re: Live well - Keeping bait alive

Man... Keeping them alive can be very difficult, it really does take trial and error, it took me a full year of tourney fishing to get a method I am confident it.
To be honest a large ice chest (100+ quart) works really well, get a good protable areation system and a back up pump.
Once in the boat be prepared to babysit good fish (>25") by holding them up right for about 15 minutes once you put them in the box. They tend to want to go belly up because they fight to the death to get off and exaust all energy. They are not like a bass, you can not throw them in a live well and forget about them.

To add to the tips, make sure you don't get sunscreen in the baitwell. If you apply, make sure you use a bait net.
Also, when fishing gets superhot in the summer, I like to carry a seperate bucket and throw a handful of baits in so those folks in the front of the boat don't have to keep tracking to the back of the when the bite is on.
