  2. Eels

    Share Share Post
    I have heard it related by people - several people that if yo caught an eel, made a cross on the ground with a stick or any blunt instrument, and place the eel on it, there it will remain unable to crawl until again released.
    Try it out as I had no opportunity of doing so myself.
