    I remember those beasts coming up in the prawn fleets, up to 8 feet long and nearly a foot wide at the neck. It was never good seeing the creels full of grey coils instead of big spikey orange claws. The first mate was some guy from the peat bogs of Ireland and thought that Conger Eels were just a weird looking fish. At the point where he was attempting to put one back over the side by grasping it in a bear hug, the skipper decided that was the right time to tell him how seriously dangerous they are.

    You should come to Australia! I caught an eel larger than that one from my kayak whilst on the Brunswick River in northern New South Wales. It was about 3/4 the length of my kayak and so large I daren't bring it on board with me so I cut it off with the pliers! If you ever come out to Australia close to the Gold Coast, let me know - you can stay in our granny flat between fishing trips.

  • @pauliacono6580

    Another GREAT Vid thx Graeme....only 1 safety suggestion, when alone on a boat I like to put a ladder on the side just in case I go over (as did once) even when young and fit it IS Very difficult getting back in a high sided boat alone. A simple, cheap laddder can make all the difference especially in rougher sea or if get injured falling out of boat (standing on banana skin lol or slippery fish etc). Just an idea is all.

    • @USN_Ret-
      @USN_Ret- 6 років тому +4

      I have a collapsible folding ladder mounted on the bow of my bass boat for this exact reason.

    • @pauliacono6580
      @pauliacono6580 6 років тому +5

      It's something that most fishermen don't think about, but if it happens it is a difficult task to get back in your boat, I was a seriously fit martial arts trainer and I found it very difficult to get back in my boat alone. IF the waves had been higher or the water much colder who knows the outcome. So I as you agree decided a cheap ladder was the order of the day. Better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it. If we save 1 boatmans life with what we have discussed here, I for one will be a very happy man.
      Enjoy the Sea but BE SAFE!!!!!

    • @pauliacono6580
      @pauliacono6580 6 років тому +4

      A quick one in case anyone thinks I am being too cautious. I live/fish in the 2nd highest tidal range of the world 14.5Metre or approx 50Feet, but the big killer is the tidal speed if you go overboard as it runs from 8-13MPH a fair old clip on a boat, if you are in the water cold, dark and in shock maybe injured consider this and make sure you are prepared too.
      It doesn't need these killer tides to make the water dangerous a local lake has deaths every year so banned swimming. I LOVE the water and over many years learned to have as much fun, but being as safe as I could make it. When a party of friends came fishing on my boat yeah I wanted to find the fish, but my most Important job was to return us ALL back to port safely. Please don't underestimate the power of our gorgeous seas, if you don't have the experience get the training from friends/professionals its worth every penny.
