Sammy -
Eels are a WHOLE lot easier to keep - in season I keep 'em in a 120 quart cooler on my brick patio in the shade with fresh water and an aerator pump - as long as you change the water periodically and keep it cool (drop ice in it occasionally when the water temp gets too warm) they keep just fine. Leave the lid cracked open a little but don't leave it open too much - they'll get out on ya.
My wife likes to read on the patio in the summer and she found an escapee with her bare feet one morning - man, you coulda heard the shreiking all the way to Montauk.
Oops, I mean
