1.8+ meter long eel

This longfin eel (Anguilla dieffenbachii) was comfortably longer than my 1.8m hand net. Could have been nearing two meters in length!

Positioned at the tail of a plunge pool below a perched culvert, this eel was well placed to take advantage of any fish unable to migrate upstream. Could this be the reason for its great size?
