We can choose the spot correct. Because certain techinques are better at certain spots. That said.

I would fish an eel real slow. I don't know a better way to catch a cow

Probably a stun gun and ninja costume.

That way when McKenna woke up, he wouldn't know what hit him or what happened to the fish

Why even try.........

If they were around , i would use a big trebble to simple snag a pogie and let it struggle around out there. If there were no sign of the bait fish , I would use the eel....rigged not live.

I can work the rigged eel as well as a live one. I can cast it further to cover more area , and I have two hooks when that bass comes near it.
