Maybe a kill bag one day but I need to catch some fish first to justify the cost. I have an old padded surfboard case I got back in the day for free...retchid looking but it looks waterproof and it is insulated. Might cut it up and convert it later into a kill bag. Not sure how kill bags are made insulation wise.

The tips on the icing the fish for 24hrs was helpful as well to include the defrosting methods.

The surfboard bag seems like it would work. Worth a shot. Maybe try throwing some ice in it before you cut it so see how long it holds ice. When you cut it, it should hold ice longer due to a more confined space for it.

If you guys dont know about it already, check out AM1090 radio saturday and sunday morning from 7am-9am. Lets talk hookup a dedicated fishing show that is great. Special guest a couple weeks ago was someone from fishermans processing. Tons of great info given out.

Looks like you have the plan n plenty of good advice also. Personally I never leave fish on the deck longer than I have to. Bled and under the hatch. There are enough smart sea lions out in so cal that I see this as an easy basic precaution. Saw many, but I had no trouble with the hammer heads we had around last summer. Mike

I'll keep that in mind about the dogs. I'm good w/ the HH unless they get to the 15' range like those ones in Florida eating tarpon. I always felt like I could just stiff arm one of those to stay away from the chompers but I'm sure I'd still be a rag doll once all that weight starts shaking around. I saw a youtube video the other day of a guy in a yak w/ a small HH trailing him etc Followed him all the way in. As long as I can keep cool and just stay in my yak even while bumped I should be GTG.

Now I'm wondering if there's a way to insulated the front hatch of revo to work as a cooler?
