1st - I thought you had gone to the dark side
Does he eat them or for bait ???
We never caught that many, but, we were young and fishing during the day
It'd be 50 years since I had a feed of eel

Have heard of some folk using Eel for bait in the surf zone as it stays on the hook considerably longer than most other soft-baits.
