Nope, zipped up tighter than a drum.. I thought of that, and was stewing on this for a while... and debated putting this up here because of the slight possibility of that, however I have never had an eel escape from that... just people being an ass.... besides the two left had been fished, and cycled out for fresher ones, they werent too 'lively'..
It's tough to tell because a few other guys had put gear down near mine at least twice, and my guy instinct said one of them stopped near my stuff when he walked by... However I was quietly landing another fish... (no light stealth mode
) when the kept walking I shined my light to make sure my rod/eelbag was still there and kept fishing.....
