eel id please hair tail??
Caught this eel on the sunshine coast - kawana last night not really sure what kind of eel it is. I have seen them lurking around last time i went for a night fish also there always in pairs. The one i caught was a metalic chrome looking, It looked purple/green/blue when it captured the light. Its tail was damaged and missing and had one set of ugly teeth on it. I dont really think it knew it was hooked as it didnt not fight at all untill it thrashed around something chronic once landed.

Only had my dodgie iphone camera with me so the pictures are shocking.

Its a hairtail... but what is it doing there? haha I was always of the impression they were a more southern fish that tend to like much deeper water as well.. I hav been wrong before tho

Not exactly an Eel brad don't think they belong to that genus, I used to catch them in Japan and they're yum so if you do catch them they're worth cooking up
