Mike, that is hilarious. Do you notice your eels turning pale with the white cooler? Or are they not in it long enough? I had a dozen in a light blue container and after a week they were turning very olive and light.

I found that leaving them in a white cooler in water they tend to lighten fairly quick, but left in a white bucket with ice melting down (the Keep Cool Eel Bucket) , out of any light, but not swimming in water that the eels darken. After a couple days they are nice and black colored. |

Where have you been pops? I was beginning to worry. As for the picture, my wife would probably drop dead if she witnessed me doing anything resembling work around the house. |
It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind

That young man has a future, Mike... 
Yup, he'll be a salty old eel slinger by the time he hits his teens...  |

It was the hand of God working through your son's but alas the devil intervened and called you to your wicked work of collecting the vile serpents. 
BTW, God is a plug fisherman. |
Why even try.........
