Keeping bass in a livewell during the hot months and keeping them alive in a livewell are too separate thoughts. We hate to see bass perish in a livewell when it can be easily avoided with a little forethought and effort.

Here is a very thorough video on fish care in your livewells, especially during the summer months, to ensure you make it to the weigh-in with five bass all alive and healthy to fight another day.
This video covers everything from ice, aeration, additives, water levels, recooling and more.
