I should have also mentioned that instead of using a rag, I sometimes use a nylon "scrub pad." It's about a flat piece of nylon or plastic material and is about 6" x 6" and is un-soaped, that gives you a good purchase on the eel, but it doesn't get slimy with eel goo and water so you can really get a good hold of the critter.

	Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.
