Good question. I imagine it was probably the local Indians that had first hand knowledge of everything. I was reading somewhere recently that the american eel was so commonplace 150+ years ago that not only was it a major staple of food but it was also used in the traps and nets of the day. I wonder where I saw that and I wish I was able to give it back verbatim...
Now I have also caught bass before with eels in them (no hooks), I guess anyone seeing what they ate would know that too...
