    Lighten your livewell.

    If your boat has a divided livewell and you fish tournys alone you only need one side of the livewell. All that extra water is heavy. Get an inflatable beach ball and blow it up in the side you are not going to use. This will displace water and lighten your load. If you end up needing the other side just deflate the ball and drop in the lunkers.

    My livewell stays light. It never has any fish in it

    Very good idea! Plus when the fishing gets slow you can always beach your boat and play with the ball!
