Seems some people want to test out the theory that only boats with
factory live wells should be in tourneys and then they are going to
try culling also. Only participating boats will be allowed to try out
culling. I need to find out more info. The article in the Milwaukkee
Uranal/Sentinal was a little vague.


Sounds to me like they are saying that, for the purpose of the study, they
believe that the best live well technology is in the hands of the boat
manufacturers. They say;

The standards for all participating boats in the pilot tournaments require
a live well that:
Is an original manufactured part of the boat and has a capacity of at least
25 gallons.
Is in working condition and its operation must be demonstrated prior to
fishing in the tournament.
Is capable of continuously pumping fresh water into it.
Is capable of holding, re-circulating and aerating water.

The DNR and the tournament committee believe that boat manufacturers have
the latest technology with respect to live wells.

So it sound to me like the built in live well requirement is aimed at this
pilot program. It may or may not become a part of the formal regulations if
adopted.
