I usually just put them in a bag and throw them on top of the ice in my bait cooler. They go dormant on the ice, but as soon as their in the water they liven back up. I've never had a problem keeping them that way.here is a good trick take a 5 gal bucket and cut the bottom off it2-4"" then drill holes in it with a 1/4 in bit now take that and put that inside another 5 gal bucket put the eels in the bucket and put ice on them this will keep the eels out of the water in the bucket the ice with slow them way down making them real easy to hook if you are going to let the sit on the bottom circle hook in tail if your going to slow retrieve hook thru eyes or lips

I've never kept them that long. I don't bring them home with me, just keep them in a bag on ice while I'm fishing.yea that works also but you have to watch them a little more closely
sometimes I have the eels for a week
