Never seen one of these in person. I don't think it was a leach because it had slight fin down the back and belly. Fell off in the boat after a minute or so out of the water

It Is an eel,,,, In the Lampree family.. I caught several fish in Brackish water that had the marks where one had been attached, When I lived in Florida. The fish eel has a mouth similar to a Lizzard, I have caught enough of them to fill a 55 Gal Drum. The St Johns River is full of them. Comercial Fishermen send them to Japan By the Ton
Put it on a hook and toss it back out there!
They are good Bait for Big Stripers,,, Bass might also hit one that size
Negatory Beeramid, after i managed to pick it up off the deck it started twisting around and contorting like it wanted to put me on a hook...Quote:

edit to add: Dang that water looks calm! Hopefully stays that way through the weeekend

That's just totally gross DB. Good thing they're not very big.... :yikes
That is one ugly sucker. I thought it was a leach. Shows what I kno. I know this. I don't like em. I can look at it and tell that much.
dip that "sucker" in some batter and fry em.......
Looks too much like a snake for me.......
