John, I've always used ice on eels and it does work great, but once you put the hook in their mouth they come alive . They will calm a little by the second cast and are still plenty alive after a while. You are right about beating them into submission if you ice them they have that curl alot longer.
I put them in a 5 gal. pail with small holes drilled in bottom with some ice then put that pail in another pail to keep the truck from getting slimed and so they won't drown. I hook them in the throat far back and out the bottom that also keeps them living longer.
This year I hope to rig some eels RI style.
