For any of you guys that get the NJ Fisherman - check out the front page of the report section.

There's a guy there holidng up a 45-inch, 15-pound + eel ... that would certianly keep the small guys off the hook when fishing that as bait - actually it would probably eat them ... but imagine the striper that could eat that thing ...

Not sure where to get a photo of it, don't think it would scan all that well.

I believe it's an American eel, or at least looks like one, not sure what eel relative looks like an oversized American eel. Same face and mouth, no teeth.

Most likely a breeder, hope he returned it.
