I'm not ready to just put them in my pockets yet.

aquaskinz eel bag
put eels in individual ziplocs or sandwich bags...when you need one just grab the bag

you can get 8 in the mesh bag

Sounds like plan. I was concerned about keeping them alive but I guess if I puncture wholes in the bags for air and dunk them periodically they should be fine.

no problems keeping them alive

I use the aquaskinz bag, without the zip locs though and it works great. the zip locs are a great idea... much easy to grab one eel out of there thanks for the tip Jim.

I use a small six-pack cooler that I sling over my neck and shoulder that I got for $10 at CVS. I keep them in a mesh lingerie bag inside. It works great. I used to keep them on my belt but they would bang into my leg when I walked.

That's what I do - works great. The only problem is if you are deep wading the water pushes all of the air out of the bags & the eels can suffocate. Just open & reseal the bags every so often to put more air in them.
