The Picture is indeed an American Eel, it was examined by State Biologists, Ray my employee that weighed the eel and took the picture has caught plenty of congers and it wasn't.

confirmed then there is nothing more to say other then, I stand corrected.... what threw me off was the color...

I know that male congers are smaller then females... In both the length and girth...

I just found out that eels coming from FW to SW to make their migration are silvery in color...


Neways.... Congrats to the angler!!..

Fish_Eye,
Thats insane... never thought of grilling them... will try next time...
