oxygen for bass

[artcarney_agr]

Purity Party Ice is made from natural spring water and contains no chemicals. It's always worked fine for me over the years. I've only lost two fish over the last ten years of tournament bass fishing and both were a result of being hooked in the gill plate. Seems like a hook in the gill plate is almost worse than a fish swallowing it! Of course, I've had fish swallow the hook and released them alive. I've even caught fish that have had a hook in them for a long time, judging by the rust on the hook!

Anyone else ever caught a fish with a rusty hook in it?

Scott,

I've caught fish that were passing soft plastic baits and part of a hook, but that is it.

Yes, passing as in defacating.

Had several fish with old rusty hooks in them. The fish seem to be healty and once the hooks were removed they done just fine. As far as the chemicals go, how much do you all use for the livewells and do you use more if you have more fish in the livewell, not that I ever do. Looking to get some for the dog days of summer.

I would at least follow the directions on the product. I generally use a little extra. Not sure if that is good or not, but the product is designed to help restore the slime coat, have an antibacterial agent to fight infection, and is designed to calm the fish down.

Hope that helps,

Danny
