Just swing by your local Smart&Final, and pick yourself up a Keep it Cool bag.

these things WORK. I placed a few chunks of ice in there, and they lasted the whole day.

You can just get a ziplock freezerbag with some ice in it, put it in the keep it cool bag, then roll the keep it cool bag up, and put it in your backpack. Then you can put it in your gunny sack, and your fish will be ultra fresh ;)

they have a velcro strip on the top to seal the bag, works great!

This is very important for guys like me that dont have a car and bus it around.

its terrible to catch a fish, only to have it spoil on the way home.

Good tip. I see post after post with Barracuda/Bass sitting for 6 hours in a gunny sack.

Yeah thats the problem, with cudas, and bonito, you can actually get really really sick, even if the meat doesnt spoil.

its called scombroid fish poisoning, and can totally ruin your day.

This is pretty neat, is the keep it cool bag reusable? or are they disposable one time use things?

they are reusable. pretty durable too. i could possibly even use it as a bait bucket for smelt.
