That does happen, especially in clear water, I just live with it and find another brush pile. More fun to go exploring anyway. A DNR officer would not agree with your explanation........now son he would say.......Lol! You cannot have undersized fish period in the boat. Besides in hot water even with the livewell on full blast it stresses them a lot. Generally when the water gets above 70 degrees or so I ice the fish I want to keep then go back to the livewell in the fall. Kit
