Eels at $2,000 per pound?
I thought I was misreading this when I first saw it. But I guess a shortage of eels in Europe and Asia has made the price skyrocket. I guess I won't be slinging any eels this year!

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.

I think I may have to look into trapping them myself,in the long run it'll be cheaper.

The elvers are tiny, not the size they sell for bait. I buy eels by the pound during the season, usually 5 to 10 pounds at a time. I couldn't afford $10,000 TO $20,000 to fill my eel tank if the big eels sold for that much. |
