are fish called "milk fish" that look almost
exactly like bonefish (you really cannot tell the difference in the
water), but they get much bigger. They're impossible to catch.
