I also lost a little guy who borke off my hook, while CCB was there.
Now to calm an eel down, you simply take a pair of pliers and grab the hook. while you hold it by the hook grab the eel in front of the anal vent, now slide your hand back to just behind the vent. you should be holding it just behind the vent, about where the weed is in the pic above, put a little presure on your grip and lift. From what I was told as a kid, this is where their main nerve system is. By applying slight pressure you relax the fish. I don't know how true it is, but it works 99% of the time.
If that don't work for you then just lip them like a bass.
