I like the solid pvc solution. Turn it 90 degrees to drain. Keep it simple.
Besides, it seems like your problem is scales, not the drain. Always better to fix the cause than to treat the symptoms. Why are you getting so many scales off your bait? Something is wrong, scales = beat up bait.
Also, to drain the water you could just dump it out. It's just a bucket.

Biggest problem I've had is stuff clogging inside the pump, which is why I did this. I have a screen on my intake as well which minimizes most things coming through. Dumping it, I'm not saying I can't, but with the gopro, rods, 50 lbs of water, etc, it can get heavy.
