This guy destroyed two of my snagged lures so I switched to squid I hooked in to him real quick it was about a 10 minute fight he had me snagged up in the rocks. He's my new PB 2 feet and 3 to 4 pounds 

Didn’t measure it, but it was huge. Good eating too after making it into cajun calamari in the dutch oven 👌🏻🔥

I lost three eels before landing this one. Was about to give up and go home empty-handed as a sunset, but I had a feeling I would pull one out at the last minute. Two of the four were small. Another was big as well, about the same size, and I literally kicked over a rock in the water to get him out, but he ended up flipping off anyways. I’ll get him next time 👍

Weird looking dude when I was bringing him up thought it was something else. first time catching one of these things and first time catching an eel. Trying to catch every species I can cool little dude to add to the collection
