So this is gonna sound crazy but bare with me. I went on a fishing trip in the Gulf of Mexico this past weekend and accidentally caught an eel off an oil rig. He was in about 600 ft of water about a quarter of a mile from the continental shelf. He was about 4 or 5 ft long and the picture below is only the top part of him. I tried to ID this guy myself but I haven’t found anything that has resembled it. If anybody has a clue of what the name of this eel is, please tell me, but feel free to comment as well. If any of y’all have had an experience like this, please share. For those wondering, I did let it go because I didn’t want to risk being injured from it and I personally don’t know how to make sushi.
