Ok, Got ya what additive do you use? Never really had a problem with keeping fish alive but might have to get some to keep on the boat incase.

I prefer Bassmedics but its getting hard to find. Catch and Release is ok and Please Release Me is ok too. BTW Ive never had a tournament fish to dir nor have I had to weigh in early due to a stressed fish.

Only problem I have ever had was at the championship last year, when my live well pump when't out and I had to had bail water in to fill the live well. I am sure the fish were stressed but they were alive and did go into the tank for release. That's why I was asking about the additive it would have been nice to have some to add.

If I remember correctly Minnermans brother had some stuff called Tournament Ice that was supposed to be good.

Tournament Ice works well and so does a liquid additive called U2. In a pinch Hydrogen Peroxide from Walmart will help but nothing beats an oxygen system that's proper regulated.
