I watched this video two years ago when it came out but when I needed to search what the pros do to clean your livewells I clicked on yours first! Mine's been neglected and it's about to get squeeky. Hook em hard Mark!
That's a great tip on keeping your life well clean and ready for business. at first I did not think it was all that dirty. When you finish that's when I could see a big difference. Thank you for showing us how you take care of your boat. Also good luck for this coming season.
I was honored to have you in my backyard here in NC. It was the best day of 2019 to have met you at Bass Pro Shops. You and Wheeler are all I watch on TV. Stay country and thanks for taking the time to interact with us fishermen that cannot make it to the big league.
Very informative, just enough for the common man or tournament fisher to understand how and WHY to keep your livewells clean👍 Keep the great vids coming
Excellence starts by knowing the basics. Thank you for sharing an important part of fishing conservation. You also help us understand that being a pro fisherman isn’t all glamour. Thanks for sharing!
What up Mark, this youtube “suggestion” came up after I watched your video about the clear straw keeper that was just posted today. This makes me even more serious about putting me in the line for your boat in 2-3 years! You’re taking care of equipment ALL around! Let’s just say I had to dig some Red Bull cans out of a certain someone’s live-well the other day!😂 🤙🤛
Not being a tournament angler I only have my livewell once a year maybe...if crappie fishing and not bass fishing. But this was pretty interesting for sure. Thank you for the vid and the basic products and great instructions
When I finished fishing Old Hickory last time. I added soap to my livewells and it shook up all the way back here to Alabama. I rinsed them out in my driveway and looking good...
I don’t have a bot like that but maybe I would be a little careful of the bleach on near that carpet!!! When doing the lids that’s all I could think of.. lol Great video and best of luck this year
Good deal man, checking out videos of how guys do it. One thing I like to do is hit it with a vacuum to get the big chunks first so they don’t potentially screw up my drain valve. I once had a tourney where I forgot to clean them and had 3-4 little baitfish get puked up. Never forget to clean them after getting that smell out lol
Great video. Definetly a must to ensure our waterways and fisheries are safe from any evasive algae or bacteria. Also, what setting do you prefer recirculate or automatic when you store bass in your livewell? Again thanks for the vid.
Love the way you fish and handle yourself, from pre-fishing thru the tournament and how you relate to the public as well as to other pro anglers. Such respect you show! I hope you get it back 2-fold. Question about this simple, excellent video: do you have any concerns about how the bleach and/or Dawn affect the Oxygenator? I hand-scrub with baking soda and just a little water because of my concerns about them. But I always wonder if my concerns are ill founded. I don’t walk under ladders, either! Lol!
Mark, I was waiting to see if you filled the tanks up with fresh water and ran the pump when you were done. There is residue of bleach and soap in the recirculating system if you do not. It is a small amount but maybe enough to harm to the fish.
I use my bay boat livewells for bait only, no fish culling (mullet, shad, ballyhoo, shrimp, crab). When I go freshwater striper fishing I have a 50 gallon Creekbank filtered tank I use and load it down with shad. I clean boat baitwells and bait tank the same. I pour approx 1/2 gallon bleach in 50 gallon filtered bait tank as I am filling with water (about 1/4 gallon bleach in 30 gallon baitwells), filter in place with pump and aerator running. Fill the tank with water, let it run for 15-20 minutes. Turn off pump and let it sit for a few hours, no scrubbing needed. After sitting a few hours or until next day, run pump for a few more minutes, turn off pump and drain tank. Rinse very well with fresh water then repeat same steps with a box of baking soda added in water (no bleach). Few hours later or next day, rinse clean and sanitized tank. The baking soda neutralizes the bleach, there will be no smell of bleach and tank is ready for lively shad. This method has worked for me for 15+ years, never loose bait due to chemicals.
@markdanielsjr This is just another example of why I respect you as a person & a hammer on the water. Thanks M.A.D.Nificent #MDJ Always great concept as it relates to your content.
Mark, You mentioned that there is one other screen on the Ranger that you clean out. Where is it located? Is that the one at the bottom of the transom? Great video. Thanks. Just subscribed to your channel. Looking forward to more of your videos.
If you want to get rid of all the soap suds after all cleaning is done, get you a bar of regular soap & lather it up in your live wells it will get rid of all of the soap suds, just run fresh water in livewwells You Are welcome You are welcome Bucky. Bass Wilson, NC 27893
The problem with using hard bristles is it scratches your livewell. In the long run it creates more surfaces for dirt and grime to cling onto. A sponge brush would be better long term imo.
You are becoming one of my favorite anglers! Keep the videos coming
Awesome attention to detail ! You are a winner !!! Taking care of our water is necessary for survival on the planet !!! Thanks Mark

And it might come in handy someday!
I enjoy your videos, your attitude and work ethic. My God continue to bless you and yours.
Didn't know we had to do that...great tutorial...God bless
Very informative, just enough for the common man or tournament fisher to understand how and WHY to keep your livewells clean👍
Keep the great vids coming
Thanks for all the helpful fishing... now cleaning tips!!! Much appreciated Mr. Daniels!
When I had my Ranger a few years back, that's how I did mine. Took a while but livewells were clean! Never lost a fish!
Great video, alot of people probably never think about. Great conservation effort. Good on you Mark. We will be pulling for you.
Good video bud. Just subscribed!! Keep up you hard work. 👍🏼👍🏼
Jason Dill Thanks my man

Awesome video bro! You been my favorite angler since your rookie years. Keep up the good work and bring back the BPT W son.
Dude...Keep the videos coming! It is extremely inspiring to be able to see and get insight from pro anglers like you and Wheeler who post on RUclips!

