A lot of bass have fallen to plugs when they were on bunker - I've seen certain fishermen be able to catch large on plugs when everyone else found them overly finicky or only interested in a particular bait. I also had a buddy get a 47# and a 48# on successive eel casts when the fish were on big bunker.
Eels are not called striper-candy for nothing - it's like if you were not that hungry but somebody offered you your favorite food - you'd probably eat it anyway. Plus the way that eels are typically fished - dead slow and sub-surface - gives them a huge presentation advantage.
Without being there, and knowing the plug selection and how they were presented, its hard to say.
