When the moon
Hits your eye
Like a big
Pizza pie,
That's a moray.
Sorry, it's bad, I know. I finally got a chance use that line.
Anyway, I don't hunt eels, but often see morays. I sometimes mess around with the smaller ones, but a couple weeks ago I saw one whose head was poking out of a rock. That head was about the size of a 2 lb. coffee can. We politely said hello to each other and both agreed it would be a real good day if we just left each other alone.
One thing I have wondered about is if a noose made of heavy flourocarbon fishing leader on the end of a pole would work. The idea would be that the flourocarbon line would be almost invisible underwater and could be slipped over the eels head, tighten and pull.
