Jeez, FWW, I dunno -

I keep my live eels (which Mrs Crafty isn't exactly nuts about) in a large cooler with an air pump on our brick patio and a few years back I had a couple of escapees.

One of 'em ended up under the wrought iron table where my wife sits to read and - yup, you guessed it - she found it by putting her bare foot on it. I'll bet you could hear the shreiking in Jamestown.

I haven't seen that kind of reaction outta the old girl since I pulled a 4 foot conger out of a bag in the kitchen to show her what I'd caught at the Castle Hill Light.

	"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
