This damned thing is not worth it, lol, I'm crazy. I figure I'll let the flys go in the grow room and put a jar or ground beef in there. Hopefully they lay some eggs and I get maggots before they escape or get eaten. Me and DD are going bug hunting outside this afternoon and we'll see what we get. I figure if we run out of food for him I'll just put him in the freezer till spring then thaw him out again because in the summer the bugs are so bad in there.
Man,I hear that CC...Guess there's no Purina frog chow,lol...

I've frozen a few eels over the years,(not intentionally)...I keep em in a fish tank on the terrace from late Sept to mid to late Nov for stripers...They don't thaw out in spring,lol...
The last time I had what I call the releasing of the eels,(when i know I'm done fishing for the year),I take whatever eels are left and release them into the ocean...
The first year I did this,I put them in at shore...The seagulls were pickin em out of the whitewater...I was so pissed,lol!!!Now I throw them off the jetty...:420thought:
