    Forum consensus - Eels are awesome.

    Never forget catching one on a scout trip early in the morning, took it into the tent to show everyone my awesome catch. The poor eel got loose and went ballistic on the tent floor. Scouts were trying to get under the tent or over the eel to get away from the large squirming pissed off eel. Hilarious and it somehow made it back to the river about 10 m away, they seem to have a sixth sense as to where their home is.

    Haha Nah everyone was too terrified of getting bitten and preoccupied with escape. I quickly went back to fishing.

    Heres a hard case story I heard.
    '' A team of mates away on a roar trip.
    A couple of the boys caught a few eels and deposited them in one of the guys sleeping bag.
    Quite a few beers etc were had that night and when the victim went to bed, much to his mates delight who had chosen to stay awake and listen to the proceedings.
    Climbing into his sleeping bag, when a blood curdling scream erupted.
    Exit stage left in one hell of a hurry one very pissed and pissed off guy to eject said eels onto the ground outside. The boys all denied any knowledge of course.
    He had to turn his sleeping bag inside out to sleep in as the slime from the eels had covered most of the inside. And it was his missus sleeping bag to.

    A sequal to the story happened a few months later when the main protagonist left his check book with in reach of the eel victim who wrote in a blank space in the check butt.
    The protagonist handed all his check butts into his accountant who rung him up and asked what the $2000 cheque was and why was it made out to a bogus doctor for services to remove eel from anus.
