i use the "catch and release calming livewell additive" stuff at bass pro. one capful is all that's needed. you get lots of bubbles and kinda of a greenish tint to the water but fish are always frisky and good to go at day's end.

**sorry I entered it wrong. my phone only showed me some of them and didn't think that was the one I use!

I've always been a big fan of Sure Life products. Catch and release for regular live well treatment, and please release me for injured fish. A couple of capfuls will typically do it as far as live wells go. If you deep hook a fish take the please release me mix it up into a paste and apply the paste to the bleeding area.

Catch-N-Release and Please Release Me. If it's not from Sure-Life Labs, I won't use it.

Please Release Me or Catch and Release from Sure Life. Fill the live wells away from the launch area and add Sure Life. Keep livewells on recirculate. If you change the water mid day add more Sure Life. Add ice in warmer months and use a floating pool thermometer to keep livewell water temp around 70 degrees. Go to Sure-Life.com for more info on fish care.

used please release me for years and highly recommend it. I put a cap full in each live well with aerator on timed and oxygenator on and never think twice.

I have always used Sure life products but I have switched over to G Juice this year and must say I haven't had a single issue with fish care.

Water from the lake and oxygen. During the summer I might rub some sure life on a bleeder to stop that. I have noticed that just good lake water that gets replenished frequently does better than anything else

Don't forget to put on recirculate while using it, adding fresh water ever 30-45 minutes. And hydrogen peroxide is like adding straight oxygen

Catch-n-release is awesome! I had a 6 pounder eat a 2.5 Squarebill to his gills. I was sick as I just knew he was going to die on us. Bleeding like crazy. Had catch-n-release in the livewell and sprinkled a little where he was bleeding and he was good as gold at weigh in 4 hours later. You could see how it coagulated the blood. I was able to pull the blood out of the livewell. It was just crazy how fast it sealed him up. Great stuff!!

Catch and Release gets put in the livewell. Please Release Me gets put on injured fish. Also keep a large bottle of hydrogen peroxide on board as well. In the heat of the summer I'll add ice. Use a floating rubber ducky pool thermometer to help monitor the temperature.
