Man Loses Finger While "Fishing" for Eel

By Tim Romano

Fly fishing it is not, but an entertaining piece of video for a friday picked up from Moldy Chum.  I'll warn you, it's a bit graphic and pretty disturbing. Kinda like the Darwin Awards for fishing. Enjoy. -- TR

Oooooooooouuuuuuuucccccccchhhhh!

They needed to post a sign saying "Don't feed the wild animals" apparently.

I know a little girl that had her thumb torn off from an exercise bike and had the same toe put on her for a thumb also, although her surgeon must have been far better than this guys.

He's lucky that eel didn't swim up his shorts for a meal. I think that would qualify for a Darwin.

I usually don't slam on people who enjoy interactions with wild animals, but feeding a moray eel hot dogs with your fingers??! C'mon, didn't one of those guys ever see that what happened was virtually inevitable?

You look like an idiot and you got what you deserved. Harassment plain and simple. Dumb ass. What did they think it was a pet poodle? He's lucky his zipper wasn't down.

He tried hard enough to get the eel worked up. Hate to see someone lose a body part, but he was asking for it. Here's your sign.
