I have been able to keep eels alive on ice for at least 24 hours, the trick is to not let the melt water and slime accumulate in the bucket. Nice thing about live eels is they stay alive without too much fuss.

Some people use three 5 gallon buckets, a bottom bucket to catch the slime and melt water, a middle bucket with holes drilled in it for the eels and a top bucket drilled full of holes with ice in it. Stack the three buckets together and you are in business.

I store my eels between trips in a stream in a bucket full of holes, with a lid of course. If you are storing them you'll want to paint the bucket black on the inside to keep the eels dark.
