i carry them in a soft sided cooler with ice in a zip lock. grab them with a brillo pad. Whether or not I smack them is an eel by eel decision based on how active it is - I usually don't. When I do whack them, its about 1/3 of the way up from the tail, never near the head. There's a great line in one of Laptew's videos about not hitting them on the head so they keep their faculties. I think bob rochetta says it.
