DIY fish cooler/bag

[baitball]

I went to the dollar store and bought a cooler bag that seems to be made out of similar material. I have a three step system for minimizing fish slime cleaning:
1. Fish gets put on a stringer when on water
2. When done fishing, put fish in the dollar cooler bag
3. Put the cooler bag in the main cooler that is in the car

Here is a different approach, but one that prevents taking home unwanted fish portions and minimizes fish slime.


1. Keep fish(es) on stringer and in the water. Once back on shore, fillet fish(es) right at the launch, tailgate, or dock/cleaning station.

2. Purchase a small inverter and connect it to the car battery. Plug in Vacuum Sealer to inverter.

3. Throw away unwanted, smelly, slimey fish carcass

4. Vacuum seal the tasty fillets, label, and carry home in cooler. Because of the vacuum-sealed process the cooler remains odor-free.

5. Arrive home to happy wife while you bask in the glow of conquering hero/provider for family :-)
