My first time fishing with eels no one told me how to handle them. Me and a buddy went to the end of Tashmoo jetty with a bucket'o'eels and proceeded to try and grab the slimy eels with our hands on the rocks with no rag, then put a hook thru their faces.
It turned into an all out laugh fest, after mucho numerous 4 handed grabbing attempts we laughed ourselves silly til we nearly pee'd our pants. After regaining our composure we figured out to take them off the jetty and put some dry beach sand on them for grip...Duuuhhhh! Till this day I still chuckle a little every time I reach for one of those slimy little suckers.
