my son shoots dorado !
last weekend i took my 11 y/o son aidan down to mexico on a tuna trip
the night before we left i visited mori who equipped me with a a 9/32 shaft and spectra pencil point break away tip as well as a new dive knife which i put at his bedside like a Christmas present the idea being for me to inspire him to get up the courage to shoot a big fish on the bank with a 57 inch wong magnum hybrid well when the time came he did just that check out the 15 plus foot headshot he makes into a 9 lb dorado (at 5:35 on the vid) after he stones his first one watch it in hi res and you can see all the dorado just out of range that he passes on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8niRW3GUy8 the rest of the report is here http://www.spearboard.com/showthread.php?t=77022 as bahahunter says you measure life not by the breaths you take but buy the moments that take your breath away

Re: my son shoots dorado !
That's awesome! I just showed the vid and pics to my 3 year old son Aidan who's favorite fish is dorado. He thought it was pretty cool! I can't wait till he's big enough to get out there himself.

Joe that is fantastic.
I just showed Jen the video and she was jealous. He is going to be a dynamo in no time.
