I asked this question in a couple of threads regarding tournaments, and haven't really pushed for, or received an answer. So I will pose it on it's own.

I see alot of people get all excited when discussing features of certain boats, that this model or that have larger livewells, or you can get a Muskie version with a larger livewell. Alot of people get all fired up in their opposition to transport tournaments. Many of these are the same people who put a lot of emphasis on livewell size when making a boat purchase.

My question is, why such an emphasis on livewell size when you are so opposed to transport tourney's? I've never had a muskie in a livewell in one of my boats, and don't forsee the day I will, unless I partake in, and actually catch a fish in a transport tourney. Frankly, when I bought my boat, and looked at the livewell, I envisioned walleys in there, not a muskie. What say you?
