Well, it's thoroughly nasty, but it could be a freshwater eel???

I think this is what was swimming in Omaha's stomach for a couple days at the PB convention. [Rimshot!]

I tried to lift the IMG code to post the actual picture in this thread, but couldn't seem to get it done.

Look it up in a Cajun recipe book. Might be a rare delicacy.

You think Thibodeaux and Boudreux know how to cook it up?

After seeing the head, it is most likely an American eel. The females will migrate many miles up freshwater rivers and will find their ways into reservoirs and ponds as well if they have streams flowing from them. Males generally stay in the tidal stretches of rivers and do not get as large. When mature, they migrate back out to the Atlantic Ocean where they spawn in the Sargasso Sea and die.

We caught 2 eels in the smaller pond last year,one on a noodle and the other a live worm. They are like salmon as they come back to the place their parents lived. When I fished the tidal rivers we would catch them on artifical baits sometimes.
Two ponds, 13 and 15 acres on the Mattaponi River.

Eels are able to travel over wet ground during rain storms. So who knows... The fish looks very desiccated, that will factor into how it looks and may make it look different than in living form.

When you open one of the links to bassmower's pics, on the right side of the screen, there's a drop down tab for 'image links.'
If you could copy the text in the one called "IMG," and paste that into a reply on this thread, the image would be posted.
bassmower, do you have those pictures marked as something like "not allowed to download" or something like that?
