How much of a difference does it make in the quality of rockfish when thrown into an ice bag rather than sitting in the water or hatch? Any opinions?

Over 6 hours in a kayak hatch in Florida it is about $2.99 a pound

not sure. i always just put my rock fish in the live well. stuff 'em all in there and keep the pump going. they're sill kicking when i land and I throw them on ice. lol sometimes it pays to have a 4 gallon tank

that is fine if they are in the livewell with water on them no problem..- I was just kidding...

yeah, i never had problems with rockfish in the tank. but these snapper wont fit. especially if i have a few hard tails in there for bait.

That's some red snapper. But they really do need to be kept on ice. They spoil fast in the sun.
