"with a little finnese you can make a dead eel swim just like a live one."
Very true... sometimes I just let a mostly dead eel drift, no retrieve until it sinks to the bottom, the lift it again.. bass are scavangers as much as they are predators... hence the crabs and lobbies in their bellys
Ice is key... my boat set up is two buckets inside eachother, the top has a bunch of 1/4" holes in it... dump in the eels, add some ice, that way they wont drown....
In the surf I sometimes add Ice to my mesh bag, but usually they just hang on my belt...
