[QUOTE="Retired-Guy, post: 266242, member: 1735"] This was a great thread. I laughed my ass off reading the discussion between guywhofishes and johnr about johnr being too cheap to buy ice. I am kind of like that but last week I spent about $20 on ice because I had no choice. One of the comments toward the end of the thread said if you throw a northern in the live well, all of the walleyes will die. I can't say that this is true for sure but when I had my old Alumacraft Competitor with the live well on the left side of the boat, if you put a northern in the well the slime would clog the screen on the overflow to the point where if you left the pump on the boat would start to fill with water. Happened more than once. Guess the screen was to keep minnows from getting loose although I never did put minnows in the well. I am of the opinion that all that slime clogs the gills on the walleyes and that's what kills them. What do you think? I no longer worry about it because I will not keep a northern unless it is big and caught in cold water and then I put it on a stringer. I will not allow one of those skanks in my live well.
