Up to you, if you don't mind a little extra work save em'. Rigged, skin plugs and eel bobs are effective uses for em'.

Save the skins, the eels dry out too much.

If you rig them and freeze them in a brine solution...OK. If you freeze them as just eels, what are you going to throw? Freezer burned dead eels that are a year old. Think about that. if you were a Bass what would you eat? A live, fresh eel or a year old freezer burned dead eel?

No boat, back in the suds.

Skin them and brine the skins. Oh Yeah put them in a tupperware that says please don't look, honey

Rigged eels are pretty deadly. It's absolutely disgusting to do and takes forever, but they work well.

The book "Secrets of Surfcasting at Night" has 2 chapters on how to do it by Al Bentsen.
