Bring a couple of 44 gallon heavy duty trash bags. Then you will have it in the bag and not the yak.

And the original king of LJ regains his crown!
How many yellows are in 50 pounds? 1? 2? 3? 4? 5?

Ya know, there's something delightfully if unintentionally ironic when Phil mentions large plastic bags.
Considering his avatar. |

went to clean more gear
My alley smells like a sewer, don't get excited guys. This was a learning experience . I should have flushed it out at sea when i saw it. A little clean salt water , no harm no foul. 24 lb and 25 lb on the digital scale after being bleed out . Tight lines everyone . Like mentioned in previous fish report, not wide open by any means . Just a good day of catching for me and few lucky kayakers .

I had an emergency while fishing LJ and took a crap inside my kayak hull.
That was a messy clean up ![]() Anyone else want to share on similar experience feel free to join in. Last edited by driftwood; 07-02-2015 at 11:46 AM. |

I use this fish bag and was able to have a couple of YT's stored up front in the Outback. Works great.

Yup, I have learned to make sure the poop chute of the big black seabass is aimed away from you as you are reviving it. That expanded swim bladder can hold a lot of pressure looking for an outlet.

Got it all cleaned up.
Couple cups of bleach mixed with half a kayak full of water . Hopefully my guide lines don't pop 3 miles from shore .

I have had the same problem on most times I have stored the Yellows inside my X Factor. 3 X 20+lbrs can make quite a mess. I take the fish out at the landing and then walk the kayak back to the surf push down on the bow with the front hatch removed. The waves can fill up the inside fast then I use the hand pump to empty if out. That rinses all the inside out. I use a sponge, for the little left at the end and the Kayak is clean and no smell. I hadn't tried it yet but I thought of squeezing the gut out after bleeding out to see if that would remove most of the waste. The waste varies by what they eat and the red crabs are really messy. I had tried using tall kitchen bags but the tail and fins tear through and it stills get all over the inside. I would never transport the fish in the kayak when not in the water. I bring along a very large cooler (almost as wide as the rear seat of my Jeep) after loading up I stop at the gas station and get several bags of ice to cover the fish. Also if the fish if covered with ice it can stay the night in the cooler and is easier to clean next morning, since the flesh is firmer from being on ice over night.

![]() I've also looked into the the fish bag posted by swim-dog. However I have also read about the difficulty of landings due to kayaks being top-heavy from too many fish (a problem I hope to have one day). I thought about using Canyon or Boone fish catch bags [http://www.amazon.com/CANYON-Insulat...RMVW73MG9Z3QQ] that I could use to store my catch in the hull with (I lost my old long range one years ago and never replaced it). This lower center of gravity should make landings easier and not as challenging (unless I'm missing something). The bags are sealed and also easily rinsed out and not as much ice is needed to keep the fish chilled. I can transport my catch in the bag alone or can throw it in a cooler for the long drive home. ![]() Anyone have any thoughts/comments about this solution? ![]() FFY ![]() |

Buy some Huggies or pampers apply to yellowtail before you put in kayak.
