Couple of things come to mind - temp and size.
Overloaded livewells kill fish -- better to have fewer fish in there that last longer than too many that die off.
Temp -- watertemps in wells get high quick, macs especially do well in colder water. But don't just throw ice in there - it will melt and dilute the salinity. Take 2 liter bottles, fill them with water and freeze -- they will chill down the water without adding fresh to the mix.
