Are you sure?Okay, okay, back up the Eel truck here....
1) I didn't know what a Lamprey was until I Googled just now... What. The. Hell. ?!
2) "How do I catch them"? Ewwww. I know what you were suggesting, I have also read Dreamcatcher--so that was disgusting.
3) I don't eat Eels, I feed them. And sometimes swim in the river with them.
4) My son found out that if you pick one up accidentally instead of a stick, then you will probably be bitten.
5) The electric Lamprey comment made me laugh my a$$ off.
I don't have any smartphone stories, I'm still fairly new to the smartphone world and am a bit unco' with it, so don't often attempt to use it while in motion.
Not a 100% no, but it did seem pretty obvious when I read your (next) Dreamcatcher post.Are you sure?
Actually, I was thinking something else when I wondered how/if you caught them. I was shocked by the visual of you in a lake swimming with eels, and I think it likely that my mind briefly went a bit Freudian. I didn't think of Dreamcatcher until I read Mod's post.Not a 100% no, but it did seem pretty obvious when I read your (next) Dreamcatcher post.
Ah, I see... no worries. Some people here do catch them, (nets or fishing lines and hooks) but I prefer to see them free.

People catch them for food?Ah, I see... no worries. Some people here do catch them, (nets or fishing lines and hooks) but I prefer to see them free. (and preferably when I am not in the water with them)
Yup, smoked Eel.People catch them for food?
I would probably consider that an exotic food out of reach of my mind.Yup, smoked Eel.
I don't like it much myself, it tastes kind of oily. It is a traditional Maori food and is often cooked under ground (with hot rocks) in a Hangi.I would probably consider that an exotic food out of reach of my mind.
