This morning we hooked a beautiful deep sea Dorado of around 20 kilos. After a great fight Roderick pulled it in next to the boat. Before I could hook it with the gaff, he gave one last kick and broke the line. Time to put a heavier line on. He took away our most successful lure, the Rapala Red Head. The one that got away was always the biggest!!
