No expert, but I was part of a successful transfer of a 6 lb NLMB in Ohio.

I recommend you put a small amount of PURE salt (no arsenic additives!) in the tank, along with a dose of fish tranquilizer that is sometimes used in livewells. Keep it cool but not cold.

When you arrive at destination, gradually add pond water to your tank to help fish acclimate before releasing.

Good luck!
