Catching Eels - includes a huge one.mpg

This video is one of our trips to Westport New Zealand during a Xmas vacation. I took the kids fishing and after a couple of Kawhai took them eeling. We caught some smaller ones then the bigger ones started getting aroused. This was an awesome hour or so and so many eels. Huge eel at the end can be seen lurking in front the smaller one at 1:12 on the video.

@txtluva Nice catch but I have caught a lot more eels than you could even dream of and believe me that last one on the tape was as big as your 10 kilo one. I used to live in Westport as a kid and loved to catch the big ones with some of them bigger than I was, Eels are great fun to catch and it wasn't unusual to catch 20-30 in a day.

@202ToranaMan yea i used to in year 9 (3rd form) go out before school and catch them although they were baby ones. so this the biggest me and ma mate have caught, we have filited it up and each filit is about 3 - 4 kilo
