LMAO - So true, so true...

Personally, I use a shiner bucket with holes in the bottom so the ice melts away and does not drown the eels. For transporting, I use a block of wood in the bottom of a 5gal bucket and put the shiner bucket on top so the the melt off doesn't eventually drown the eels (they will choke on their own slime).

Plum, fishing eels as you would a chunk can often be a pretty bad thing to do as they will ball up on your line or do whatever they want. Some people have perfected a chunk live eels from shore bit but I like to cast and retrieve them as a plug. Consider them a poor casting live "plug" and that's how they work best from shore...
