Few years back I had a good laugh when I met a guy fishing a headless eel, threaded like a worm (S shape with tail hanging down) onto a 7/0 hook, attached to a black nylon leader, using a standup tuna rod and ancient penn beachmaster with 50 lb dacron, from shore.
Didn't laugh as hard the next night when I met him again, using the same setup at "my spot", with a #50lb bass alive on a stringer, "in case I catch a better one".
There is a lesson in there somewhere.
