Forgive me, but

How much more stupid can you get? Thumbs and fingers look alot like hotdogs. The idiot got what he deserved IMO.

Why does everyone focus on the fact that your fingers look like hotdogs? I think you finger looks like food to the eel, regardless of having hotdogs or not.

The reason I focus on hotdogs is that is what he was using to lure the eel out of it's home in the first place. How many times have you spotted an eel when diving, and only seen it's head sticking out of the rock? Have you ever seen them come 100% out of the hole to come after your hands?

What would be the only reason for an eel to come out of it's protective cave? Food. PERIOD. Have they ever left to swim with you and be buddies? If they have, I want pictures/and or video.

I kind of enjoyed that.

in a sick kinda way....

I don't like eels to be honest. I'm always noticing them at the last minute while setting up a picture five inches from my face.

yea, I think the hot dog set him up with a conditioned response, they just can't see to well.
