JAMB your thumb into the base of the skull where it meets the jaw.. the eel will go limp... those that have fished with me or been to my seminars have seen it in person.... hook your eel and toss it in the water... becasue as soon as you release it it will go balistic.... try this trick it... works great once mastered... in most cases I can hook 3 eels to the average persons one using this trick...

THAT is a cool little piece of advice right there! thanks Joe!
