I agree with you guys. Ice right away is best. I'm in Missouri, so I don't have water temps that are real high too much of the year. I just keep an eye on the livewells and hope not to see too many with that "faraway look" in theirs eyes. If they get laying in the bottom of the well for an hour, I just put it in the beer cooler. Kinda makes the top of the can taste a little funky, but I've gotten used to it. I don't like to clean them once they've gotten stiff. Good fishing, guys.
