Fish Bags / Catch Cooler

[goldenglory18]

All,

Anyone around here carry a fish bag or catch cooler instead of using a stringer or clip?

The thought of having a chain of half dead fish foundering in the water is very unsettling to me (doesn't that attract sharks?)

Wilderness Systems supposedly released a catch cooler that was a hit at iCast but I've yet to see them in stock at the big online retailers. Anyone else have a product they like and can recommend?

Thanks everyone!

Do it right the first time. Best bags on the market hands down. Toss a frozen block of ice in and fish all day.

I have surf to summit also. Nice bag. Nice and long, fits contour of front hatches well. Keeps ice all day. I use mine for beer just as much as I use it for fish.

But I don't think of a game clip as a catch keeper. I think of it as the last step in landing a fish after gaffing it. So probably wouldn't want to land a big fish without it.

I wonder how many mackerel I could fit in the catch keeper

This is my understanding, although disclaimer, I don't have too much experience with my game clip sadly hah.

Game clip is just to bleed it out, not to transport or keep fresh...from my understanding they bleed out better in the water no?

Transport/keep fresh your fish on a game clip in the water for too long and you will realize quickly that this is not the best option

Yep, about 60 seconds of dunking back and forth into water after ripping a gill should be plenty. Stick the fish in kill bag after that. And get it on ice.
