Reel of the Week: Teen’s Dream of Landing a Hawaiian Bonefish

A note from Capt. Chris Wright

“Luke, only 13 years old, came to Hawaii with a dream of catching a big Hawaiian bonefish on the fly rod. A dream that is not too far-fetched in the winter months in Hawaii. But to capture it all on video, WOW!! What a privilege to witness such an experienced and passionate fly fisherman at such a young age. Luke’s definitely on his way to a lifetime of incredible fishing adventures for sure.”

“My favorite part of this hook up video is Luke’s wide open mouth of disbelief and his dad laughing with excitement in the background. I’ll be guiding for the rest of my life, ain’t no other feeling that makes me happier than to witness a moment like this. Damn I love fishing!!”

I’m originally from Tabernash, Colorado, and my passion for fishing started early, influenced by my grandfather, who managed Nelson’s Fly Shop. As soon as I got my driver’s license, I began guiding, and now I’m in my seventh year of doing so. I am a Account Manager at Flylords. I work with various brands in the industry to grow their digital marketing presence and run campaigns to increase their product and brand visibility. One thing I love about Flylords is the passion that goes into our work; everyone is deeply involved in what we strive to create. My favorite types of fishing are casting dry flies from a drift boat and stalking flats species from a skiff!
