what's the longest time an eel has stayed alive for you?

had one about 2-2.5 hrs last night.
depends on water temp too i think, later in the year they tend to stay alive longer for me.
I officially drowned the one last night though, did have about 10 pick-ups so the eel was nice and scratched up.
hopefully they were just small fish

good point on the water temp thing, that could be it! I think this eel had a strong will to live though.
for hooking an eel, you only need to look to the #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& himselfhttp://www.striped-bass.com/Stripert...highlight=hook

I usually have my eels alive for about 2 hours even after catching fish unless its a blue.
