Bloody awesome trip by the looks!
Marvelous flats too.
Envious of the trigger Mick. A week at Cocos didn't get me one.
Too cool!

I'd always thought the crab flies were for bones at least in the Bahamas.

Had a large bone take a crab fly presented to a trigger fish, on about the third short strip absolutely smashed, pulled at the surgeon knot................
Fished large squimp flies on the last day and caught larger bones.
