A small, silvery, fast-moving saltwater fish that is popular with sport fishers, known for its strong fight and difficult-to-catch behavior.
From 'bone' + 'fish,' named for the fish's many small thin bones that make it bony to eat despite being considered a trophy catch by anglers.
Bonefishes are the 'ghosts' of the flats—they're so fast and elusive that catching one is the ultimate test of a fly-fisher's skill, and they've inspired an entire sub-culture of saltwater fishing obsessives!
