Kill bag recommendation

I have a Katch Kooler which is good enough to transport. I need one that I can actually use while kayaking. Its a pain washing dried blood on my kayak.

Im looking at FeelFree vs Reliable. Can anyone chime in? Thanks

Costco canvas freezer bags $6.99 or so up here.

I put my fish on ice, often bled and/or gutted, as soon as I catch them, and I strap a hard-sided cooler in the rear cargo area of my Revolution for the ice and the fish.  I'd like a catch cooler which is longer (for bigger fish) and lower (to catch less wind), and have bought a couple of flexible catch bags, but didn't like them as much as my hard-sided coolers.  A guy in Oregon was making some long orange triangular catch coolers, but quit making them before I got around to buying one.  I've been kicking myself for not buying one as soon as I saw them. 

The advantages of a hard-sided cooler are that they do a good job of keeping ice and fish cold, it's easy to load fish in them, they hold a lot of fish, you can get pretty big fish in them if you bend them in a "U" shape, and they're easy to clean.  I strap my coolers down to padeyes on my kayak with nylon straps and mini-carabiners, so the cooler will stay in place if I roll my kayak, and I put a strong bungie cord over the top of the coolers so their contents will stay in place if I roll my kayak.

The lake trout in the first two pictures fit in my cooler with some bending.  The lake trout in the third picture didn't, partly because it was too big (35 inches), and partly because I already had 4 other lake trout in the cooler, one of them 30 inches long.  So you can get pretty big fish in a hard-sided cooler, but not halibut or other really big fish.

How's that cooler working for you in 3-foot swells?

I've never had any problem with my hard-sided coolers either in fast steep waves or in longer ocean swells, even when the coolers have a lot of fish and ice in them.  For example, shown below are a couple of pictures I took near Depoe Bay the day before the 2016 ORC was supposed to happen, but was cancelled due to bad weather.  I had a cooler on my kayak, and didn't have any problems with the waves.

Wind is another story.  The coolers are pretty high, and in a high wind they can catch enough air to interfere with steering my Revolution.

i use the small feelfree with a few frozen water bottles. 

it has worked perfectly for me up to 28" salmon.  fish are cold when i get home.  i slide it under the bungees in the back of my revo since i don't carry a bunch of unnecessary junk back there. 

the inner bag it comes with will tear after short time though.  you can use a garbage bag instead, or nothing at all like me and just clean it well after.

I can vouch for Reliable Fishing Products being very highly quality, better than the first impression one might get not that it seems bad, it’s just that their materials, construction, and quality control is  exemplary.
