How long will the bass last in a bait tank that is pumping fresh water in all of the time? I had a dozen mackerel last a long time on the water. I think five bass would do okay.

I was thinking you checked in on the water. I didn't consider having to travel to check in. Just shows you how much I know about these tournaments.

Congrats tony!!!
I always keep my fish alive if they fit the livewell I had this huge sand bass one time went straight from the water into a cooler I could hear it slapping around inside for at least 25minutes on the freeway. Heck one rockfish was still alive at octicos (johnn's) house when we fillet them in his from yard. Some of these fish are pretty tough.

Congrats Tony. Way to represent.

To keep bass alive on the freeway just use an aerator. They suck for keeping bait alive, but work well for livewells. Just make sure you change the water before the long drive, and make sure there's plenty of water to make up for what sloshes out on the drive.

I don't know why I'm not surprised by this, enjoy Alaska. You need to change your screen name to Big Butt. CONGRATS!
