Just from the description, it sounds a lot like your garden variety eel. ive hooked a few while fishing (none longer than 2.5ft though)and the first thing they do when you try to unhook them is wrap themselves around your arm.
Eels, as far as my experience tells me, will take just about any bait, so i guess it could be possible a big one may have taken a go at Wally's arm, although i seriously doubt it.
I'm not sure about the size range of Eels in the US, but over here in britain they can get fairly long. ive heard of one that was nearly 4ft long. if the size ranges are similar, its entirely possible that a large eel looked like it was 6ft long to a wine-fuddled mind.
I regards to weight, eels really dont weigh that much. The 4 footer one of my friends told me about was only about 5-6lbs apparantly. |
