10lb + Eel | Steve Pitts | Specimen Eel Fishing

We recently caught up with 'eel ace' Steve Pitts, who talks us through how and why he targets the mysterious eel. Steve has specifically targeted eels for over 40 years and would really like to get across how he fishes for the species from a conservation point of view. Steve started a campaign for 'safe fishing/lip hooking' eels, and in this video he discusses the avoidable problems with eel fishing, his "lip hooking" methods, as well as his most memorable captures.
