Thread: Silly boy and an eel

I had a similar experience as a kid. After seeing a large eel in a drain, I put the muzzle of my .17 BSA Meteor near its head and fired a slug. The eel thrashed about, making water murky, so I put my hand in search for my ‘kill’. A nano second later I fell backwards with a shriek, flailing the eel, now attached firmly to a finger, across my brothers face. The eel escaped with a fair bit of skin.
