A live well buddy is used to contain fish or other catch in a fishing boats live well, keeping the catch safe and fresh and allowing the user to remove the entire catch at once. A net is perimetrically connected to a flotation ring, forming a live well chamber within the net. Fish are placed within the net through the flotation ring, the user may remove the entire catch by grasping and pulling the flotation ring and attached net out of the live well along with all the fish contained therein. A plurality of weights may be connected to the bottom of the net to keep the bottom portion of the net sunk to the floor of the live well. A stretch-on cover with a slit may be attached atop the flotation ring, providing a cover for the live well chamber while allowing fish to be placed into the live well chamber.
