"ULTIMATE D.I.Y. LIVEWELL, You can do this! Build your own custom Livewell

Want to learn how to build a full custom fishing tournament grade Livewell? Want to learn how to build a full custom Livewell big enough for trophy catfish? In this video I give a general overview of how I built my full custom trophy catfish Live Well as well as my full custom live bait Live well. I feel like building from scratch has several advantages over building a live well from a cooler. Live Well cooler conversions have their place but for some people starting from scratch will perform better.

I watched it all , great video brother very well expand. That's a great DIY livewell . I may never make one but I love to see how ppl make they're stuff and what materials they use . I do allot of DIYs and im a bit of a perfectionist , so I mean this with all honesty that's the best DIY livewell ive seen on KZbin you got my vote Sir

[@hoosierhookerz8869]

Great video. I am in the process of building my own custom pontoon. The livewell situation has been driving me crazy. You solved all my problems. Thank you very much

[@jimhufford7328]

I watched it all ... finally. Switched away at the welding part last time I started the video but then found your video on tying sabiki rigs and subscribed. Also found TinyBoatNation from this video and planning the rebuild of my 40 year old jon boat. Adding a livewell to that rebuild brought me back to this video. Thanks for your great work.

Watched it all! Just found your channel and I am liking what I see! I am in the beginning stages of planning a fishing pontoon build of my own for my sons and grandsons and this information is so very helpful! Looking forward to watching more of your videos!

You mentioned about the perforated liner of the bait box, but didn't really talk about how you did it or what you used. Will you be making anymore videos on these tanks?

[@trophyhunter8615]

[@jamesgordon2892]

Ive watched this video twice just getting ideas and I couldnt remember your exact methods you used!

[@tabletproject227]

Watched it all. Had this same idea but was unsure about what material to use. I'll have to check out this aluminum composite board. Thanks for the video.

[@tabletproject227]

Mid-South Outdoor Life will do

[@scottkissinger5763]

Watched it all someday when I get the time going try it good luck in the upcoming season

[@ryanw9398]

Cool thanks for the video, came up with a plan to build something similar under my deck. I'll be building using the casting deck frame as a base and using rivets

[@338bundy7]

Watched it all!! Great video. Good thing I work for the state in the sign department. I might have to use some of them old signs.

[@derekwolford3948]

I think this is a great video...well done

[@shawneddy1711]

Watched it all. It definitely got me thinking out of the box. I don't have a welder, but there are no shortages of welders in my area, so that shouldn't be a problem whatsoever if I decide to make something similar to this. Thanks for making such a detailed video.

[@shawneddy1711]

@@catfishkarma1 The thing I like the most is just how pro grade/oem it looks for what your costs were. My cost may be higher for finding a local welder, but still crazy doable and affordable. I do have one question. What size rivets did you use?

[@treystroup9277]

Watched it all... Great video Quinton!!! I'm gonna use your idea for my revamped tournament tank as well as a new dry box for the boat. Perhaps I'll have it on board at Fishing for Freedom this year. Cheers!

[@3goutdooradventures871]

Awesome live well!!

[@3goutdooradventures871]

Mid-South Outdoor Life, No, our SeaArk boat has a bait live well and a 60 gallon for the big boys!!

[@tommyv715]

Watched it all. Now I am going to have to build one similar, and get rid of my big blue barrel.

[@robertchance7029]

Watched it all!

[@427vot]

probably some good ideas in hear for a rod locker too.

[@tasaman]

I need to buy a boat so I can build this tank. Really your build is very well designed.

[@whiskergetter1986]

Well starting to locate the materials to start this build. Hope mine turns out as nice as yours

[@whiskergetter1986]

4x8 sheet of Alumiboard $100 (sound close?) Got some 11 ga instead of 16 ga square tubing just because it was cheaper

[@jamesblankenship5638]

I watched the whole video. I have been hoping you would do a video on them.

[@justinfelts6650]

Watched it all forgot to mention how you did the rounded corners in the bait tank . Thanks for the info definitely got me thinking outside the box

[@jbaker4900]

I could be wrong, but it looks like some type of gutter guard in corners.

[@jackiestringer8755]

Good Video

[@shoreangler3383]

Watched it all! I can't find the building Lucille series...... love all of the shows. :)

[@MySORRELL]

THANKS

[@djcrisp4889]

Watched it all! Very informative since u couldn’t show step by step how u built it during ur build

[@officialWWM]

I don't know if you can get it where you live but at my local hardware store, I can buy that 25mmx25mm aluminium tubing and a bunch of plastic connectors that allow you to build all kinds of shapes. You just pop rivet it all together, no welding needed!

