Eels Meet The Eels Rarity
I becamefascinated with eels as a child when I was out fishing for trout and bass andcaught them by accident using worms as bait.They were muscular and slimy and impossible to hold and verystrange. I didn’t know what to make ofthem—were they snakes or fish or what? (They are indeed fish.) In my earlyteens I met an old game warden named Joe Haines—he caught me fishing illegallyin a local reservoir—and he became a kind of outdoor mentor.
Joe caught eels not by mistake butintentionally, with rod and line, in traps, and by spearing them in the summerand winter. Joe, like his Italian motherand German father liked to eat eels so there were times I spent watching Joeclean and eat them, and ate quite a few myself.I believe it was Joe who first told me that the eels that lived in thepond and stream and estuaries near my home in Easton, CT were born thousands ofmiles away in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.I couldn’t wrap my head around the idea that the fish I caught near myhouse had made such a long journey—that they hatched as an egg in the darknessof a deep open sea.
No other fishtraverses such diverse habitats in their lives as eels do. They are remarkable creatures.
My fascination with eels only grew, and overthe years I have generated a lot of material about eels. I have made art with eels, I have cooked andeaten eels, I have traveled to remote parts of the world to learn abouttraditional uses of eels and record legends and stories about eels, I havewritten two books about eels, many articles, and made a documentary for PBSabout eels. Below I will provide linksto some of these eely creations if you care to look further. And hopefully some of this material will helpsend you on your own journeys, both physical and of the mind. Spending time with eels and people who havedevoted their lives to observing and studying them, changed my world view.to the book that I wrote about Joe Haines (Joe and Me) the old game warden,some eel stuff in there.that I spent twelve years working on about freshwater eels(Eels: An Exploration from New Zealand to the Sargasso of the World’s MostMysterious Fish). It covers regions ofthe world as various as New Zealand, Micronesia, Japan, New York, Maine,Connecticut and Canada.to a children’s picture book I wrote and illustrated in which one of thecreatures is an eel!
