    I have only had fish die one time in 10 years in my livewells. I don't fish in extreme heat. I suppose that has a lot to do with it.
    I'm sick of following my dreams. I'm just going to ask them where they're goin' and hook up with them later.

    Does anyone use soap or detergent to clean out the system? A guy down here says to put a bar of lava soap in the livewell to clean it out and treat the whole system.

    We use Rejuvinade. It does a great job. I hear of bass guys catching a fish deep and pouring it straight into the bleed to get it to stop. Never tried that but never lost a fish with it and keeping the water temp right.

    Rejuvenade has saved several bleeding fish for me but I have never tried pouring in into the fish just used as directed.

    Rejuvenade seems to work fine for me. I have heard of using it on a bleeder, but never tried it. However, I keep a mountain dew in the boat for that. I was told about this a couple of years ago, but did not believe it until I tried it. Something about the citric acid in mountain dew (or other citrus sodas) that helps with bleeding. It really works, and seems alot less harmful than dumping concentrated chemicals on a fish.
