For almost 3 feet long, that's not a real big eel diameter-wise. I caught one just a little over 2 feet long that was as big around as my arm.

Please green?

The head of a dead eel flopped down from the intake line. The rest of the snake-like fish came out like sausage from a sausage maker.

The kind of material you can only dream about writing when you're in journalism school.

I like how the worker was so freaked the fark out that he left his channel-lock pliers on the fitting and ran away.

CSB: In Detroit at the Water and Sewerage Dept. the most coveted job is to watch the forks that sift solid waste from the incoming stream. When I asked why they said whatever they find in there they can keep & when local police raid a drug house and money is flushed down the toilet they usually find a few grand at the plant.

/also that place smells worse than anywhere I've ever been and I used to work next to a landfill

FTFA: Battered and creased by its struggles in the pipe, the deceased eel was tossed into nearby woods for other creatures to consume, Weaver said.

Yeah, sure. I know for a fact, that the eel in question was sent to the Chinese restaurant in the thread above, and served to unsuspecting diners.

Your facts are wrong. It was placed in a cage outside of the abandoned lot where the runaway dogs take shelter. The place a few threads up was a traditionalist spot.

Looks all tired and worn out, soggy and out of breath. Kind of like mine after 3 hours in a tight narrow hole. And it seems to be dripping slime or sputum out of its mouth. Kind of like mine was.

I've seen so many things in pipes working for 23 years in the plumbing biz, but never an eel. Usually it's condoms that clog up the pipes..people please;..... D9 NOT THROW CONDOMS IN THE TOILET!!!

Work at a power plant that uses seawater for cooling. I like looking at the bin where oversized objects get flushed....usually some crabs, fish, and occasionally a lobster. When we get a crab or a fish I'll throw it on the pavement and watch the seagulls come get it.

I worked in a old style treatment plant back in college, and something that small wouldn't clog up a pipe, since most of the pipes running out of the settling tanks are pretty large. We did get lots of calls from people asking if there was anyway we could 'keep an eye out' for lost items. Yeah, you betcha we will, our pleasure. Not! When we emptied the tanks for maintenance, we'd find all kinds of weird stuff that fell below the level of the flights, but never any jewelry. But most of stuff we did find were items kids would throw over the fence into the tanks, not things that went through the system. Hub caps were very popular items to toss over the fences, and we collected an impressive collection that we attached to the gates of the plant. That was as far as we got to a lost and found department.

What we did have to do was use these large hooks on long poles to haul up HUGE globs of swirling condoms from the tanks. Condoms and the plastic inserter things from tampons caused most of the problems if they got past the settling tanks. They'd get wrapped around the impellers of pumps, clog screens and were a general pain in the ass, not to mention gross as hell. I dreaded my turn at having to disassemble these huge pumps and pulling out condoms.
