you can buy a "live well" kit for a ice chest from WallyWorld.

Howard, no offense but.... the word is IDEA..... sorry, that one just gets me

Anyhow, If you want a live well for cheap then nothing is going to beat a cooler.... You can add an aerator or you can set it up with an overflow and pump in fresh water.

Depending on your use though.... Live wells are for bait or fish that will be released after weigh in or when a bigger one is caught as in a tournament.

If you are fishing for food, a cooler full of ice is the way to go.

Don't know if this stands true in OK, but I always see nice true baitwells/livewells on craigslist for less than $100. Might want to check there.
