Glad to share this with you.<br />Some of this has come full circle and used today in some bass tournaments as described in this blog which has been implemental in reduced tournament bass mortality significantly. The tournament fish care procedure discussed in this blog was presented many, many years ago back in the 1990’s by Gene Gilliland before “oxygen-injected livewells” were accepted as “vital” and became popular in a few bass tournaments. <br />Gilliland an innovator in the bass tournament industry (tournament fish care business) , also included anglers and tournament bass boats in this fish care process not dodging the responsibility of the angler to provide the same oxygen water quality parameters found at the weigh-in and the short transport on the live release boat. After all, anglers are responsible for fish care most of the day. The quality of vital tournament bass care (insuring minimal safe oxygenation continuously for the all the catch) provided at the weigh in through final release is extremely different than the routine care provided all day in bass boat livewell by contestants – this water quality paradox continues to date, the double standard is alive and well and accepted as normal and no one squawks. At the end of the day when the angler arrives at the weigh-in with a winning limit of bass in the livewell, you will never see any tournament official test the DO Saturation in any boat live well in the summer like the DO testing in the release boat tanks or holding tanks, never! Are livewell really function when they contain a heavy limit of bass in the summer? <br />Go to this webpage and scroll down a little over half way down the page and see Gilliland’s thoughts about an “Ultimate Fish Care System” that applies to tournament directors and tournament anglers in an effort to provide the best tournament bass care possible.<br />Fishing Tournament Mortality http://oxyedge-chum.com/bass-tournament-mortality/<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2090203624913866023.post-9244303584816449662015-10-29T02:56:59.100-07:002015-10-29T02:56:59.100-07:00Funny deal.

NO OXYGEN all day provided by fishermen in 7-8 hour all day bass boat ride.<br />What a paradox of tournament bass care, when and where the fish get the oxygen. <br />Oxygenation of Livewells to Improve Survival of Tournament-Caught Bass by Fishery Biologist Randy Myers and Jason Driscoll TPWP, Inland Fisheries Division, San Antonio, TX Publication 6/2011 <br />http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/fishboat/fish/didyouknow/inland/livewells.phtml<br />The best fish care provide by tournament officials during the weigh-in show and release boat ride and far less than the best bass care all day provided by the fisherman is the real deal. And they (the fish experts) say there’s a problem with summer bass tournament mortality… wonder why?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2090203624913866023.post-73364594256975785062014-09-06T05:04:53.789-07:002014-09-06T05:04:53.789-07:00There are lots of fun in fishing when i was on tri...There are lots of fun in fishing when i was on trip with my family i enjoyed very much and i have some unforgettable moments <br />of fishing for me that was a great day on water !!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.globalfishingcharters.com/regions/united_states/florida/naples" rel="nofollow">Fishing Charter Naples</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01209344928400231340noreply@blogger.com
