This is my thought on eels. Eels live in freshwater and spawn in saltwater. Stripers spawn in freshwater and live in saltwater. Eels live where stripers spawn. I think female stripers consider eels mortal enemies because they are a threat to their eggs. That's why eels catch big bass. The big bass are all females. The smaller male bass don't care too much about eels but the big female bass aggressively attack eels because they are instictively going after their mortal enemy. Just my $.02.
