It would depend on how much fish I had in my freezer. No fish in freezer, light pink to stiff you eat.

I agree with you guys. Ice right away is best. I'm in Missouri, so I don't have water temps that are real high too much of the year. I just keep an eye on the livewells and hope not to see too many with that "faraway look" in theirs eyes. If they get laying in the bottom of the well for an hour, I just put it in the beer cooler. Kinda makes the top of the can taste a little funky, but I've gotten used to it. I don't like to clean them once they've gotten stiff. Good fishing, guys.

If the gills are still red to pink, I clean. If they're white, I toss. However, I keep a cooler with ice in it, and if any in the livewell start getting that faraway look as mentioned or die, I put in the ice chest right then.
I can remember when I was a kid bringing fish back on a stringer in the trunk of the car on newspaper, and imagine the days when people walked a mile or more back from the fishing hole to get their fish home. We did clean them immediately on our return back then.
Live wells are fine in the Winter and Spring. How long would you store your meat and fish at 80 to 85 degrees or higher, that is what you are doing to your fish. Ice those fish man. Use your live well late fall, winter and spring. Good fishing.!

could you just place a bag of ice in the live well to keep fish at least from getting spoiled if they die?
