Baits & Lures[]

  • Bait: Quick Hitter, Rainbow Bait

Techniques[]

The distinct long body of this fish gives it away at it swims in the muddy water.That being said, this fish is quite rare and tends to hit last if there are other more common large fish such as Peacock Bass and Alligator Gar. It also quite picky: even Rainbow Bait can be refused on occasions.

When hooked, the Eel fights somewhat like the King of Herrings, but tires out faster. That being said, this fish is tough, even more than the Pirarucu and may escape if you are not careful. The Titan rod/Infinity reel combo works best, but inferior tackle are still usable though not recommended.

Trivia[]

  • Despite its name, the Electric Eel is not an eel (Order Anguilidae). They are member of the Order Gymnotiformes (South American electric knifefish) and related to the Black Ghost Knifefish.
    • However, they are the only member of their order that capable to generate potentially lethal discharges (up to 600 volts). This makes them hazardous for caretakers and biologist without the proper equipment.
  • When caught, the player character is shown holding the Eel at their mouth without any proper electricity insulation. In real life, this could result in fatal electrocution unless its electricity-generating organ has fully discharged.
  • When agitated, they can produce intermittent electric shock for an hour.
  • Electric Eels are used as a model in the study of bioelectrogenesis (electricity generation by living organisms).
