pros and cons of various eel rigging methods might have made a good discussion...I got quite a bit out of Dave Anderson's eel rigging discussion last year...but still like a single hook |
Maybe you can enlighten me---how is landing a 34" fish in a couple of minutes, instead of having to wear it down over 10 minutes on light gear in the Canal, being "rough on the smaller fish"?
