Fish kill bags make efficient use of space on deck.

Fish kill bags provide an easy way to keep your catch fresh and eliminate the need for a bulky, space-hogging hard sided cooler. Their construction is much like soft-sided coolers, which gives them the ability to store compactly when not in use. Fish kill bags are offered in a range of sizes to accommodate most every angler, from kill bags for small boats up to large kill bags designed to keep that trophy big eye tuna fresh. When shopping for a fish kill bag, look for foam insulation, a non-corrosive zipper and a drain plug to make removing accumulated water and washing easier. West Marine offers fish kill bags by Reliable Fishing, C&H, Strike King, and AO Coolers.
