European Ryder Cup captain Darren Clarke hooked one of the big fishes in his angling career off the coast of Florida.

As you can see in Clarke’s tweet below, Clarke’s bonefish weighed in at 38 lbs.

Bonefish are one of Florida’s premier game fish and are known as “grey ghosts of the flats” because they are stealthy, fast-swimming fish that are exciting and challenging to catch. South Florida is one of the few places in the United States where anglers have the unique opportunity to fish for bonefish and the shallow saltwater flats of the Florida Keys and Biscayne Bay are considered a world-class destination for catching large, trophy-sized bonefish.

Bonefish mature at three to four years of age (17-18 inches total length), may live longer than 23 years, and grow to be three feet long and 15 pounds. Bonefish can be caught year-round in the Keys, but peak bonefish season is generally March through October.

Clarke returns to terra firma at next week’s Valspar Championship at Tampa Bay on Florida’s west coast.
