Bonefish Folley’s Last Boat Ride

West End, Bahamas - Israel “Bonefish Folley” Rolle, one of The Bahamas most well known fishing legends of the 20th Century was laid to rest on Saturday, August 18, 2012 at St. Mary’s Anglican Church in West End, Grand Bahama Island.

But before Bonefish Folley was laid to rest that morning, his sons, Simon, Thomas and Carl Rolle came up with the idea to have a flotilla follow behind the boat carrying the casket of the legendary fisherman.
