Catch and release is a great product. It has always helped my fish especially if bleeding. Dab a little on the spot and they last all day

never seen anything like this, but would it be possible to drop a hose down 10' into the water to pull cooler water into the live well. it would have to be retractable (somehow). maybe even a separate pump with a hose attached just for the summer months???
how deep would you have to go to get cool enough water for the fish?

I would like to note that over 155 fish were caught and weighed in this tournament. Only eight died. That's pretty impressive for over all fish care in a summer tournament. I only singled out that event to point out that dead fish penalties aren't punitive enough, IMO.

I think the issue most are seeing isn't the ones weighed in dead, it's the post mortality a day or so later. I like the penalty idea though. When it start hurting the pockets it will atleast solve some of it

It is much easier to keep them alive all day than a fish caught in 25'.

It would get better water but without throwing a pump over or a having an extra with a hose I don't think it's feasible. It's not a bad idea though. If you were to pump in water from 10' down it would certainly be better than surface water

When it start hurting the pockets it will atleast solve some of it A 2lb penalty will also help with delayed mortality. Simply because all fish will be cared for better.  I like the idea personally, plus the 3 fish stringer. Not a fan of the July/August tournaments.
