American Eel
I tried looking for a RI state record catch on this species and found nada... conger eel yes but this wasn't a conger... it was about a foot longer then 3' thick as a 32oz gatorade bottle and strong as a bull.. this thing pulled drag... it was battle scared but had the puppy eye thing going on... I couldn't even guess at the weight as it was all over the place.. we released it so it could add to the one more to make or break it to the spawning grounds...
but just out of curiosity does anyone know what the record is for this species?
