Eels

[beamie]

About 2 weeks ago I was heading down the North River late in the afternoon close to low tide and witnessed an epic battle between a Comorant and an eel that looked to be about a 20" maybe a bit less that 1" dia. Rolling in the water close to the bank. Not sure who won but I am putting my money on the eel with the strength they have....he probaby chocked the Comarant like an anaconda.

Back in the 90s my partner and I bought some eels in an Asian grocery market. They were 2' long and 2 to 3" in diameter. We fished them at High Head and Peaked Hill Bar one night and CRUSHED big fish.

3" thick might be on the untoughable side for me. thats wrap around your arm and dont let go big.

Jay, we just wanted to see if they would work. Only used them that big once but they were THE BOMB! Of course, that was in the pre-seal days. Now, you'd probably only catch seals.
