An Eel Surf Fishing

Here is an eel I caught surf fishing recently that I have not yet identified. It is known locally here in Cebu as Ubod, though smaller ones are called Bakasi. I caught this 4 footer on a piece of squid while fishing on the bottom with a paternoster rig. These are quite common down here and can grow up to 6 ft plus.

  Hi Dave,
  
  The eel was caught at what I call the Carbon Market spot. You can see a map of the spot on my website under the page; “Cebu Fishing Spots”. It is very near the Malacanang Sa Sugbu building at the entrance to the SRP road.
