Now we're talking, nice ones!
RnR I have that same bait well in my Montauk so I'd be interested to see how/where you secured it to the deck. I see it in some pictures and not others so I assume it's removable, mine too. This year I plumbed a 54 qt igloo that serves dual purpose when I'm not live bait fishing so that's gotten more use this year but I keep the round one (Kodiak?) if I'm planning to use bigger baits or lots of them.
In the east they stock a hybrid / tiger muskie, it's a cross between a pike and a muskie. They are rare and although I've had a couple boatside encounters in the local lakes I've never hooked one, yet.
I built a mahogany rear deck years ago and have ran a strap through it around the tank. I did not want any mounts through the deck, because of integrety issues as well as tripping hazard when tank's not installed. The rear deck space is limited and I like it clear/uncluttered as possible for fishing. I wan not able to find any pictures of the install, but may be able to take a few this weekend. We got some rain and that makes me think of sturgeon. The striper are running too. I am using a transom mount pump on removable mount. Overall works well, but with the tank being on the stern, the bait can take a beating in the bay or ocean.
