Feces in yak

[driftwood]

I had an emergency while fishing LJ and took a crap inside my kayak hull.
That was a messy clean up I'll never do that again!!!!!


Anyone else want to share on similar experience feel free to join in.

I use this fish bag and was able to have a couple of YT's stored up front in the Outback. Works great.

is really not a bad idea, just keep them on deck for a half hour prior to storage while they constrict .

I have the same long drive to LA (DTA) That's why you need to gutt your fish completely clean BEFORE you put them in your hull.
Your fish will taste a lot better when you get them home. Smell better too...

Yup, I have learned to make sure the poop chute of the big black seabass is aimed away from you as you are reviving it. That expanded swim bladder can hold a lot of pressure looking for an outlet.

I've thought about this after reading a couple of threads over the years from some members not cleaning their yaks after returning home due to time, falling asleep, being too tired, and having fermenting fish smell etc. the day after.
I've also looked into the the fish bag posted by swim-dog. However I have also read about the difficulty of landings due to kayaks being top-heavy from too many fish (a problem I hope to have one day).
I thought about using Canyon or Boone fish catch bags [http://www.amazon.com/CANYON-Insulat...RMVW73MG9Z3QQ] that I could use to store my catch in the hull with (I lost my old long range one years ago and never replaced it). This lower center of gravity should make landings easier and not as challenging (unless I'm missing something). The bags are sealed and also easily rinsed out and not as much ice is needed to keep the fish chilled. I can transport my catch in the bag alone or can throw it in a cooler for the long drive home.
Anyone have any thoughts/comments about this solution?

Buy some Huggies or pampers apply to yellowtail before you put in kayak.

But this is the first from a fish . The sun is out , the drive way is washed down , the odor is dissipating . Life is good .