Good video Mark. I'm surprised every day by what people find interesting to watch on social media. Good luck this season! 👍🐟🎣🎏
Been watching you since Circuit Breaker!! Love your style of fishing! Keep up the good work!

Awesome job MDJ
Nice Bro..I use dawn, white vinegar and baking soda for my live wells
0 disses? You're comin up but you'll really know you've made it when you get some haters. Cleanest livewells on tour right there!
DrFuNK Haters are always welcome lol 😂
awesome video.
Can't believe there's a thumbs down hater on how someone clean there own live well !!!

Terry Johnson Thanks for the kind words Terry. I’ve never had an issue using the formula with my Oxygenator. Works great for me
Thx, Mark!
Good luck on Hartwell !
Rodney Pratt Not fishing Hartwell this year but thank you 👍🏾
#5 place isn't Bad Cuz 😎👊 you did great
Great video...Keeping it simple! May I ask how you treat your live wells on tournament day?
Mark,
I was waiting to see if you filled the tanks up with fresh water and ran the pump when you were done. There is residue of bleach and soap in the recirculating system if you do not. It is a small amount but maybe enough to harm to the fish.
Telemark Mann Been doing this for years and never had an issue. Thanks for watching 👍🏾
MDJ. Loved it. How/what bar did you mount on your livewell lid for the culling tags? I have the same Cal Coast brand for my Ranger.
Coach Mark At the time (2 years ago) those cull clips came with a small mount
@@MarkDanielsJr Thanks. Love you and J. Wheels. Good luck!
Been looking for this for a while
Nice video. Gonna give it a try. My switch selector for my live wells is somewhat hard to turn. Have you ever had that problem?

Chris M yessir, I like it 👍🏾
Just got my first MR-6's from T/W and Wal-Mart!
Awesomeness
So are you running the pump in recirculate or auto? also does the screen on the back of the boat where the water dumps out screw off also?
Great video!
Way to go today!
Nice job 😊👍🏾
also where did you get the Ranger stickers for the lids on your livewell?
Track Trier Came on the boat
@markdanielsjr This is just another example of why I respect you as a person & a hammer on the water. Thanks M.A.D.Nificent #MDJ Always great concept as it relates to your content.
Mark, You mentioned that there is one other screen on the Ranger that you clean out. Where is it located? Is that the one at the bottom of the transom? Great video. Thanks. Just subscribed to your channel. Looking forward to more of your videos.
Mark, you got to get that MLF DUB
Ain’t no doubt 💯
Wait where are you getting the water from if youre not in the lake?
You aren’t worried about the bleach on the carpet and clothing? BTW very thorough video.
76mdw No sir!!
I like Latimer's Hydrogen Peroxide and Vinegar method better🤣 But no disrespect. I just don't like bleach near my boat period. Love your channel.
If you want to get rid of all the soap suds after all cleaning is done, get you a bar of regular soap & lather it up in your live wells it will get rid of all of the soap suds, just run fresh water in livewwells
You Are welcome
You are welcome

If my boat had livewells that's exactly how I would clean them.
Now we’re cookin with gas boyysss!
-skeet Reece
Out of all the fire content you've got that you haven't uploaded yet, you start with this lol. I'm jk looking forward to all your content MDJ.
I would just use star-san. the stuff people use for brewing beer.
Live and clean. Clean and live.LOL
Great video! Have you thought about using Simple Green?
Bradley Tower I haven’t, I like bleach because I know it kills bacteria
@@MarkDanielsJr- That it does...that it does.
The problem with using hard bristles is it scratches your livewell. In the long run it creates more surfaces for dirt and grime to cling onto. A sponge brush would be better long term imo.
It’s doesn’t happen in this Ranger live wells but that’ll work too I guess👌🏾
🇧🇷👍
Yo, I messaged Jacob but anyway I could link up with the clan and get y’all to sign a shirt for our kiddos
Genesis Fishing I would love to sign something for the kid just don’t know how we could hook up?
It’s OV over
Water and vinegar
Hopefully you don't accidentally bleach the carpet.
Ding
Do you worry that any of that bleach will get on the carpet
No sir
Gettin rid of that rona!
I thought that bleach would actually be bad to put in the live wells and kill your fish
