I'd love to catch one on your boat, they taste so so good. In New England waters the closely related species are called "wolf fish" and not "wolf eel". I caught one there 4 or so feet long, on a party boat trip when I was young. Still probably the best white fish I have ever eaten, they eat scallops and lobster and clam type things I think so their flavor is great.Never been a big fan of eels. Remind me too much of snakes, and God I hate snakes.
While not technically an eel, there are some wolf eel caught out of Westport every year, and quite frankly those things kinda scare the shit out of me lol. Gnarly creatures. Never caught one on my boat, and honestly I'd be happy to keep it that way.
Snakes of the sea, no thanks!
I saw a big big one caught once, and I remember the deckhand letting it bite a steel railing and the monster teeth leaving scratches in the steel.
