BEWARE - Revenge of the Eels
A bizzare phenomena has been witnessed multiple times in Southeastern Massachusetts. Full grown American Eels have been launching suicide attacks on SUV's and other vehicles reaking of fish. Apparently as a result of years of torture and abuse by surf fisherman, the eels are striking back. Strangely, the eels are attacking the vehicles by injesting the vehicle's antenna. It is unknown at this point if this is a plot to alter radio transmissions, causing dreary-eyed fisherman to fall asleep at the wheel. God help us all if they start squirming up our mufflers.

I'm safe. Many moons ago I started a tradition on Block I called "Releasing of the eels". On my last night on island I would talk to those eels that remained and apologize for all I had done during the season - then set them free. Kind of like an "Eel Whisperer". Always brings me good karma.
You guys that throw your eels in the freezer at the end of the year - you're in trouble now.

removing the eel will bring bad luck,you must let it decay and fall off on its own............I think it is pretty dried up now

thankfully most of us no longer have hubcaps or there could be whole colonies of eels attacking our vehicles.

Yeah, luckily he is in a udl fishing with Sauerkraut tonight. I fished with him last night and had to take abuse for fishing with a plastic plug and tying his catch number for the night. Something about being a Godless heathen and Sh!t-for -brains.
I will say I am "hooked" on those Northbar palstic bottle darters, best plastic plug to come down the pike since the MagnaStrike Predator. |
Why even try.........

Ahhh, rh, I know this phenomenon. Luckily for me, people can't tell me and the other Bomba apart, so they usually grease Mikey's truck instead of mine.
The attacking eels sometimes travel with the sand genies, who will also pile pounds of sand on the hood of the attacking eel's car victim.

Can you commit harikari with an eel? Took Art boat plugging last pm. His plastic Mambo minnow outfished my precious wood about 12:1.  |

Probably coincidence, but a white PU with rod racks was reported in the vicinity of both attacks. |

Ya know, I just remembered I owe him one for the black bra he hung off my rear wiper back in April. Lets say you, me and Rappin Mikey do a little revenge planning. I know just how to sucker the perp in too. He'll never suspect anything.  |

Not me either, the other Mike. For the record, I'm a tremendous slouch. |
