Hey BN did you find out what the problem was with your livewell?
Jiggen Den....i thoroughly cleaned and sanitized my livewell and hoses leading into the compartment area along with rinsing with water.
I'm thinking that even Though the water temps were like 78 degrees, my aerator only recycles the water every so often. With the added Oxygenator device installed, it's possible the fish was oversaturated with Oxygen. Not totally sure as I've this device since last year.
With the warmer temps, i will be bringing frozen ice bottles to help reduce the heat stress inside of the livewell.
In addition, i will be bringing a backup aerator that i can manually turn on and off at my choosing.
Nothing really seemed to be wrong other than hypothizing the above theories.

Yeah i believe so. Lol.
Update...so after taking my stopwatch out and watching how longbthe variable aerator kicks on and off, I've determine that it kicks on for exactly 1 minute but not necessarily with the force/pressure one would expect from OEM equipment. The next interval period is about 3 minutes before it kicks back on. So with that said, taken into consideration the water temps and outside heat temps, i don't believe enough freshwater was circulated between both livewells to adequately aid innkeepjngbthr bass alive.
As a test case, I'm bringing my auxiliary/backup high performance aerator to see how the Bass react with that combination. If they fair well, i may just end up swapping out the old OEM aerator for an upgraded one with more variable timing settinga and a higher flow.
