I too use a soft sided cooler with the eels in a mesh bag. I use a frozen bottle of water instead of ice cubes. That way I can through away the bottle at the end of the night and the eels don't drown. I used to wack them against a rock when I carried them in a bag on my hip but I rarely need to now because of the cooler. Whether or not hitting them kills them makes no difference to me. My biggest fish have all come on dead eels.
I don't even use one the 3m scotch pads anymore. The cool eels are easy to grab. When it is cooler out and I wear my Aquaskinz gloves, they provide plenty of grip to grab an eel plus you don't get the slime on your skin.
