European eel

Large eel caught in a piece of bread in the evening. My medium rod hardly pulled him out of the water. I had to release him because he is a critically endangered species. I don’t really recommend catching these guys because they are very stinky and slimy and it’s almost impossible to get the hook out of them.

Nice eel in Rio Guadaiza. They are critically endangered, so I had to release it

A very slimy eel.

Silver eel or nick named snooty eel one for this years species list hopefully the last 😂
