It would hurt me because the way I like to fish and the places I have adapted to are eel spots. A lot of the best spots are eel spots.
I never bought into the notion that those who prefer eels are less skillful anglers or that eel fising is "cheating." Eel fishing is as legitimate a style of fishing as any other.
Not that most eel anglers give a rats a__ what anybody thinks. Eel fishermen are out to catch the biggest fish possible not make some kind of statement about their versatilty or skill as angler.
Ya ever bite the head of a live eel to stun it when wading because you had nothing to whack it on?
