Night fishing- conger

Conger (conger conger) according to the literature can grows up to 2.30 m (7,6 feet) and weighs 48 kg (105.8 pounds) but caught the specimens and more than 2.5 m (8 feet) and weigh more than 70 kg (154 pounds). Has a special shape of the body from head -round, and second half -flat. No luster, but his skin covering mucus, and therefore it can not catch with the bare hand, but it is necessary to have a rag. Thanks to the severant when he caught can live long beyond the sea. Most often found at depths between 5 - 15 m (16 - 49 feet) knows come and shallower, and apparently descends into the depths of over 1000 m (3280 feet).
About the sex life of a conger eel Little is known, it is not known how or where to spawn. Supposedly going to spawn a depth over 3000 m (9842 feet). Once the spawn, rest of their lives by himself and does not like the society. Typical night predator, per day hiding in holes and at night goes in search of food. It feeds on fish, cepalopods and crabs (his favourite is lobster), and will not hesitate to eat and someone of his kind. His blood is poisonous, and when you are in contact with conger you must ensure that these hands do not touch your eyes. The poison is termolabile and already at low temperatures is harmless (about 70 degrees Celsius- 158 degrees by Fahrenheit). His flesh is Delicious and can be prepared in several ways, the fried small pieces, over fish stew to barbecue larger pieces. Apparently the pieces greater than 5 kg (11 pounds) torn into slices and stored on the barbecue, delicacies which has no equal.
Usually captured on longline gear, staffed with fish. Hooks need to bee as large as possible. Conger has small teeth and terribly strong jaws. When we make tool for catching conger we must take care to make the leader of the steel cable.

Before I hunted conger deliberately, and now unwanted guest on my hooks. Because of his slimy skin I do not like the touch it. Always make mess when is cough  and almost always remain without a hook, because conger swallowed into the stomach. Usually I take him to a kit for a more noble fish.

Have fun...
