Question for the Bass Fishermen!

If I keep a fish in a live well for about 4 hours is it possible for him to shrink in size?? (In length)

I'd say if he was 20" right when you caught him, he will have shrunk about 4" in 4 hours and lost at least a pound

I wouldn't think so. I've kept fish that were barely barely keepers, and then been checked by green jeans way later and they still be good.

I wouldn't think they would in a live well. Once on ice though, they can shrink a tad.

Yes, they can shrink a little (like 1/10th of an inch). Especially if you throw a bunch of ice in there and take em on a rough boat ride. Lake Fork trick.

If you have one that is just over the slot limit you better measure it before bringing it in.

Uh oh.. Short fish in the livewell? Did you get stopped by WLF?

Live fish -- no.
Dead fish -- yes.
Dead fish -- yes.
