I'm finally starting to do a little more work on my 14' jon, and I'm doing the livewell next. What size coolers are y'all running? I had no idea most of the 120qt+ coolers cost over $100. Would a 106qt be big enough to hold a limit of bigger fish somewhere like Varner?

I found a 106qt locally for $20, but am concerned it may be too small.

Thanks,

Adam

What is the # of fish for your limit? 4,5,or 6 would make a big difference in big fish. I fish a couple of tourneys in Canada and the limit is 4 fish. I use a 100qt cooler with the aireator running constantly, put additive in the water (Catch and Release aid by Sure Life) and have had 17# (the most ever for me) in there with the water temp. up to 85 degrees and have never had a problem. I do change the water alot. Was also recommended to me to put ice in the water to keep it down to 65-70 degrees and put 1oz. of 3% peroxide per 4 gals of water. Hope this helps you.

P.S. one of the members on here who goes by the name of Lane can help you out a great deal, she did me, and she and her husband own Sure Life. They advertise on this forum. I'm sure if you have question, you can P.M. her and she'll answer anything you need. Can also go to www.sure-life.com

Adam,

the cooler we use in my boat for the tournaments is a 120 qt. I bought it a Wal Mart for 50.00.
