The bigger the better for most of the fishing I do. There are a few instances where I do like eels on the smaller side. If I am fishing an estuary or small creek on the southside of the cape, the bass to tend to prefer the smaller eels on the dump. I have experimented and I will catch big and school sized bass on smaller eels and the larger eels will go barely molested.

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan
