Keeping Eels

Striped-Bass Fishing | Keep Cool Eel Bucket

The nice thing about the eel bucket is in water, they fade color, in the bucket, they get darker (even white bucket). Hope the eels in mine are dark by tomorrow night

Here's what I use...a 72 quart cooler with a couple holes drilled in the top to run airlines through. The air is from a couple basic aquarium pumps and 6" stones. Generally I change the water every day or two depending on how many eels I have and also add frozen water bottles to keep the water cool. I can keep 50 eels in this set up without any problems.
