Hahaha. Who did that i wonder.

I used to think they were catfish...

Those things are no joke to mess with. River Monsters proved that larger ones can kill people. Also, I think they can get upwards of 5-6ft long.

I think I'll stick with piranhas. Those eels would make me nervous. Good luck with them, though.

Definitely wouldn't suggest going back to try and get shocked again, are you genuinely aware of the danger involved lol?

I've been blasted by a decent sized electric cat, can't even imagine getting zapped by an eel.
