As the family and I were enjoying some beach time last weekend at The Tides I found what appears to be a wolf eel.  If it's not an eel I don't know what the f*#& it is!!

Those teeth look like an entire hand, not just fingers, would be in danger!   :smt104

I grabbed Dan's wolf eel back in May '07.  It was securely hooked on a treble, so I grabbed it behind the head.  It wrapped its body around my arm, so I let go! 

Those things are badass. 

It's good that I run video now...   :smt004
