"Biggest eel I have ever seen, approx 1 metre long, 150mm? wide, jet black, swimming in the ""Black Creek"" Wainuiomta"

Found this exceptionally large long finned eel struggling to make its way down stream from lake Wainamu, the stream bed is black sand and seemed to interfere with the eels mucus layer, she was drying up in water far to shallow to swim. After an hour in a large plastic bin with running water she had recovered so I carter her(and several other not so large eels) down to the estuary at Bethells beach where I guessed they were headed and let them decide when they would leave for the pacific islands. The eel in the photo was 1500mm long and weighed 16kg estimated to be 75 years old but could be around 100.

Several Long-fin eel, Anguilla dieffenbachii, live in the stream by my familys house on Waiheke Island, they are regularly fed the offcuts of fish caught that day. There are both short and long fin eels in this stream. See more photos on facebook https://www.facebook.com/GivernysCollection/photos/?tab=album&album_id=283204088710169
