    RE: Why Post This

    There never enough info in a media article or responce. There will always be tidbits that can offer another view. Iwork in an environment where I must resond in a timely fashion to a large amount of complaint calls. My customers are the tax paying public that feel they have say so in a Gov./Public system. 99% OF THESE SITUATIONS ARE CLEARED WITH JUST A FEW SIMPLE FACTS OR THE UNTOLD STORY THAT THEY DID NOT KNOW WHEN THE LOBBIED THERE COMPLAINT.

    Chances are the article did not tell all. Were the tourney fish release in different areas or dump in one place? Only the crew of the release boat really know for sure. What was determined the cause of the prior fish kill? And so forth. The article only gives enough info to bring about this type of discussion, which is good if something positive can come from it.

    Here's my question to ponder. One of the biggest groups that would take a loss if the fishing business took a hit and depreciated would be the boat manufacturers. Surely they have researched the mortality of fish vs. fishing, and if there were ways to make livewells more reviving for held fish, wouldn't they accomadate these ideas? Everyone who has posted on the measures they take in keeping fish in there livewells is great. One thing I have not seen mention is the actual adding of air/oxygen into the system. you can drop a small air pump into a minnow bucket to prolong the life of minnows, what about small air pumps tee'd into aeration lines to do the same for livewells? Might work. But it seems some boat manufacturers would already have thought of it.

    My Opinion!

    You're right about the oxygen adding. My Triton has a pro-air system. This is a way of recirculating the water that adds air to the water in the livewell. I have to air intakes on the gunnel right behind the driver's seat. If fishing in hot weather, I'd have that on all the time. Well, actually the few times I've needed the livewell, I keep it on... just don't need it that often. Also the one guy's idea about adding hydrogenperoxide has me intrigued. I need to look into that. For me, the main thing is we are all discussing ways to try to help the successful release of healthy fish that will LIVE!!!
