Soft sided cooler with an ice pak or bag of ice. I also poke hole in the plastic insert to drain some of the slime away

Ditto.
I don't like the mesh bag unless I'm deep wading

They live in the small cooler in the bakc of my truck in a three-bucket system w/ ice

Second the small cooler with an ice pack. Put damp newspaper in the bottom and wrap the ice pack with damp newspaper. Put the eels in the cooler a few hours before you start fishing. This way they will seem almost dead but once they hit the water they wake up.

If you buy the right cooler bag it will have a pocket in the front for terminal tackle and the top will open so you can store 6 or so plugs in it.

I think Back Beach just holds them in his mouth... by the head lightly with his teeth. The Skoal supposedly stuns them so they won't knot up on ya. He can fit about 12-14 in there......though most normal guys max out at around 3.
