80 Gallon LiveWell Build - Simple, Effective, Affordable!

Building a portable catfish tournament livewell that can be used to recirculate the water within the well or bring fresh water in from outside the boat. Most of the supplies can be found at your local hardware store.

Instead of pumping it out, why not just have an overflow valve/tube? You would never have to worry about over filling or the level. Just wondering if I am missing something crucial.

You never cease to amaze me with this stuff. You’re a genius lol.

I really like the adjustable part at the end. Very smart.

I made one out of a smaller aluminum tool Box but I just throw a pump over the side with no through Hull and I also insulated the inside of my tank with some foam and painted it with that rubber paint that seals it to keep the heat out

U really simplified a subject that I was making more complicated than it needed to be. Thank you

[davidwalker]

Man, that's awesome brotha. Gotta build me one for my boat, for tourneys this year. You couldn't have posted it at a better time. Thanks!

[dwaynebottcher]

Love your idea and how you did everything I'm currently building a catfish boat and was looking for a great idea for a big livewell for big catfish your idea is awesome

[Westtexascataddict]

Looked at a bunch. Built this one love it!

[mickysmithiii]

That's a great idea and awesome execution, but My boat isn't big enough to hold an extra 640 lbs of water+ tank. Wish it was, but sadly it's not. I still hope you guys do well in the upcoming tournaments, and the live wells perform as well as they look. Tight lines, and sore lips fellas.👍

Awesome vid, great tutorial. Keep them vids coming

[BigCountry]

Great idea! I'm totally going to build one this year. Thanks again for another great video Brother! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

Looks like chocolate milk in all our lakes right now. A week of snow and ice, then a week of melt runoff, then a flood. Hope the weather settles down soon.

Very fine job. Always enjoy your videos.
My tank just has a high water overfill. I turn the pump on and let it run as the water gets high it just runs out the over fill. When the boat is running I have a Metal Marine pump kit that has a lift arm and spray head to keep air and water moving. Tank only needs two holes, one for the inflow, one for the over fill.

That's a great DIY brother very nice and original never seen one but COOL

[J-Rigby]

You can put a float switch on the inflow pump so that if the water level gets too high it will automatically shut off so that your output pump can catch up. No valve restriction needed.

Looks awesome. Great info and walk thru on the livewell build.

[bubbz]

Looks great Hagen!

If you want more oxygen pumped in look at the flo-rite venturi tubes. What i put in my livewell haven't lost a fish yet and they are super active coming out

This is awesome that you posted this. Been watching videos most of the evening on DIY livewells lol. Thanks Hagen, great video as always brother.
