Josh Mills was in a lodge in Argentina fishing for golden Dorado and then continues his trip. We spent four days there and then we went to a second lodge in a group called Suinda Lodge, and that was on the Parana River, which is the second largest river in all of South America. And it is so big that you think you're looking at the ocean, not really the ocean, but you look across and you see the other side and you think you're looking at a giant lake. But it is the biggest moving body of water I've ever seen in my life. The scale is so, so big. It only is number two to the Amazon in terms of size and area that it drains. And there we went hunting for the big, big Dorado and I caught a few in the 10 to 15 pound range, but I was lucky to be on the boat. We were on these big Carolina skiffs zooming around this river system and swinging giant flies in front of big rock piles. And my buddy ended up catching one that was 30 pds. That was just we were all speechless after it came on board. But we had just fabulous guides and fabulous host lodges were full on. Amazing and the food and the camaraderie and everything like that. It was a once in a lifetime trip that I was very lucky to be a part of. For any of our listeners, any English spoken down there? Yeah, yeah. I mean, I speak very remedial Spanish, but I think everybody was very helpful. And ability to get along in that country is not a problem. Speaker1: Because wow, what a fish is universally understood.
