hi, i was wondering if any of you have used the toho rig livewell, and if you liked it? please tell me what you did and didnt like about it! and is there a way to plum it in permanently with a through hull pump and drain kit or is that not a good idea? will the toho livewell keep 5 fish alive for a day on the lake, and also do you think here is a better thing i could use other than a cooler, i dont think i like that idea too much. thanks

here is a link to the item on bass pro-

The Toho-Rig Livewell I've had for the last two years has been great it's either in one of the boats or the back of my pickup. I replaced the straps with rope handles to make it easier to move. I've not had a problem with the fish staying alive all day in mine. I use a attwood waterbuster portable bilge pump to fill and empy mine. Very handy and easy to use. https://www.amazon.com/attwood-4140-4-Attwood-WaterBuster-Portable/dp/B000AP2XS2
 
I installed one between the seat bulk heads. Half inch styrofoam construction sheet foam beneath and on sides and ends insulates it. I didn't want to drill holes in my hull or risk leaks from the well into the boat, so I too use a bilge pump to fill it and to empty it; just a vinyl hose and pump wire taped to it that is long enough to be tossed over the gunnel to fill the well.

Works fine, keeps fish alive all day. Obviously, when it's full, the boat is heavy.

here is my livewell setupe. Has a fill pump with shutoff valve. Recirc pump with pump out. My intent was to make it push button operable but also removeable. Posting just for ideas in case you have to go cooler route.
