talking about eels and lobster pots ... a buddy and I had about 50 traps in high school ... one day we were out catching flounder early in the season prior to checking the traps and we caught a good size eel on a sandworm ...
... we couldn't get the hook out of its mouth, so we tried to cut it out ... after the head was about 3/4 of the way cut off, the hook fell out of the eel's mouth, it was pretty beat up ... so we added the eel to the bait bag with some frozen mackerel and whatever we had at the time ...
... we used those zinc or whatever things that dissolved in the saltwater after three days, which helped hide our bouys ... as poaching was pretty heavy around where I grew up ... three or four days later, when we picked up that stringer of pots ... the eel was still alive and kicking like crazy ...
... so we let it go, it swam off with its head barely attached but it swam strong ... it was crazy ...
