So how did it taste?

[bassassassin]

u actually touched that thing!:Shocked: dont they bite?

[falcor49]

umm.. I didn`t eat that thing and I would never eat out of newport but I let her go back down to the depths and she swam away just fine.And I think they can bite but no big deal I didn`t get bit so yup enjoy the pic

[WARRIORMIKE]

wow what a crazy catch:EyePop::EyePop:

[Wingnut]

That's cool! I'd like to add that Eel to my species list. :Wink:

[falcor49]

oh thats cool you have a species list too yeah i have one i like knowing what i catch most people don`t care that much and my dads a biologist so we love animals.I rarely keep fish

[falcor49]

i`m also up to 57 fish oh my life list for two years how many do you have Wingnut??I`m sure you have way more lol

[MAVERICK27]

Nice catch and report!!!!! Thanks for sharing. That is one ugly fish though haha

[smokehound]

I would never eat out of newportits not as bad as you believe. I eat fish from there all the time, been doing so for over a decade. Still have every bit of my sanity and a sparkling bill of health.

Very cool to catch a rare fish!

[falcor49]

it does matter have you noticed the water quality not very good in laguna you can see the fish but not there

[falcor49]

srry i forgot to add the water is way better in laguna then nph

[smokehound]

Water clarity is not a good indicator of safe water. You can have stagnant water reeking of putrid matter, yet crystal clear.

If you think that water is unsafe, then you might as well not eat any legal halibut or sand bass. As well as any legal WSB you catch in the surf. or mackerel, or Barracuda. All of them spend a very large chunk of their lives in the harbors.

[falcor49]

thats exactly why I don`t eat the fish I catch.Thats what I just said earlier and yes water quality is a huge part so what your saying is you would eat out of the salton sea??And if so then your crazy

[smokehound]

now thats just funny, comparing the salton sea to the ocean. Lmfao

[falcor49]

no your saying water quality doesn`t matter so the salton sea has horrible water quality so you said you still eat out of that cuz it could be crystal clear thats wat you said."..you can horrible stagenat water filled of putrid matter yet be crystal clear." NO YOU CAN`T!!!! know what your talking about before you say it

[smokehound]

Dude. You need to calm down. The water is fine. i spent 6 hours surf fishing at newport with a terrible laceration exposed to the water. Its way cleaner than you think!

[gletemfeelsteelgary]

Man, U should hold that sucka with way more precauction, I've caught them a few times and they have some fairly knarly teeth and the ones I got were pretty pzz'd off, I'd hate ta see ya get bit..

nice job on the catch and havin the marbles to hold it..

Heres a few other creepy creatures one might encounter while out on their escapades

Salute !

[fisherman from long beach]
