Hey Bassky .... you ain't "old" .... shoot, I remember a buddy of mine catching an eel out of the KY River, down at Clays Ferry. And here's the kicker ... I was a teenager then, so that had to be FORTY SOME YEARS AGO ....LOL!!! First and only one I've ever seen, or handled. Of course, we had to try and hold him barehanded, first ... then realizing we couldn't do anything with it, we got our hands sandy and then grabbed ahold -- and that worked fine. We skinned it, chopped 'er up into sections, and sold it (along with some cleaned Channel Catfish). The guy that bought them was more interested in the eel, than the catfish, as I remember. And I think we made enough money to drink pop and munch on $0.25 snackcakes for a couple of days. Yep, real entrepreneurs we were .... LOL!!
