i do not ice them, but i do switch the water in the bucket I keep them in often. We toss em from the boat toward the rocks and reel real slow, feel a pickup- drop the tip of the rod and then set when you feel tension. some guys whack the eels head on something to stun it b4 casting, which prevents the eel from balling up- but i just hook the eel under the chin and out the eye, quickly drop it in the water until i am ready to cast, them toss away. I doubt bass see many eels that are stunned swimming around, so I keep mine as alive as possible as to keep a natural appearance. just my humble opinion
