A 4-foot-long eel washed ashore on Mustang Island, Texas, and was found by a reserve director at the University of Texas Marine Science Institute.
Tunnell shared video of the fish on Facebook as part of his beachcombing series on the Mission-Aransas Reserve page. The video series shows Tunnel encountering exotic creatures on Mustang Island.
“A lot of people think they’re snakes,” Tunnel said in his video about the eel. “No, they’re a fish, just a real interesting fish.” According to Texas Parks & Wildlife, the longest American eel found in the Lonestar State was 42 inches.
