Default RE: several dead/dying bass at tournament...why?

i dont think 80% for every tourney die, maybe a handful. i'd accept 50% though. Probably just spawned out and the fish got overstressed. livewell water should be recirculated to stay cool and oxygenated. I hadnt heard anything about Geneva and that part of the state, and I havent heard about any excessive deaths in this area. LMBV almost destroyed Lake Fork, TX. Hopefully it stays down there. When we pulled our boat out of the Mississippi for the last time this spring before we took it to our cabin up north, we flushed the wells out with hot soapy water and washed everythign out. Ran the motor in a garbage can to get some water through the intake. Just to make sure we didnt take any zebra mussels up there with us.
