We caught a few of those about 10 years ago out of Grand Isle. We were fishing some rigs on the edge of the canyon in about 300-400ft of water. The ones we caught weren't as big, maybe 3 ft. One of my buddies did keep one to try and eat it. We could have filled a 5 gallon bucket with the slime it made while we were beating the crap out of it with the fish bat. Those eels are tough!
