i have a big homemade live well in my boat from a cooler with a big pump. i also use it for catfish and big gar. not all were alive there were only about 80 in the bait tanks. we have the bait tank to store fish if you only keep a few here and there so you don't have to clean 5 crappie. you can wait till you have a good mess and then clean some fish. but the main reason is to purge them. its not that big of a deal with crappie but really helps out with bigger fish. letting them sit for a few days and take in the cold clean well water and flush there systems helps keep the meat cleaner. and the oxygen machine was just garage sale fine. work with what you got.
