Revo 13 storage front hatch - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Does anyone know if you can fit a 40+ inch Halibut into the front hatch of the Revo 13? I know you can fit two 40+ inches into the Revo 16 cause I did that one but they don't make those anymore.

cleaning up inside of yak afterwards. Baked on hali slime, probably worse than seabass? Unless surf is 4'.

. The Revo hatch is pretty tiny, and It sounds unlikely. Probably been a decade since I owned a revo. Maybe things have changed?

But I can tell you a 16oz Rockstar aluminum can will fit down in the throat with room to spare.

When all the weight is loaded up in the front hatch, a vessel trims by the bow and becomes directionally unstable(very hard to steer straight). better load up the weight on the back end. Even if the back end is underwater, the kayak will be easier to maneuver.
