that fits in my live well.

I tried to post the video, but I can't figure it out. Maybe someone can tell me what to do in order to pay the video and not just the picture.

Hey bud, I clicked on the pic and just watched the video from your photobucket account. I take it your wanting to keep shad alive right?

I did with a white bucket and it worked except for the outlet. It was the same size pvc as the one for the pump and so on this one I made the outlet larger and I used a blue bucket cause I read that color is less sressfull on the baitfish. I don't know if thats necessarily true, but I figure I want them as calm as possible before I cut their tails off and scale them a bit as I put them on the hook for a catfish to come swallow it up. Its the least I can do for them.

You are a kindhearted fisherman. I don't care what they say about you down at the marina.

Cool bud. I remember when I built my 1st bait tank. I think it was around 7 years or so ago, but I couldn't wait to get on the lake and try it out so I loaded up the wife and boy and headed to the lake as soon as I got off work. I filled that beautiful piece of work up with shad and scooted off to " the spot ". Before I even got there my wife said babe I think somethings wrong with your bait tank, water is pooring out everywhere. Lol! Lets just say it was a long evening. No hybrids we're caught and my bait tank was the best "shadkilling machine" on the lake, but it was still fun. Me and my 1st little boy truly bonded that night and we all had a good time feeding those dead shad to the marina cats. smile. Hope everything works out awesome.

No, not really. It takes up most of the room but still enough space for what I catch. I'm thinking of cutting into the seat and shave the foam so the bucket will fit in it next to the live well. The foam should help insulate the bucket and I can still use the water out of the livewell to feed the bait tank. Always looking to improve the measly stuff that I have.
