RE: DNR's response to the dead bass question
Some other livewell tips for you. There are products sold to mix in the water that protect the slime layer on the fish and help to keep them healthy in the livewell. Rejuvante seems to be the most popular with the tournament fisherman and most all of them use these products and they do cut down on fish mortality. The temp. of the water is a big issue. If you take several 16oz plastic coke bottles and fill them with water, freeze them, then take them along in your cooler you can throw a couple in the livewell and keep the water cool. Change them out as you need to. You can also mix up the Rejuvanate and freeze this in the bottles, then take the cap off and let them melt and keep the water treated at the same time.
