Eels have sandpaper like teeth so when they bite on to the bob their teeth get caught up. When you get one it is important not to rush. Most times you can get the eels head out of the water then you yank them out and then the bob will instantly come to. Be careful because they will find there way back to the water. Eeling this way is that no damage is done to the eel. You can easily release the eel and it will find its way back to the water without hurting them.
