General Fishing Tips / Re: Kill Bag Recommendations?
« on: May 15, 2024, 10:19:44 AM »
I don’t bring it on the kayak, but this is the one I’ve been using since 2021 for longer fish.
CE Smith - Tournament Fish Cooler Bag - Fish Bag Cooler for Fishing Accessories

Bag is 70 inches long and had no problem fitting a 60.75 inch fish, and can't imagine will ever get one much longer out here...
It’s held up pretty good but I am seeing a few seams pulling so might be time to upgrade.
Damage is probably my fault from putting two big fish (111 pounds worth) and a ton of ice in it multiple times…
It’s a good budget bag though…I leave 40 pounds of ice in Orion85, and kill bag inside truck.
If I get a fish I leave in water until ready to paddle in, paddle in as quick as I can, put fish in bag and dump the 40 pounds of ice on it and then drive to nearest gas station and top off with as much ice as I can fit in for drive home.
Hope that helps someone.
Sincerely,
Jim
