That's nasty, hope you killed it!!!

Lampreys and hagfish are primitive fish without jaws, eels are jawed fishes. American eels as shown in that pic with Bdub are anadramous meaning they live in freshwater but spawn at sea.

just think one of them would get in your waders lol.

for the record that is not me that is a friend lol

Shoot it and, contact Mathgeek! I'm pretty sure that dude knows more about aquatic life than any two people I know. There's a strong possibility that, not only has he done a study on it but, maybe eaten it! LOL! (Kidding on the last part)

First and foremost, SHOOT IT!
