Live well additives - best?

[Mean519]

Which live well additive do you use/like best to keep fish healthy until weigh-in? Rejuvenate...Please Release Me...U2...Catch and Release? Heard some like to mix it in water bottles, freeze 'em, then put them in the well with the cap off to keep the temps down and slowly release the additive as the ice melts.

I use rejuvenate. I haven't lost any fish using it and my fish are usually full of life when I pull them out of the well

U2 is the best product out there, Please release me and Rejuvenade are not liquids and takes awhile to dissolve and they also have a shelf life of 1 yr. If you run any kind of Oxygenator system Please Release me and Rejuvenade will harm your units also.

+++ U2 Fresh Water Pro Formula is the best IMHO. I have had issues with Rejuvenade my self. U2 is very similar to the stuff they use to transport live fish to market. It is easy on the fish and not harmful to humans who consume their fish. Since I switched over, and I also use the Oxygenator Live Well System, I have not lost a fish and when I take the fish out of the livewell they are in good shape. 1/2 ounce will treat a 30 gallon livewell.

Rejuvenate for the most part. This weekend I tried hydrogen peroxide because I have been hearing that it helps a ton. Bullshit. I weighed my first dead fish and the others were not far behind. I'm not sure if the rejuvenate countered with the hydro and hurt them or people are full of shit. I'm going with the full of shit.

That's correct on the 1 yr shelf life. A fishing buddy from CA had all of his fish die one tournament as he had a bottle close to 2-3 years old (sitting in the sun, etc). He learned the hard way about shelf life of this product. Just be sure to use the recommended dosage and keep those pumps on all the time during the warmer months. Bring ice too as it helps considerably.

No additives and haven't ever weighed in a dead fish..
