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.

No boat, back in the suds.

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.
