A Monster Eel

Recently, Casey and Nathaniel have been doing a lot of fishing in the nasty water in our back "field/lake" (depending on the time of year). There had been a ton of overgrowth, but over the course of a month, and with some help, they chopped down the growth with their machetes, like real charapas. One night, they were fishing and found this ugly beast--a distant relative to the Lock Ness Monster. They measured it to be 1.75 meters (5' 7"). Fortunately, the nightwatchman was with them at the time of the catch, because they were going to grab it with their hands, thinking it was a big fish. He yelled for them to not get in the water, since he recognized it to be an electric eel. They hooked its mouth with a stick and drug it up to the house. We had some fun taking pictures, but it was still creepy. We stuck it in a wheelbarrow and gave it to a neighbor. Apparently, some people like to eat eel. Tasty.
