When mine get crowded in keepers they tend to get those "bite "marks... IMHO, they come from rubbing against the inside of the keeper they are in... I've seen large eels eat ( tail sticking out of thier mouths)smaller ones on many ocasions when left in a keeper for exteneded amount of time...their noses also tend to get beat up causing what I term "weak beak" syndrome, which makes them suseptable to being cast into the horizen as live chum...

A good run is better than a bad stand!
