    Default How do you keep your fish?


    When you catch a keeper do you:
    A) put it in a fish basket hanging overboard
    B) in the livewell
    C) iced down in a cooler

    It depends on where and how I am fishing, but most often I use a floating fish basket. If there is a lot of travel involved I will use the livewell.

    This only my opinion, but nothing you can say will change my mind. That makes it a FACT.

    This time of the year mine is going in a cooler half full of lake water (no live well). I will switch the water with ice when it gets warmer.
    Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.

    I'm with gabowman. I just throw 'em in a 5gal bucket full of lake water. Works just fine in the colder months. But, I do throw 'em on ice in the warmer months. CEB -

    I use both a live well and a cooler, anything that is small goes in the livewell, the ones I know were going to keep is going to the cooler.

    I always keep a milk jug or 2 of block ice in the freezer, take 1 with and keep it and enough water in a cooler to cover the fish I keep.

    If I am in my boat I use the live well and if need to will put ice in it in the summer time. If fishing off of the dock will use a stringer.

    Ours always go in the livewell and stay alive. When it gets hot, we add bottles of ice.

    I try to put mine in hot grease!!!!!:D

    Seriously, I ice mine down in an ice chest, don't have a livewell.
    I have lost fish before putting them in a fish basket.
