If you use a bait tank, which bait tank to you use?

I'm planning on getting one for the pontoon boat - looking around
there doesn't seem to be a lot of choice.

I just did 'bait tanks' on Google and came up with all kinds. So,
there must be something more you want than your basic bait tank. Or,
you're looking to save some bucks. This guy's got a bunch of them:

Yeah - I must have used the wrong search words. Look like a dork.

With your abilities, why not build one?

Actually, I'm thinking of converting the cooler in the front of the
Ranger console to a bait tank - it's a 25 gallon cooler, round and is
connected through the bilge for emptying. The problem is running the
aerator water to the cooler - that is definetly going to be a problem.

Then again, recirculating the water would be a good choice as there
are different oxygenation and anti-foaming additives around - add in a
filter system and the whole thing might just work.

But this is more for the pontoon boat than the Ranger - the Ranger is
a seperate deal entirely.
