  • What's the best way to keep LG alive till weigh in?

    I am going to be fishing in a company sponsored bass tournanent next month with a weigh in. Most of the fishermen are going to be in bass boats but a couple of us yakkers will have access to spots fairly close to launch area that they can't get to. The problem for me is I have always been catch and release. I am looking for suggestions on what the best way is to keep my catch alive till weigh in is?

    Thanks,
    Mark

    How about a collapsible fish basket?

        Large PVC pipe with holes drilled along the length. Hang it over the side.

            These worked great back in the day when I used them.

              Thanks, I didn't think the basket would work, but after your suggestions I found a larger size than the ones I had seen before.
              Pinch, that is a really cool idea but kinda out of my budget for one shot deal.

              I think I will try the cooler idea at some point.
              Thanks again

                I occasionally use the pvc pipe setup for stuff I catch to use for livelining. It would work fine and very cheap to do. However, I only use it for bait fish. If you want to release the fish relatively unharmed, you should use a file to clean up the inside of the holes you drill in the pipe or else the fish will tear itself up inside there.

                I always wanted to make a diy livewell myself also.
