We have tried putting a rubber seal on the inside with a metal band that expands out but it didn't work. Anybody have any ideas on how to fix or fill the crack?

No idea if these are available for recreational but doubt they would be cheap for 24".. Digging out the pipe might be cheaper.. I believe in catch and release. I catch then release to the grease..
