I used to use the mesh bags for my eels, but I found most of them would die as I walked along. Also, they would get all nasty from the slime getting wiped off in the mesh, and then it would pick up sand and just become a big mess. That and the fact that I would get eel slime all over my waders, jacket, or wetsuit.

Do you guys using the mesh bag ever run into them dying prematurely?
