A "fish story" or not, this is quite amusing....
Excerpt:
All at once, Bruce got a big run on his line. This thing went all around the boat and took more than twenty minutes to bring up to the surface. When they got it up to the surface, they could not tell what it was. It looked prehistoric.
Steve Jr. put a gaff in it and the two men dragged it aboard the 33 foot boat. As soon the big creature hit the deck, it went crazy, attacking them. It was an eel over 6 feet long, weighing close to 100 pounds. It had a mouth full of sharp teeth and was extremely pissed off...In the midst of thrashing around, the creature fell down below onto the floor between the two sleeping men, Erik and Ken. When they heard the thud and turned on the light, the eel raised its head right above Ken’s face. Erik rolled over and grabbed his 9 mm pistol. Steve Jr. started yelling. “Don’t shoot the gun in the boat! We’re 120 miles from land!” Next thing you know, all four fishermen were on the deck and the gigantic eel had sole possession of the bottom of the boat.
[snip, involving beer and squealing and running around] Then they hatched a new battle plan. Steve Jr. went out on the deck to get the beast’s attention. The eel attacked and Steve Jr. climbed up on top of the captain’s chair. Ken threw a blanket on top of the giant eel while Erik and Bruce beat the hell out of it with a steel gaff and a large ice chest lid. After the creature was finally subdued, they put it into a large ice chest, and closed the lid on it.
The four brave sailors all got themselves a beer and were laughing at the situation when the lid of the ice chest was suddenly knocked off and the eel sprang out onto the deck and resumed his attack.. Bruce stated that the eel was clearly out for vengeance. The four men each picked up something and the fight was on. After beating the creature with gaffs, ice chest lids and fire extinguishers again, they once more subdued the massive carnivore and put it back into the ice chest. This time, they tied the lid down and put another ice chest on top of that one. Eighteen hours later they returned to the dock and started unloading the boat. None of them was anxious to open the lid to the ice chest, in fact, they did “rock, paper, scissors” to determine who would pop the lid!

"Black Ninja Dog Strikes Back at Mayor Heinz"
...Several of the Mayor’s neighbors have spotted the Black Ninja dog leaving the Mayor’s property in the daytime while the Mayor is asleep. Recently I was called to come to the Mayor’s house right away and we discovered what that sneaky underhanded varmint (the dog, not the Mayor) had been up to. Both of the Mayor’s prize female Dobermans had puppies. They were all coal black with long floppy ears and bushy tails. All twelve were a spitting image of the Black Ninja dog. Mayor Keith Heinz is hopping mad. The sexual assault of his two bitches by this scoundrel showed that the Black Ninja dog has nothing but contempt for the Mayor of our town. Mayor Heinz called a special meeting with five of his closest friends to decide on a new course of action. After the meeting was over and the five were leaving, this brazen black dog ran across the corner of 14th Street and FM 517, causing one of the Mayor’s advisors to run into the ditch....
Now, we *did* see an image of Senor Pluto Lee Grier the other day...does he meet the description? Does he have powers of flight? Did he "sexually assault those two bitches"? The world may never know.
many of this themes could be a legend, in the same way many couldn't be a legend, we have to remember that history never tell us one hundred percet of the true.
