Congrio cazando de noche (Conger eel night-hunting)

This past June, 2012, Juan and I had the privilege to accompany a 5-foot-long (1.5 meters) conger eel as it did its nightly hunting.  Normally bad-tempered, this one allowed me to get to within 1 foot (30 cm)!  We came across it 3 separate times; on one occasion it lazily swam between my legs in its quest for prey.  We were even able to touch its tail!  Truly a wonderful experience.
