BTW, Im no game hog. I release all bass I catch. I release all large trout I catch. I do like to eat fish and share fish with those that dont get to catch them. So I like to keep catfish, crappie and small, legal, trout and reds. Sometimes you gotta release some in some grease.

that metal one is cool, but I like the fact that mine doesnt sink to the bottom. Makes it easier to add fish.

I've seen folks on Belton use raccon cages with success

My success in life is measured by the number of hunting
and fishing stories that my kids can share with others

We welded a frame out of 3/8" rebar and wrapped it in fine chicken wire and float noodles on top to keep it where we can throw fish in it, then we have a swing over the water arm with a hand crank winch on it. We went round because fish tend to corner badly. I will have to snap a pic of it.
