It wasn't kept in a live well, it was just relocated a couple hundred yards , thanks for all the well wishers, gbfisher, I love the boat, and it didn't seem inhumane, it's a fairly big livewell, but I understand your point and others, but that being said, I have an awesome pic to remember it buy, and it still swam, away, one fish was caugt in the evening and the other mid afternoon, The only big tip I would have as soon as the lure hit the water, I would pull 1 ft and then let the lure flutter for a second and both hits were right on the flutter, In september on Gbay, I have some decent pike in the same depth of water
