The present invention is a collapsible bridge net having a comprising bottom ring or hoop with netting to form a base; vertical netting that is connected to the bottom ring and extending to a larger top ring, which is formed by the connection of one or more rods by a fastening means. The rod(s) have loops permanently attached positions equidistant from each other when the top larger ring is formed, and these loops accommodate 4 supporting ropes. The supporting ropes are connected together by a carabiner which also connects the ropes to a draw rope used for lowering the bridge net into the water and then raising it up out of the water with the catch load. The rod(s) may be disconnected to facilitate the folding of the bridge net for storage and ease of transport, hence the collapsible feature.

Disclosed are livewell systems and methods of operating livewell systems. A livewell system may include a livewell tank having a chamber formed therein, a fill sensor configured to detect a fill level of the chamber, an intake pump configured to selectively convey water into the chamber, and a control unit including a processor and a memory storing instructions. The processor may be configured to execute the instructions to receive a fill signal, determine whether the chamber is filled to a predetermined fill level; and in response to the fill signal and a determination that the chamber is not filled to the predetermined fill level, cause the intake pump to convey water into the chamber.

A fish bucket assembly for containing fish caught while fishing includes a bucket that has a plurality of apertures each extending into an interior of the bucket to pass water into the bucket for sustaining a fish in the bucket. A toroid is positioned around the bucket and the toroid is comprised of a buoyant material to facilitate the bucket to float in water for keeping the fish alive in the bucket. A lid is removably attachable to the bucket for closing the bucket. The lid has a hole extending through the lid to facilitate the fish to pass through the hole to deposit the fish in the bucket. A chute is coupled to the lid to direct the fish into the bucket.

A modular apparatus and system for managing the temperature of a livewell or other container housing water, and an associated method for installing the same. The system featuring a self-contained fluid line in communication with a first fluid line, which is in fluid communication with the livewell. The modular apparatus generally featuring the system and an enclosure. The enclosure can be located adjacent the livewell and detachably coupled to a fishing vessel. The modular apparatus and system can further comprise a condenser, which can be a forced air coil unit, a liquid-cooled unit, or a cold plate heat sink unit.

A multi-functional wild game tote that functions not only as a lightweight, convenient and compact carrier for one or more game animals such as birds, small mammals and fish harvested in the wild, but also as a multi-purpose tool having numerous interchangeable hunting tools useful when hunting wild game, especially wild turkeys. The carrier function of the wild game tote is provided by an ergonomically designed, elongate, rigid handle member having opposite ends and one or more cords extending through the handle member for carrying the harvested game. The multi-purpose tool function of the wild game tote is provided by hunting tools that are detachably mounted on both ends of the handle member such as a scale for weighing the harvested game, or a blade-sharpening stone for sharpening a hunter's knife. The tote also has hash markings on the handle member that denote the measurement of length.