[@sofjanmustopoh7232]

Watch it all Hope you get the KZbin audience interaction brownies point 💪

[@claytong8605]

I watched the whole video. What kind of pump did you use in your big tank.

[@SoUThCReATiOn]

Excellent video! What kind of welder do you have I have been doing research for months for a good one there was one called a HYL ARC160A Stick Welder but its hard to find

[@matthewdrake5498]

hey did u just rtv the bottom in

[@MrGrizzlyMan1231]

Hey I was just wondering how u have Lucille built and where'd you get the material from

[@wheelinganddealing7802]

You can use a map torch and rods as well and weld yourself

[@KCraddock4]

What did You use to round the corners on the inside like you did with the smaller one

[@johnboy7518]

Watched it all! Do you worry about the boxes shifting around under power?

[@timjelam]

WATCHED IT ALL.

[@theairsoftguy72]

Hey all I'm looking to make this for my 15' 6" gheenoe, Any suggestions for pumps and such for the plumbing side of this? im planning on leaving it in the boat so it doesnt need to be mobile. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

[@UncleKrusty68]

What was the aluminum angle used for? I did a screenshot and still don't know why you used it.

[@douglaskates8384]

watched it all

[@kristenshimer5882]

I I have a question, did you weld the frame together or did you take the frame itself to get welded?

[@stevengray5676]

I’m from the Memphis area and didn’t know if you would be willing to share what metal supply shop you got these materials from. I’m seriously looking in to building one of these!! Excellent video!!!!

[@stevengray5676]

I sure will thanks for everything!!!

[@whoknows3347]

What makes it water tight

[@timedinger4197]

Watched it all. Would brazing the aluminum give enough strength? In any case -- cool video

[@badgerfishingcharters9933]

Watched it all!!! Great idea, I have one question.... What size holes do you recommend for the spray bar?

[@catfishkarma1]

Start small work up.

[@fishinthesouth3793]

Where did u get the board from

[@jessiehaddock8399]

Where can I get a frame built

[@TheCabanamancan]

I watched is all. Where do you live if I may ask. This was totally inspiring

[@matthewdrake5498]

watched it all great video just would like to know the demintions of your livewell

[@matthewdrake5498]

@@catfishkarma1 right I'm just figuring out price on what all the materials will be for my application and knowing the size of yours helps thanks for the reply keep up the great work and fish on. p.s. when's the next bumping video coming lol

[@solgerin4christ]

I like your build . Can you stand on the box? I was thinking of putting the box across the back of my boat , and if I get a 40 lb cat I’d prob, need to stand on the box to lift him out of the water.

[@catfishkarma1]

Absolutely standing on it is no problem at all.

[@ryanlynch1414]

Great video!!! After watching, I’ve changed my mind to build this style live well. Do you have a step by step on either of your wells?

[@scottprice2059]

Maybe I missed it... how is it water tight? Mo way the rivets are watertight lol

[@Hollywood-Cole]

What is the actual name of the panel board?

[@BigwaterBlues]

Hey bud what would it take for you to build me a tourney livewell?

[@catfishkarma1]

It would be obscenely expensive because I've been so covered up with my day job.

[@rjbarron8442]

How much to make me a small-mid sized on, and ship it to Baltimore Maryland. No specific spots, just a estimate

[@lisanew4119]

I know you welded the aluminum pieces, but how well do you think that these connectors would work? www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00J4P1ZAQ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_7?smid=A1H481IPHNMK5K&psc=1

[@deerkings]

You should have put rounded corners on them

[@deerkings]

@@catfishkarma1 with rounded corners bigger fish can turn around much easier to turn around. As i seen in my 40 gallon livewell that I had custom built but that's just me. But you did do a great video buddy.

[@deerkings]

Mid-South Outdoor Life but it was expensive to have it custom built out of aluminum and to have it shipped but it works perfectly. Not only I use it for a livewell I use it a a bait tank it works great for shad to that’s why I wanted rounded corners to so shad wouldn’t get red nose.

[@hiilbillybackwoods]

Why would that NOT get hot as hell? It is so thin..

[@fishhuntadventure]

Exactly. That’s why an insulated fiberglass live well makes so much sense. Although his aerator is an airyater and at his latitude the sun’s heat not UV rays give you a sunburn, and silicone is a “quality” product; therefore it defies logic.

[@cozziwysong3905]

good video but NO WAY in OHIO your building a box that big at that price just the Aluminum would cost $200.00 but still a good video

[@brantbullock8248]

Are you intrested in makeing one for me ? Kick you 50$ for the labor :)

[@scottydntno]

Most DIY videos are ACTUALLY DIY. not showing something you've already done. 🤦🏽‍♂️
