Wtb- big fire/tire track eel, Crystal Lake, IL

[fishguy306]

Like said above, I want a big fire eel or tire track eel. So like 15" plus. Bigger the better. I have no idea on pricing on the big ones, I just know if I get it from a lfs I'll be charged way too much.

Im in crystal lake, IL, hour NW of chicago. Im open for shipping or driving a bit for a good deal. Thanks

The LFS here had one that was about 18" for $50. I dont know if thats a good deal or not, but they said they can get them at that size/price fairly regularly.

Where abouts in Indiana are you? I'm thinking it'll be a bit of a long haul and probably not worth the gas, but its worth checking for.

Also, was it a fire eel or tire track eel?

this fish store is in marion. It was a fire eel, and I'll check on availability next time I go there

hmmm, that might be a bit far. Just looked it up, it looks like itd be a 3+ hour trip each way

if there are any cool fish stores half way I might be up for a small road trip to meet you with it. (if they can still get them)
