Whackem!

#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&, if you fish extremely rocky areas, then possibly I agree with you. But damaging the bait is a LAST RESORT. Note that the question was about tangling the line and not about getting stuck in rocks and obstructions. Given that, I stand by my recommendation.

Also, I've never lost an eel to a rock except in the ditch.

do not question the #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&..

How would you know since you always whack em?

I've done it both ways and can tell you that they last much longer without beating them up. It may not matter much though since I've caught lots of fish on fresh dead eels as well.

Feel free to whack em if you need to, there are lots of ways to skin a cat.

When I whack them they are far from dead they can still squirm and move fine, they just cant tie me up, look I have no idea what the hell I am talking about and I am a googan.

Please all further eel questions should be directed to the master of all things bass

I am the eel-The eel is me

1)Thou shalt not fish the eel without massive whackith

2) Thou shalt not marketh the eel or prayith to any false eelgods exeptith the #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& master of all things eel


3) Thou shall pray to the lowely eelith nightly and give it offerings of ice


4) Thou shalt not hold any other serpant abovith the eel


5) before one fishes the eel one shall swim to the sargosso sea and watchith the eel spawn

6) Thou shall not covet anothers success with the eel (me)

7) Thou shall not ever fish the eel anywhere exeptith rocky out cropings


8) Thou shalt scorn lowley shoestring eels that makith there way to fine baitshops on cape cod


9) thou shall only fish the eel with conventional gear

10) thou shalt anoint himself in eel water at a local baitshop by ceromonisly having ones partner baptise him by dunking his head in the eel tankith, the eeltank is sacred ground and should be bowed to upon approach



"There are many eels, but this eel is mine, I shall whackith him to a dizzying stupor at will , I shall impale the serpant on my hook and cast my offering to a boundless sea in the hopes that a great fi%$%$%$%$h shall consume said offering, I will bow my great stick to the mighty bass as the offering is being taken out to sea, I shall smartly setith my hook on the beast by crossing her eyeballs, I shall haul out my trophy and postith my picture all over striped-bass.com, I shall pissith off the minions here yet one more time with my great prowness of the sea and yet again assert my eel mastery"

Praise be to me and my eel, you may go now in peace and slime!

Looks like someone's taking themselves a bit seriously.

[eelman]

Why oh my children do you abandon your eel master? where has my flock gone astray? Seek and you shall find, ask and you shall be ansewerd my flock of eeler's I fear that there is a judas amongst us, however the hour will come tonight whereith I shall hook up once again with the mighty bass and be risen from the depths for all to see my trophy

Dont stray to far fellow eel slingers or I will have to have you drink eel water and put everyone to bed with there waders on and instead of the halle bop commet we shall leave this world and catch the next cast to the sargosso sea for all eternity.

[bassmaster]

leave #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& alone he is all mine
I some times wack an eel but I really never have the ball problem, that happens when Youw walkin down to toss the little %$%$%$%$ing son of a stankin beyotch in the water.
I will toss the little filthy heathen out and reel it in alittle fast or at times just keep control of the little %$%$%$%$ untill it learns that im going to stick a nail down its little %$%$%$%$ing throat to sink the little %$%$%$%$ing ***hole
herring makes me mental and i love short scup the best but butter fish live rules my world I get them along with eels in the toilet bowl of love near my house
