[QUOTE="sh00ter, post: 3223310, member: 24531"] Thanks for all the good info; I guess a teaspoon to a gallon for a soak is good or would it be more/less? I think if I soak I would catch, clean, soak, freeze so hopefully an overnight soak in the fridge before freezing in fresh water in freezer bags would be fine? I also found it interesting to have an ice chest for the keepers on a hot day. I'd "want" to use my livewell if I could and have them alive as long as possible before I froze them. That begs another question of if ice is necessary under that scenario? Let's say I went bass fishing (catch/release) and then decided to try for a few crappie or cats before I went home. Surely I could keep them alive in the livewell and then toss them in a bucket and take home with no ice if I live 15-20min from the ramp? I'm sure the catfish would be fine as they are more robust as mentioned but the crappie could spoil how much time in spring/summer/fall temps above say 50* if I have to load the boat and get home and maybe 45min before I could get them on ice if I didn't come prepared? Does anyone fish in spring/summer for keeper crappie with no ice on-hand? Finally, Dennis, on the Sooner lake thing; I did that once more than 20yrs ago while snowing and was catching good hybrids and say a lady catch the largest black bass I have ever seen (it had to be 15lbs guys) and then it came off up on the bank and flopped back in after she landed it. Long walk at that time to get where we needed to and had to use surf rods to cast far enough towards the plant. [/QUOTE]
