We have secured our 2 weigh boats, thanks to Steve O. and Chris F. These guys donated their time and vessels last year too! Thank you!!!

The people that generously step up make this so easy and rewarding for me.

Does everyone pretty much use a livewell to bring fish to weigh boats? Anyone have other ways in which they can transport the fish safely?

Might try using one of those floating fish baskets that I see trout fishermen use to put your fish in. Then call one of the weigh boats immediately.

I used a collapse able bait cage a few years back. Worked well but lots of drag when moving from pt A to pt B.

Bass are pretty hardy and 14+ inchers are hard to come by. If you get one and do not have a livewell, I'd suggest just using a 3 or 5 gallon bucket with bay water in it and get it weighed and back in the water. Mesh bag or fish basket in the water is another decent option.

Well, just signed up - and I'm considering on trying to catch my first legal halibut (in my PA) at this tournament.

Thanks for the suggestions.
