4 or 5 times this year I switched eels from a larger to a smaller one (18" to 12") after nothing for a while. Everytime I hooked up, and these were all 20-25lb fish...
I think I reasoned it out with JoeP that the big eel was the teaser; like Marlin, it piqued their interest.. the smaller eel just looked edible...
I'm sold... my best size has always been 12-15"
