I agree. I fish a lot of tournaments and just paying close attention to the condition of your fish can go a long way in their survival. This time of year when the water is super hot and had low oxygen is the worse on those fish. I fish from an old boat and my livewells don't have a resirculator so its important that I carry lots of ice and make frequent stops on long runs to pump in as much fresh water as I can. If I see a fish that's struggling I will just hold it upright with its mouth right in front of the fresh water being pimped in. This has saved quite a few for me
