I dunno, maybe you should ask Buddy Vanderhoop and the rest of the charter guys who troll those 36" "radiator hose" tube rigs off Squibnocket how big an eel is "too big"<img src="/Images/Happy_Face.gif"> For the surf, I'd agree, one that your rod can't cast and present properly is too big. 15" to 18" is ideal for a conventional rod. If your rod can cast it, a bass will eat it. The big problem is throwing those anacondas.
