I am wanting to build or buy a large basket or other type container to hold and keep fish alive and well inside my boathouse ... My Brother had a 40 Gallon plastic barrel 1 1/2 “ holes drilled and weighed down full of crappie ( about 30 of them and was stolen from his pier ( tied up) last week... I am looking for ideals for me one to keep hidden inside of Boathouse.
The one Walmart sells Tomahawk is maybe to small for me...

I was going to say a lot of folks on Weiss use a 50 gallon barrel with holes cut in it! But That’s about as sorry as they come for someone to steal a mans fish ! I would think something like a chicken cage would work 18” wide 4’ long with a door or two . hook a snap to each end should or in the center should be able to drop it to the bottom and pick up when needed.
i would use a 65 gallon polly tank like folks put in there fields and bars to water livestok or you could build a chickin coup type box and just leave em in the lake
Gee people will steal anything that is not nailed down.
I'd stick with plastic. Only problem with a wire cage is that it will bloody the fishes faces up where they run into it. I know you're gonna kill em anyway when you clean em but I don't like anything to suffer. Even when I shoot a coyote I try to always make a shot that's a quick kill.
Watch out for the otters and coons. They can tear a cage up if not made strong enough. If your brother did not use chain on that barrel, an otter could have gotten it maybe.
