Your net as well as your trace will get covered in slime from an eel and its a right pain ! ( its a coating used to protect the eel as they can travel across land and live out of water for a while )
Best best in future if you have an eel is not to use a landing net - if you're really lucky it will just fall off
Would loved to have seen it eating a jackpike though

And lie it on it's back. I know it sounds soft and I thought it was utter cr@p till I tried it on hols on the Isle of Wight and beggar me sideways if it did n't work. Don't net eels, they slime everything but PLEASE treat them with respect . Much as I hate catching snooty eels they are becoming somewhat rare and they are amazing creatures whatever I think of the slimey bu@@ers.
