Eels in bass' stomach

[Pete_G]

There's been a string of bass with eels in their bellies lately. They might be Conger's or something, but either way, it's interesting since it's so rare. Caught in different areas as well.

Conger Eels? How big were these eels? You've heard of this happening before Pete? If they have been in the bellies of a few fish lately, what is that telling us? That there in closer than we think or that there were a lot of big eels around lately?

or people are missing a lot of hooksets, coming back with a empty leader

jimmy that happend once to us this year we were losing alot of eels to the blues that when we got a bass and cut it open it had a half an eel in it I once also had a bass with a conger inside. That thing was creepy.

My secret is out. I use Conger eels.

The previous all we had alot of baby conger eels( or at least we think they were congers) in the oyster gear. They were the same length and diameter of an american eel. The eyes on these eels were much larger than an eel used for bait. This past week we also saw a few eels in New Harbor swimming around at night. I had more hits with squid jigs with the bass than I did with fresh squid around the island.
