Giant eel (Eddie) strikes again!A GIANT killer eel has roused from the murky waters of the Yarra to claim its second victim.Eddie the giant eel, named after its first victim - a Jack Russell dog - reportedly claimed the life of an unsuspecting goose on Wednesday night. It seems the slippery sea monster's appetite has outgrown the waters of Tommy Finn's trout farm and it has moved upstream into the Yarra River in Warburton to stalk its prey. Trout farm manager Gary Wales said a man, looking as white as a ghost, entered the trout farm late Wednesday night, claiming the serpent had snatched a goose he had been feeding. "He was fishing on the Yarra in Warburton and feeding bread to the geese and apparently the water swirled around and the goose disappeared - Eddie the eel just swallowed him up," Mr Wales said. He rejected as scuttlebutt suggestions the eel was a myth designed to generate publicity. The attack follows another incident in April when fisherman Chris Healy said he was pulled into the water by "something unknown" - also thought to have been the work of Eddie.
