  • Eel, American
Size: 
36"
After failing to catch flathead bait I decided to throw a ball of crawlers out to try for a sturgeon, and caught this monster 36" eel. I'm in shock, and feeling pretty lucky to have caught this beaut.

Just goes to show that you never know what will happen when you put in some hours and soak some crawlers :)
