Artist Statement:

          The bonefish & permit, elusive and majestic creatures, are sought after by the most skilled sports fishermen.  Tracking these creatures in the tropical mangrove flats of Abaco Island has been a life long pursuit.  Known for their strength and challenging capture, these fish are an important part of the natural economy of the Bahamas.  Catching and releasing these fish allows the population to maintain itself so that we may continue to enjoy these remarkable creatures.
