just trying to get other peoples views on something i encounter on a lot of dives,
that being congor eels caught in lobster pots. i always release them as the fisher men will only kill them and use them as bait. last weekend i found a beautiful congor she was at least 7ft long probably close to mating age it was really cool to be able to get so close to her and examine her i called the rest of the divers over to show them how cool they really are then opened the pot and let her go after the dive all the divers asked why i had let her out after explaining that all the congors found in in shore waters are female and that they only mate once at around the age of 15 and then die i think i had converted a few
ps the congor had already eaten the bait in the pot but i will always set them free
