#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&, I notice that you have a hook with a bent in point rather than the straight point. Is that your hook of choice? I find the straight ones hook up slightly better, but they do foul on the rocks more frequently so i guess it's a toss up for me.
The pic is nice, I was lucky enough to have John show me your method...

I've been hooking eels down the throat, similar to the way #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& does it for years. Another advantage is that you can cast them for long periods without tearing the eel. When you hook them through the lips, I find they tear easier.

And all this time I've been hooking myself in the bottom lip and just stuffing the eels in my shorts 
It's no wonder I'm not catching any fish

What about hooking them through the tail. I heard that if you do that you can just toss it out and leave it to swim around and you don't have to constantly reel in.

I know this post is wicked old, but I referred to it before I started eeling for the first time this year and it helped a bunch! I hooked them exactly how #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& suggested and except for a few cast offs (probably due to not hooking deep enought down the throat) had no problems, some eels stayed alive and on the hook for a couple of hours. Oh and I also bashed them on the rocks if they were out of line.

Sounds odd but I DID read somewhere that the cobia fisherman do that... maybe they arent head hunters???
the hooked then like 1/3 of the way back through the flesh...
4/0 trebble.. mmm... shad  |
