Fish mortality issues
Message:
Has anyone experienced post weigh-in mortality issues lately? We have a night club tournament coming up on Candlewood. Last year, around this time, we used a three fish limit with great success. I'm trying to determine if it would be a good idea once again.......

Mike, a 3 fish limit is great for a night tourny, the largemouth have no problem with 80 degree temps but the smallies WILL DIE, what I do is carry a cooler with frozen bottles of water and add 1 bottle every time one melts, which is pretty often and keep your pumps running constantly, also I add Catch and Release powder to keep the stress at a minimum. dont forget your boat is pulling water from the surface which is very warm. GOOD LUCK.
