Lovely pics

Smoking your catch looks good but I have to poach all mine as I begrudge the fishing license costs.

@ wabbiter

Sadly eel are on decline since about 10 years ago , we blame it on commercial fishing on their larvas returning to Europe with the Gulf Stream ,...... off the shores of Spain and France they're looting them , so not that many don't have a chance anymore moving into our river systems .

Asian "gourmets" pay big money for these , European fisheries can hardly compete with it to stock local waters , and it never worked out to breed eel in hatcheries since .

Second there is an alien parasite around now , scientists never found out , whether it affects the mature fish moving out of Europe to reach their spawning grounds east of the Caribean at all .
