An eeler's (almost) lament

[Rockfish9]

very cute story, I can relate, many years ago, I kept a tank in the basement to house the extra eels I trapped, less the pilferers scoff them from my keeper kept under the dock, my son, was about 8 at the time, loved to check in on the serpants... imagine my surprise when i went down to clean the tank and discovered a rotting.. stinking mess... JR. had inadvertantly unplugged the filter and air supply... leaving the old man with a stinking rotting mess that had to be carried up the stairs one stinking 5 gallon bucket at a time and burried in the back yard...upon reflection.. maybe thati s why i started building plugs...

Great stories Mike and Joe reminds me when our granddaughter was 5 or 6 and had a kiddie pool in our back yard. One of those blowup 5-6fters. Well it seams that Meagan found my eels behind the house and dumped them in her pool and than climbed in with the eels. By the time i got home she had names for them and i had a whole house full of women that would not let me get them back. By the following day the gulls had a ball and I had to find some new fishing pets
