“Highly allergic to the bites, yet determined to get the fish, he waded in long enough to land his prize, then succumbed to anaphylactic shock. ‘I nearly died,’ Ames said by phone from his home outside Helena, Mont. ‘I was able to get to a nurse, who gave me an epinephrine shot. They told me the adrenaline from fighting this huge fish saved my life.'” Dave Ames describes a life-threatening fire ant attack that occurred as he fought a big golden Dorado in northern Argentina.
