Has anyone built their own live well?

dodgeman

My boat has two livewells but they were made for crappie and not bigger cats. For my general fish, I now carry a cooler with some ice. However,
if I try to fish some tournaments this year, I'll need something bigger. I was thinking maybe a 100 quart cooler rigged with two pumps (input and output).

If anyone has done this, how did you do it?

Dodgeman,

Not sure if this is the thread that you found, but here a link to the parts list that Simon put together. On page one of this thread there are pictures. If this is the one that you found them maybe it will help someone else that is looking at building a livewell.

I have added a 20 gl. bait tub to my pontoon. I'm only using the pump that came on the boat.
