We/they DON'T have to wait because nobody has a clue?Again this is what you say.So by your rational its fish eels till someone else says you can't and by then its to late.

Many species have been brought to the brink or full extinction with that attitude.

Pro-activism is what kept many species from the brink,why should it be any differant with the eel.

"Bunkerman".Yup they're doing real good right about now.You're lit.

I think if you take a look at the state of maine you may get an ansewr, Glass eels which are imature are being sold illegaly at the rate of 100s of thousands a pounds, so There are certainly huge numbers of eels, what they dont know anything about is there migration patterns and breeding activity etc...

By the way, I am not a drug addict of any kind so I am not lit.

And yes, my attitude is to fish eels until the scientists tell me I cant, why would I not? Its not my job to make the determination that there are no eels left??

Bunker on the other hand is a great story! they are back in huge numbers!!!
