Totally depends on diet.

If it was a well fed cuda it would never even look at the eel as a food source.

But if it was a starving cuda that was being fed something dead and unnatural then it will look at anything that moves as a food source.

What is his diet?
 
LOL it seems like he had the best meal !
if you havent fed him in a while im pretty sure he had eaten the eel.
but most of my fish sometimes have big bellys when i come home from work , im pretty sure they find something to eat , im not too sure of it.
 
Yellow tails can swallow fish more then half it's size. I'm a witness, my 7" cuda swallowed my 4" atf whole in under 8 seconds :nilly:
