If you can put culling straps on your fish or something to tell the difference then your good. You just need to be sure your livelwell can hold 10 fish for both of you.

With the smaller livewells it is aeration and RE-CIRCULATION. By just aerating the water the fish will be able to breath but will die from the exposure to waste products in the water so RE-CIRCULATION becomes a bigger factor for the smaller rigs.

You should be good then. I really recommend that you get some "Release-me" to add in there to keep them from beating each other up. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about, but....It's a chemical you add to the water that kind of "dopes" them, like bass heroine. You can get it at Auburn Sports & Marine and probably other good bass tackle stores.

Sadly, I did not upgrade the livewell in my new boat (price tag was already high enough).  I don't think it has recirculation, it just says areation with timer.  Am I going to be in trouble during tournaments, won't the water get boiling hot throughout the day in the summer? 
I don't believe it has pumpout either lol, oh well I'll survive.

Cool thanks, I can breathe easier now.

well i started the potholes tourny with a properly working livewell, and ended it at about 11:00 sat. morning with a dead pump. call me what you will (names don't bother me none) but i released 3 fish that weighed 7 lbs. and dropped out cause i did'nt want to be the guy that brought in a bag full of dead fish. yeah, they might have lived, but i did what i did. this was my first time in a tournament and the way things were going, i think i might have done alright. i had lots of fun and caught some nice fish. rest assured there will be no more pump problems in my boat in the future- exept finding a place to store them all  .

As I said Sat. afternoon, tough call, but a good one. The other option was to use your weight-in bag to add water to the livewell, something to consider next time. Good job anyways, it's good to hear that a member is willing to sacrifice a days weight instead of sacrificing their fish just to get on the board. My 2cents. Brian (The Weedwalker)
