Couple of newbie questions ....

Is a bucket with a bubble box sufficient enough to keep the bass healthy enough to make it to a weigh boat?

How many weigh boats and how spread out are they?

I plan to release most of the bass but is it cool (or uncool) to keep a couple for dinner?

How many anglers usually do this event?

I know I don't really have a shot at winning, but I think it would be fun and I would easily learn $25 worth of information plus contacts.
