Hand Lining MASSIVE EELS at Night - catch & cook conger eel 

Great video loved every second of it I will have to come get those conger with you next time but I’ll bring a lobster pot as welll lol

Great video! For this type of fishin' circle hooks actually are perfect, do set the hook still, the way you do it is fine and not too fast, but the circle gives you the advantage you can let them eat the bait without worries till they run away, use Mustard 39950, the 3x demon perfect circle in 9/0 and 10/0, bridle the bait and you will have even more success, also once a fish is hooked on the circle it hardly ever comes off. Normal bottom fishin' is one thing, handlin' at eye sight somethin' else and it's exactly where circles shine. I did lots of handlin' like that for eels, Catfish and turbot before, even trout, all at night with a headlamp. The eels needed smaller hooks and I kept most anyway, so I had a line with a J hook, one with a smaller circle and one with a bigger circle hook ready, for Catfish and turbot that were at least a foot I'd use 1/0-2/0 circles with great success and even more important, they all survived!!!

Awesome , been waiting in a Eel catch & Cook. Easy on that Chili powder...lol.

Love u guys and been waiting for another conger bash 😂🥳

Brilliant stuff smash the conger adrenalin rush awesome I love when u do these never tasted conger it's on me list to try 😎👍💥

Well I was on the seat of the sofa leaning in to TV when you were handling between the rocks. Cracking upload, what a start to 2022!

Brilliant vid smash,, always to top quality viewing.. bring on the next conger wars 👍👍🦈🦈

Love conger , great vid 👌

That conger meal looks delicious !!! Will definitely ask my fishmonger if they have any.

Well done smash,what a dinnasaur.i really love your hand lining videos.little smash looked very interested in your meal.thanks smash.

I've caught them when we fish for sea bass, they're strong fish.i caught then in like 200 ft water with a rod and reel. The way you do it looks much more fun and alot easier until you hook one. We caught dogfish on those trips to and the eels were stronger than the sharks for the most part.

Fantastic !!! Big Fan ,keep up the good work boys! greetz from Germany

Great video. Looked proper fun that 😀

That was a MONSTER, congrats! really good video, very exciting!

Well done mate ✌🏻👍🏻

Them eels look like our big river eels in New Zealand. I reakon smoked be best. That looks delicious though

I fish in Dorset and we catch plenty of conger up to 20-30lbs. Never bothered to bring a big one into the boat as ive never fancy wrestling with it trying to dispatch it in the boat. Do you cut in behind their head to severe the back bone?

Jay that 1st eel was epic !!!

Seems like that conger may be similar to sturgeon (a bit)? Sounds and looks like it from what you were saying...thanks, looks yummy!

Thanks for sharing lads very addictive viewing. Just found your channel. 👍🇬🇧

Love your videos, definitely the most entertaining fishing channel I watch. Your enthusiasm is infectious. You're so lucky to live where you are but you know that 🤣

I would love to be in the water filming when you catch one mate. Great vid, loads of suspense 👍🏻👍🏻

Nice catch 😉

I wanna go fishing for these so bad. Texas panhandles don’t leave you too many options hahaha

Awesome!

Quality! That looks so much fun and love your excitement on night two trying to catch the big one! 👍🏼👍🏼

great video mate,,well deserved after 3 days :)

First time watching. Awesome video!!

Hell ya, woo!

Jay!! You have 110,000 subs now🙌🏻💪🏻Wow👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Nice video mate👏🏻👏🏻

Omg 😱 that was a monster mate!!!!!!!

Still got that cold eh dude! Best of luck for a chunky conger 👍🏻

Good luck and have a blast.

Love the channel. Just curious how many times do you eat conger a month? I fished Key Largo yesterday and caught 2 big bull dolphin, might cook a some tonight the way you cooked the conger. Try and make it a point as your success grows to fish in the Florida Keys, would make great content!

What does conga taste like is it fishy fish and strong ?

Smash fishing baby 🎣

It didn't look that big in the water, but when you had it in your hands, it was massive. Great catch, great video.

