How to catch an Eel?

Have to agree with that one. I had a 50G FOWLER that I dismanteled and I needed to catch my little snowflake. Lets just say to this day I no longer take a chissel to my liverock.

Try an inverted clear juice container (the cap end larger than a 2L pop bottle) load with some bait and net the end after he goes in. Worked for me once.
