Reliable. Best quality and worth the few more $$$ you will spend. You will never have to buy another. Unless you fish Tuna or mega bottom fish, go with the smallest size, 18" x 36", because salmon are smaller and limts are less frequent. Also holds lots of crab and fits well on deck or in the floor. I have never filled my 20" x 48" and wish I had the smaller one.

Reliable kill bags are nice and worth the money. I have stuffed my 24x48 many times with Salmon or crab. I wouldn’t buy one any smaller unless I fished on others boats and just wanted a bag to Cary a couple fish home in.

I’m getting the 30x60 soon as it’s a better suited size for party fishing. My favorite thing about a kill bag is how you can put it anywhere on the boat and how easy it is to get out of the boat full of fish by yourself.

Ive had good luck with the kill bags they sell at Fishermans with their logo on it. Not sure who actually makes them but Ive have mine for over six years and although it does leak a little Im surprised at how well its held up.

Check out JParks Upholstery in Hillsboro. They do boat tops and make really nice custom to order kill bags. They have reenforced handles, zippers and insulation and they don’t leak.
I have a few bags and my JParks custom bag is by far the best of the group.

I have the Opah (salmon model). It is much better than the other brands I have used.

Only issue I had with Reliable is it came with instructions to buy some sealant and where to put it, so I did.

When you buy top of the line I think you should expect more. With that said it has never leaked and I am very hard on all my gear.

I use the cheap bimart Calcutta bag $33 I freeze Gatorade bottles and toss 5 or 6 of them in there I have had no issue with them leaking going on third season I've had about six 4 to 10lb coho in them with room for a couple more when it fails I'll by another for $30ish bucks I'm sure it would get destroyed quick if i put crab in it though

I had a custom size bag made by North American Tarp in Longview. The sell them under the name Rugged Made. Very durable and an excellent value as far as I'm concerned.

Pretty happy with our Reliable fish bag for transportation in just a fishing rig. Had a Wilderness Pack insulated box made for the in floor fish box of our NR Seahawk and it works well for the purpose intended. Different applications, but both do the job.

This is the answer. These bags are killer. Extremely well made, welded, leakproof, drain plug, cool colors, can be custom or pre-made... all the good stuff!

I have one of those that I use. They do leak pretty bad, but I take a large 3 mil contractor debris bag with me to put fish and ice in, then put the contractor bag in the kill bag. However, my next kill bag buy, will be a Reliable. When the budget allows.

I randomly searched bags on Amazon about 3 years ago and ordered a Reliable one. Reviews said it wasn't water proof, but they also said to use some kind of sealer inside on the seams. Haven't had any issues with it at all and I'm pretty hard on my equipment.

I have one Calcutta bag. The zipper is so hard to use I never use the thing unless I need a real small killlbag for something. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

Totally agree purchased mine at Bob's sporting goods in Longview locally made product. NO LEAKS

Sandbags work for a semi-red-neck like myself. Then just stick the bag with fish in a cooler.

I have an Opah. It its overbuilt, doesn't leak, and holds ice cold forever. Top notch performance and way, way better than the cheapo calcutta it replaced. But it is bulky and even empty it never really gets close to flat.

Before buying, I borrowed a friends Kuuma. Also a great choice -- not as thick in the insulation and didn't hold cold quite as well as my Opah, but it did well enough and gets flatter.

I bought a North American Tarp bag 3 years ago. Very happy with it doesn't seem to leak like my buddy's Reliable bag. Seems plenty tough as well.

When my Reliable bag was new and not exactly used much, my daughter who is 8 years old would lay in it! throw a blanket over the top and she would stay comfy anywhere!
