PORTLAND, Maine (AP) -- Maine's Marine Patrol has cited a New Hampshire man for having tens of thousands of dollars' worth of baby eels without a license in what's being called the biggest case of illegal eel possession in the history of the fishery.
Officials said Monday that 41-year-old Phillip Parker, of Candia, N.H., was summonsed last Wednesday in Newport with 41 pounds of eels, known as elvers. Fishermen have been getting about $2,000 per pound for their catch this season.

They are “illegal eels”: hi-capacity assault eels. No one needs those sort of eels. I hear some are even ELECTRIC!

When EELS are outlawed, only outlaws will have EELS.
Do the electric ones have an extension cord or are they solar powered.
Maybe hooked up to windmills?

Don’t know much about eels, but if they are $2,000 dollar a lb. and they are edible, Michelle Obama would be serving them at the White House.
