Tournament Anglers: what's your preference when it comes to livewell additives?
U2- hands down. We never lost a minnow or fish at Classic.(The one we caught on day 1)
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.

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.
I clean my live well out with baking soda , then rinse well.
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.
