Great haul. Fond memories of childhood catching and cooking them. Not that many though!

There was some group farming them down central somewhere. It was tied into a forestry operation if I remember right.

@Raging Bull haha.

Hmmm haven't been looking for them in years. Might have to see if there are any in the creeks on the island, there sure are some good eels

man theres nothing that size in the creeks where i live. all finger size

We catch a few for a feed.

Just missing the cocktail Dundee

Man the world has evolved. I caught them by the bucket load with a hunk of liver tied on a string and weighted down with a bolt from out of the old man's shed when I was a young fellah in Tokoroa. Just wait till they get to feeding, pull them up to the surface slowly and grab the buggers. They are bloody yum and that bath load has just got my gastric juices gurgling.
