Small eel like things?

[Iva-Cod-on]

Hope this doesn't sound daft but when I was out last weekend off newbiggin I caught a couple of things that looked like a light coloured eel about a foot long ugly looking things n very slimmy with a sucker type mouth and about 4 barbules they weren't hooked just sucked onto the rag i was fishing on the bottom curiosity has got the better of me anybody any the wiser?
