OMG! You've incurred the wrath of the Fish Gods and of flyfishermen everywhere by using a bonefish for bait. What's next; chunking baby tarpon for tuna bait? May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits! :grin
"photo" Indeed you've worked a bit for your troll....
Years and years ago (before I got my first job as charterboat mate in 1973...) small bonefish were used as rigged trolling baits. Like a lot of other things -killing fish just for photos, etc. everyone quit that sort of stuff. Have a nice day....
I'm an Inshore guy now a days.
Looks like a high speed mullet , Great for Pass Fishing on a falling tide.
Might want to clip his tail and slow him down a bit.

9-10/0, ringed, Mustad Hoodlum Ultrapoint 5x hooks seem to work well.
That way you won't lose the bait when your skipping him on top at 10 knots.
i would agree with him, slowtrolled they have to make killer wahoo and king baits
