Tuna nui


On saterday night me my dad and my frined Connor drove down to the river to catch some eels. When we got to our spot we set we set my Hinake. After we set the hinake we went for a dirve up the river to catch some eels with the fishing line the trick with a fishing line is to drop it to the bottom of the creek and  waite and sit quietly untell you fell a tug.
. I caught 1 small eel We had to cut a hole in the eel  to get the hook out so dad walked  to the river to wash the eel but it swam away when dad washed it.  Then we drove back down the road to pull the hinake in we caught 10 good sized eels but we let 8 go because they were long fins. We reset the hinake in the same spot then went back home for the night. In the morning we went back to the river to pull the hinake in. When dad hoped in the river he had a quick look in the hinake well it was still in the river and he said it dose not look like there is anything in there. But when dad pulled the hinake up and we saw the biggest eel we had ever caught. So we took it home and weighed it then got it readdy for the smoker. It was 1meater long and 3 kgs. When we somked it also was the best eel I had ever tasted. If you havent tried smoked eel it tastes like nothing else.
