Me and my brother fished the lower severn of Friday night. Just before dusk Dave spotted something rather peculiar in the margins, he described it as:
"at least 4ft long, eel like in shape and at least 4 inches in diameter". He also said it was "swmimming upstream in a serpentine motion" basically it looked like a bloody great eel, but looked just too big.
My guess was that it was a sea lamprey. I have read about them and think that they do get pretty big. Could anyone confirm that this was indeed what he probably saw ?
How common are they and has anyone else seen similar.
