Larry;
Congrats on your Kayatank. It is the future in yak bait tanks.
Always with you, never have to bungee it in your tankwell. I use mine for storage in route to the landing and to the fishing grounds. I store sharp and heavy objects in the bag without a worry.
I was talking to Brad and he was concerned about putting lobster in the tank. I tested the material and here's what I found. First, this is a personal test and not a Kayatank approved test.
I took a rapala and puntured the material. Needed a lot of force to do it, but was able to push it thru. What I was not able to do was to TEAR the bladder from that point. The nylon reinforcement and the cement seam held the treble in place.
What can you draw from this? The hysteria, paranoia and myths are unfounded and illogical. Unless Brad stores a fish with utility knives for claws and hydraulics for arms... get the point. When I cut the material for my bladder, it will dulled a utility blade pretty damn quick.
This construction is used by the Navy, Sea World and the Coast Guard in similar applications... this accordinig to the makers of the material and chemical sealant.

I don't feel comfortable with 5 gallons of water inside my kayak

Hey Matt 5 gallons is not a lot of water... launching thru the surf with your center hatch open... that was a lot of water. 8)
