Doesn't really say if the eel was on its way in or..coming out

Thinking about it, he must have pushed it in/up and its front finns have splayed out....acting like wall toggle.

Wtf..............

So.. watched a doco on extreme fishing.. and was surprised that there was some "dangerous fish" in NZ's waterways. Turns out it was the eel. And nasty.. very very nasty. They will kill a sheep by going in through any oriface that they can find and pulling out internal organs (they're after things like livers and kidneys etc).

So, yeah.. its:

Hauled a 2 plus meter eel out of a local river once, dropped concrete blocks on its head, stabbed it through the neck, wound it into a very big plastic pail and kept it out of water for over 24 hours.
Threw it off the bridge back into the river the next day.
Watched it float away and when it had gone about 60 meters it straightened out and swam away.
This eel had previously broken 60 lb breaking strain nylon, then double and then triple braided 60 lb nylon on successive weekends.
Dragged it up a near vertical bank after 15 minutes of continuous fighting on the end of our shark hooked line , it took three 14 yr old's to get it out of the water. Must have been an interesting sight for anyone else, Three prancing young fella's periodically brandishing knives and spears falling on this writhing inner tube and then leaping away again.
Reckon that eel is still there in the River behind Spargo brothers yards.

Somewhere in South America (I think) there is a small fish that will swim up your penis if you happen to be standing in the water up to knob depth. Sometimes it pays to have a small one I guess.

Oh, and at least the eel is self lubricating. Better than a vegemite jar anyway.

At 2 meters long that fish was probably close to 100 years old.

People like you need shooting with a ball of your own shit

I used to work in a horsepiddle. ED nurses had the best stories. Most of them went "I was cleaning the window's naked and I fell off and landed on a .....".

Idiocy.

I used to love catching eels but have stopped now because, even though I'm not that old, I've noticed a real drop in numbers.

This story makes me sad as you could have killed it humanly by smashing it on the tail and then had a real good feed.

It's real stink to hunt/fish for shit and then not kill it cleanly and eat it.

First red in a coons age, cheers for that. By the way are you God? or his son?
Just wondering.

Have fished for and caught many eels as a young fella, not many since, this one didn't want to die,I guess we didn't really want to kill it,yes we knew how, even at 14 yrs old.
Your lecture is not appreciated. I fish and I always put back the first one I catch no matter it's size or whether it's a trout or a schnapper.
I hunt and I often don't shoot the first animal I see, I've grown older with my country and I think I've learned alot over the intervening 35 plus years.
You are right, numbers of good edible eels are dwindling fast, at 2 meters ( no shit Sherlock) it was an old eel, most likely that's why even then, at just 14 we made no serious attempt to kill it and were all actually quite glad to see it stir and swim away.
Now I've retold the story I am pleasantly surprised to feel your anger at the "almost" waste but even better, I am able to say without a doubt I'd simply let a grandaddy like him go straight away if it ever happened again.
PS: love smoked eel, or better still, breakfast eel, caught by hand in a small fast flowing stream, two guys, a big rock, both find a hole and put their hand in it, the lucky one pulls the biting ( at normal size, about .09 to a meter, they have teeth like sand paper and don't really hurt too much) eel out of his hole and throws him on the bank.
Tail smacked real hard, gutted and hung on the barbed wire fence till morning, when the embers are nice and hot, yummmmm.
