Don't they put up a pretty good fight lbs 4 lbs?

Yes. They fight very fast. Compared to something familiar, a redfish fights like a tank, and a bonefish fights like a Ferrari.

Depending on size, they can take you into your backing 2-3x. They also don't have a choice but to run horizontally because of how skinny the flats are. Even smaller fish can take you into your backing once. The tough thing with bones is you're fishing them with pretty light tippet because they're so spooky, so you can't stop them when they run or it's over.

eta: and thanks! A couple of these photos were taken by my buddy on the trip with me. He's talented behind the lens as well.
