Bonefish brain teaser

[Matt Flynn]

Real story. My father was bonefishing in Florida a few years ago out of a lodge. The day trips are guided. Each pair of fishermen go with a guide, who stands behind them on a 3 foot platform poling the boat and spotting bonefish. Bonefish are nearly white, and the flats they frequent are white sand. It is very hard to see one directly. So, the guides look for shadows cast by the fish, then call out the locations for you to cast to. If you catch five bonefish, you've had an excellent day.

One day it was overcast and gray. Of the 13 guides, not one saw a bonefish. Only one fisherman caught any. He caught eight, all of which he spotted himself.

What was his profession?

I have no idea what it's supposed to mean. You just started psoting it everywhere with no explanation. And I'm not really sure why you think I'm aggressive, or if i am what your problem seems to be with it? i asked a question. how hard is it to answer?

[Botch Gallegos]

Its OOT resident giraffe he can appear anywhere. No problem with your aggression. You couldnt take me in a fight anyway im a martial arts expert and a texas ranger

[Botch Gallegos]

He was another fish that eats bonefish

[jakethebake]

I'm guessing this is another Dead gimmick account. I can't imagine who else could be this annoying.

[jakethebake]

Some kind of profession that requires him to either detect movement or see white objects against a white surface. I have no idea what is was though.

[NutzyClutz]

I have a bunch of guess, but will narrow it to two.
Polarized sunglass salesman.
Seiner (caught babies)

[M2d]

baseball player?
specifically, left fielder for the red sox?

[Matt Flynn]

He was not a pro fisherman, a bonefish guide, a sunglasses salesman or any of that. His profession was uniquely suited for spotting bonefish. Not a golf cameraman, but that's the best guess so far.

[gumpzilla]

I'll take a swing:

A painter or paint salesman, somebody who is likely skilled at distinguishing different shades of white.

[Jingleheimer]

Game Warden/Wildlife expert

He colored the fish, "spotting" them, and could thus easily see them.

[M2d]

professional card cheater. he daubed the fish he caught the day before and re-caught them on the cloudy day.

[offTopic]

Army (or some branch of the military) sniper

[mmbt0ne]

He designs camouflage clothing.

I only have one gimmick account and you know who he is. You can ask a moderator to check the IPs and they can prove that its not me.

Matt Flynn,

I think we need a hint.

As an aside, I tried to cheat and googled for 'bonefish riddle' and found nothing... so if this has a dumb answer you will owe me 22 minutes of my life back.

Cheers

He worked in tissue recycling. It was his job to remove the unused tissues to prevent wasting energy.

That's what Chuck's thinking.

[Matt Flynn]

ok here's a hint:

it's not an internet puzzle. real event. the fisherman involved had a profession that made him particularly good at spotting shadows - in fact much better than the guides who did it for a living.

[Senor Cardgage]

Ghostbuster.

[-Skeme-]

Was he a hunter of some sort?

[Soul Daddy]

Artist?

[wayabvpar]

Bird watcher.

[kipin]

CIA map analyzer.

[MrWookie47]

Superman. With his xray vision, he'll have no problem seeing the bonefish bones.

[TheIrishThug]

piolt, he sees shadows everytime he flies

This thread has turned into randomness, so I'll jump on and contribute.

These are my top ten guesses

1) Ice cream sales man
2) Radio Dispatch for 911
3) OB/Gyn.
4) Cost Accountant
5) Lotion Boy
6) Middle Manager
7) Pitching Coach
8) C++ Programmer
9) Mortician
10)A/C Repairman

Do I win?

[felson]

I think radiologist is the best guess so far. Some other possibilities:

Surveyor. CIA image (or satellite image) analyst (probably too obscure). Forensics expert. Cinematographer.

[M2d]

after hours janitor (he's used to seeing smudges and stains when the building's dark. not sure how a janitor affords a guided bonefishing trip, though).

[chaas4747]

Prostitute. She is good a locating the bone.

[jakethebake]

gemologist?>

[Shajen]

Underwear inspector, specifically, underwear inspector #38

This is a very good guess.

[DMBFan23]

hockey player, announcer, or cameraman

[Matt Flynn]

He was a radiologist. They spend all day looking for slight shadows and nuances of gray.

Boris wins.

[Boris]

now that i think about you probably told me the answer to this question. can't remeber for sure.

[Matt Flynn]

i do but wanted to give you the warms and fuzzies. ;-)

[Boris]

awwww Matt, you give warm and fuzzies every time I think of you. /images/graemlins/heart.gif

[nbake]

He is definitely a jizz mopper. He has to spot any whiteness whatsoever day in and day out.

[SL__72]

My guess is he does lighting in movies or on TV, I don't know what that job is called though...

Or maybe he was a lifeguard?