Hi There. Great film baby. were do you get those chum buckets from. There would be ideal for my shark fishing.

hey smash, you deff got a big wow when you pulled that big one out the water

Great.... Hello from Bali

I just discovered your channel ! Amazing where is that place?

After 1 years watching your channel i still love it 😀 😍

Amazing👍👍

I'm considering moving to guernsey to work. do you know how I can meet people?

U should try using the guts from ur abalone and a oily fish frame for ur chum eels like it in nz

Cheers smash decent video

Amazing!😱😱😱👍👍👍

Remember folks strong carbon or fiberglass rods, 30Ib-40Ib reels and reel the in.

Great video

Your videos always make me hungry 😋

i was right there with you i was on the edge of my seat brilliant well done smash

amazing ! never seen conger caught from rocks like this , any tips for a first attempt in scotland ? we have plenty of rocks and gullies in the area .. subbed for the catch and cook !

Hi Mate, This is first time I am seeing that you're eating conger eel, In Japan, I love to eat Unagi(うなぎ). It is eel's season in Japan and it is so delicious. You may try it sometime. The fatty skin tastes so good.

He's going for it! He's going for it!

Enjoyed that jay, bet your hands are cut to shreds after catching them eels 😂

Epic stuff Jay, persistence was definitely key. good stuff mate keep it up! 👌

Brilliant catch, mate. Keep 'em comin'

"Back for round 2" just killed me lol Nice catch mate keep em coming! 👌

I knew the feeling hahaha

Wow you are pro Master 👏 where is the location many thanks 😊

the cutlets should be 2" thick. Best simmered in water. Takes about 20 - 25 minutes. Check, its done when the skin comes off. The bone come out easily.

Mate , nice video

Love and hip-hop

I’ve seen a big conga eel coming out of a hole a few times mate

Big old girl. I've never caught one here in New Zealand, just the native long fin river eels

This guy deserves more subscriber .it's not easy to catch that kind of creature .but on him wtf😮

Nice Videos

Epics

siccck bro

What an experience hand pulled eels what a video to watch could make want to go fishing for them great , and yes start weighing your congers thank Jay for that

Cheers 🍻 bud! Love your fishing and foraging videos

Where you cach it

Love these sessions you have with the congers some nice big congers. He biggest one I have ever caught is 45lb on the wrecks that thought well. Love Conger baked nice slab sliced across the back and put onion rings in the slices and bake for 25 minute. Lovely. Great video Jay.

I live in Canada and watching this just makes me so jealous. We get Dungeness crab on the West Coast of British Columbia. What I wouldn’t die for finding lobster. That’s all East Coast. Love your show I watch it every day even the old ones from way back.

U sound like u hav a massive cold buddy is that cuz of all the orma foraging u hav done lol great vid love it bud

Hey smash, do you think you could deep fry conger in batter? I think that would be delicious maybe like scampi! 😊

A new use for a suet cage, LOL.

Awesome adventure Mate Thank you for taking me along. Much Love

Your little dog is so beautiful mate as always brilliant content.

nice one ☝️

Wow sidat mantul..God man..

Your best videos are with Sam.

Hahahahahha he is just sniffing about the hole at the moment ffs Jay give me a breath😂

Good lord that looks like a small pork roast it’s so big my goodness smash you have an under estimating the size and weight of your fish if that was almost 15 pounds then the big one you caught in the beginning was all well over 30 pounds wow

3 nights and how many congers? Ou woukd have caught on the first night if you were quiet and not flashing headtorches everywhere, they do spook.

What scales are you using mate?

That eel would feed a village!

Making me hungry

Slimy mackerel is great bait

Great video! I'm from the states land locked so I do mainly catfishing but I use mackerel everytime and catch monsters it's a great bait for any big fish !

Saya suka saya sukaa

Even i doubted 10lbs for that conger mate😂 hard few nights work but you smashed it👍 they dont call you smash for nothing 💯🍻🍻🍻🍻

Video hay . Chúc ae nhiều sức khoẻ

Those limpits on the rocks are good eating. Very expensive in hawaii.

That conger was over 30lb,beast 👍. I think you over did the chilli powder though 🙄😂😂🎣🐟
