ill try to get a good pic tonight when i get home... but its like 6 inches long maybe an 1/8 inch thick, very lightly colored, you can kind of see through the skin. i did find a pic that looks alot like it.. like i siad its so tiny its hard to make out anything on it.

However this pic, as well as the link i found earlyer both refer to them as glass eels or Elvers
