Eel nightmare

Can't imagine this, but the story is legit. Gruesome pic, too.

Was watching one of those "caught on tape" shows with my son the other night. Some rocket surgeon diver was hand feeding a Moray eel and it latched onto his thumb and not the bait.

You see the diver struggling to free his thumb for about 15-30 seconds then you hear a "CLICK" and thumb is gone.

Didn't realize they have two sets of jaws, sort of like that creature in the movie Alien.

The Doctors transplanted one of his toes to replace the thumb.

Some say that there's a fine line between a Surfcaster and some idiot just standing on the beach.
