Well i am in a stealth12...i think brokes in a stealth14. so essentially that either leaves in the rear tank well or crawl up to the forward hatch. Ill probably be doing mostly catch n realease as i dont even really like eating fish. Bring some things home for my dad occasionally so i am not as worried about it i guess.

From your mouth to Gods ears, sounds like I ain't the only one that's heard, all this money spent on equipment, and like D said 12.99 a pound...that's why we all are "addicts".
Loved this post great question, great answers, I think I need to go get me one of those costco deals though...thanks for the info

Head in early with fish strapped down
Get tossed while landing
Lose some gear
Take pictures
Take more pictures
Check inventory
Confirm additional gear was lost
Take more pictures
Go home
Show off your catch
Buy more gear
Do it again the following week

Thats why I carry a filet knife, and 2 gallon zip lock bags
(you can find those at Big Lots) you can find them up to 3- 5 gallon, I use the larger ones for hunting, Turkeys fit good in a 3 gallon bag.. fold them up and place in a gallon size, below deck.

A wet SHAM WOW works well to cover you catch on deck, re-wet as needed on the semi sunny days, I use those instead of a sponge

But if it's a warm one down in the hull they go

Everytime you use it you'll say "Wow"

I carry 2 of them. take up less room than a sponge, and hold a lot of water... and you can toss them in the washer..

Maybe Sham Wow will sponser me now....

I bought a Kill Bag that Slides right into the Nose of the Kayak. Keeps nice and cold with the Ice packs. First Priority for me is to keep the Fish as Pristine as possible. Cut the gills, bleed them out then into the Bag for me. I fish for fun but I also fish for food!

Sometimes I think more people are worried about keeping their beer cold! ha ha

That's a good idea actually.

On a side note, I wonder if a slap chop would help process some of the fish too. Maybe good for ceviche . Oh and "Your gonna love my..."
