I've caught small eels and they are a handful. If I saw that thing come up i'd be cutting the line fosure real quick. No way would i want it in a baot with me!!! |

my dad and I used to catch some freshwater ones in his hoop nets,and just those would gross me out when they would wrap around your arm while trying to throw them back overboard. I cant imagine pulling up one of these. Thats a beast

I have caught a 3 ft. eel that was about as big around as your arm. Thick and short.
It screwed up about 30 ft. of line on my reel. Caught at H.I. A-350. |

I caught a couple in my crawfish traps last year. What was left of them was disgusting!! The crawfish seem to think of them as a delicacy!

My little boy catches some in his crawfish nets he sets in our back ditch. I think some people call them congs? they are about 18" long,black with a flat head,and 2 little bitty feet on the underside around the neck area.

my favorite part: the four needed to work up a plan of action, so they drank beer while considering a strategy...

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!
