Thanks

I don't think you are going to find anyone who can legally sell eel here. Maybe you could find live eel in some ethnic fish markets?

You are in New York?  Might want to visit local bait shops.  In NY, it's only legal to have eels between 9-14" as bait.

not sure how that changes from state to state.

True, I've seen them at Gander Mountain here in Virginia also.
