IT'S A QUEST after the catch of a lifetime: a giant specimen of the most spooky fish in the whole wide-blue ocean, the bonefish, a fish that will mess with your eyesight, your nerves and your sanity. This video segment is from Charles Rangeley-Wilson's "Bonefish: A Fishing Odyssey" (Pal DVD, 54 minutes), an island-hopping adventure that takes viewers by plane, mail boat, taxi and bicycle through Bahamian culture and the excitement of flats fishing for bonefish.

EXCERPT: "It is like a drug. I think that's what it is. What is it about bonefish? You know every fisherman asks themselves, 'If I could give up everything, for one fish, in one place, what would it be?' And the more I go, the more I'm sure it would be a big bonefish in the Caribbean."
