Thumbs up if you search for videos about eels after watching River Monster

It is actually quite true these type of eel can easily remove a hand or fingers depending on size of course but most have razer sharp little hook like teeth pointing backwards in there mouth so when the latch on they will do there spin simalure to a croc and it can remove a hand so please do be careful trying to catch this breed of eel with a sock.

@TheKalBaxter Rubbish these eels can remove your finger. In that respect it is not actually true. Not even close. They have teeth like sand paper and are hardly equipped to be able to remove a finger. I have caught a great many eels over the years (in much the same way as this clip) and have being bitten a number of times...without ever having sustained a serious injury.

where was this caught? That looks like freshwater, I didn't know freshwater eels could get that big.

@MrComedyBeast They can't take your hand off. Not even close. Who told you that not so wise tale?

[MrComedyBeast]

Agree with 62rome. Those nasty big ass eels can take your hand clean off. This is a whole new level of stupid. But also great to watch, so keep it up!!!
