Eels
My friend and I were fishing, I believe it is called 'poaching' in the vernacular. We were only eight years old and not expecting to catch anything. After about five minutes we caught an eel. We tried to land the bugger and once we did the fun started. To get the hook out we needed to get a grip on it, but the eels was slippery and writhing around like a child on fire. It managed to stick the hook into my hand, and then turned over to stick it in my friend's hand. It took twenty whole minutes of hitting the eel with sticks and then rocks to stop it. Eventually we retrieved the hook from the lifeless corpse. And then we threw it back in the river.
