SavannahMan landed the heaviest bonefish (6¾lb)
BoneAlone, Denis & Kevin tied for the most bones in one day (6) but Kevin's were heavier.
SavannahMan caught the most bones in the first two weeks (20)
Denis caught the most bones in the last two weeks (19)
Grand total: 152 bonefish, including 31 of 3lb or over, all caught on fly, and once again nobody blanked!

and of little or no importance...

BfG caught the heaviest non-bone on fly (a 5lb trigger fish which bit a piece out of his finger!)
Pete Battley waded the closest to a bull shark and filmed it without being eaten (see it on You-Tube )
Geoff consumed the most Long Island Iced Tea (maintaining his record set in 2005)
