Anyone ever have a problem with Conger Eels

[porgyhunter]

Diving off Plymouth Mass. years ago I was startled to find my usual lobster haunts crawling with conger eels. I did not know they were conger eels at the time, just big heads looking out ot lobster holes under rocks. They minded their own business and I mine. Only after looking them up did I find they exceed the MorayEel in length

Divers who are experienced in the UK waters say they can come after you if they feel threatened. I found this and think it's the same event one I was thinking of.

Ive seen a conger eat a small torch - took it straight out of divers hand off Lundy island.
One of the funniest things ive seen underwater.

Olive oil, garlic salt and a little basil took care of the problem I had with them.
