I’ve had good luck with a salmon size and offshore size kill bags made by wilderness pack specialties. They make a trout size bag too.

 

Rugged Made bags sold at Bob's Sporting goods store in Longview WA. Inside liner is water tight sealed so it doesn't leak and half inch closed foam padding to insulate. I've had mine hold ice for two or three days.

 

The Calcutta bags at bi-mart have been good for me. Not super insulated but good enough. Can get three typical size springers with ice in one (barely). I got two since they fit perfectly in my fish box. $35ish.

 

The reliable bags are the most durable and hold ice the longest but the seams do leak a bit. I haul them in the boat or the back of my pickup. I have a Canyon redfish bag I use in my car. Doesn't leak and holds a couple springers. Probably about the size you're looking for. Think it was $80 on Amazon. Has held up to 5 years of heavy use still looks new.

 

Bought this at Costco for less than $15.00. Has hauled bunches of bottom fish, coho and chinook on the smaller size. Insulated and water proof lining and very sturdy. Take it on all my fishing trips to haul miscellaneous stuff to the boat but doubles as a kill bag. Been a year and its still ticking. Best $15.00 I've spent on fishing crap! Does need a good rinsing every once in a while! 🤪

 

What are the dimensions and capacity on that?

 

Its pretty flexible but 24L x 14W x 14 deep. Made by Keepcool Bags. I see Costco still has them on line and maybe some stores. Now $25. Was impressed when I loaded it with bottom fish and no punctures.

 

I also am looking for a trout kill bag...that looks perfect

 

Ice Mule bags w/back pack straps. Hands free for hiking or climbing back up with your kill of rock fish.

 

Thanks. I don't do Costco but my sister does. I'll have her check for one.

 

Amazon has pretty much the same bags @ $25. They are great bags.

I don't do Amazon, either... Call me a dinosaur..

 

Dinosaur.

 

Keepcool on Amazon led me to the "Insulated Grocery Bag" line of products...couple good products in the 12-15$ range that are slightly longer and not as deep. Perfect for 18-20" trout.
Thanks for the tip.

 

This got me thinking about the insulated hot/cold grocery bags available at my local market. They are $1 each and probably good for up to five trips. I think I'll pick up a few next time I'm at the store. I'll need to check for leaks but I normally use a heavy reusable plastic bag inside my trout cooler anyway. Just a thought...

 

Mustad is a step above the calcutta and the price is right, aroumd $45. Love mine.

 

The Columbia Perfect Cast bags are a good trout and Kokanee option that can pinch hit for salmon and rockfish if needed. Two liner bags included are nice. Pretty reasonable if you can get an employee store pass.
