How to operate and use the livewell on Nitro 482

[GHPhotography]

Our tournaments are always catch, photo, measure, and release, but this weekend we are having a money tournament and we have to bring the 3 best large mouth bass back for weigh in at 1PM. I have had my 2006 Nitro 482 for almost a year but have never used my livewell. Can someone explain step by step how to use the livewell and keep the water fresh and oxygenated to keep the fish alive. I did buy a bottle of the Catch and Release from Academy.
Any instructions and suggestions appreciated.
Thanks...

what I would do if you don't want any dead fish is run your aeration on constant. That will fill your live well with fresh water all the time. Then if you have to make a run to a new spot I would put it on recerc till you get to your spot then put back on aeration. If you live in an area or the water is really hot you can also freeze a 500ml water bottle and put it in the live well to cool the water down a bit.

It can depend on what type of system you have. Presently mine is a simple install the overflow tube run the live well pump and the excess water flows out the discharge by gravity. Here is a site with views of systems and diagrams. Hope it helps.
