Matt - You can eat conger eels, but they do not taste great. As you say, freshwater eels are nice smoked - but they don't fight as well as the congers !

There are lots of us over here that kayak fish - we ave a great laugh and a few comps. too.

Nice video. Looks like they could be really fun on light line.

Very cool video. It's hard to pin down exactly why, but eels are just a little creepy. May be it's a snake thing. In the eel world congers are actually decent looking. Our eels here in Cali are kinda nasty, morreys just get uglier and uglier every time you see one, wolf eels are just amazingly ugly, and the blood sucking lampreys they call eels in the rivers of North Cal are on the sinister side.
