I caught one of these critters on a hook & line at the Solana Kelp. Good fight but I was scared to put it in the kayak with me. It it looked like it could move around like a snake. It had big teeth and was striking out too. As I held it partly out of the water it twisted-up into some kind of ball wrapping much of my leader around itself. It would no stop wriggling around so I had no choice but to cut the line. This same Moray Eel experience happened again when I went fishing in Florida. I don't like to catch these.
