TOPIC:

I recently had my hip replaced and I need to avoid certain activities for the next 6 months. I have a cooler on the boat swim platform for the fish. It is difficult to remove the cooler while the boat is docked and put the cooler back. I spent a lot of time of researching other methods and bought a Chiller Bag from Australia for about $133 US dollars, there are other vendors that make fish bags. This bag works great, easy to carry fish, easy to clean, is insulated to maintain ice and I use it to carry ice from the truck to the boat. The model I bought is the smallest length that they offer and for me is the right size for Lake Michigan fish

Interesting! I hadn't considered a bag, but it would be better to lug around than a cooler. I'd probably just toss the bag in my cooler since it's already a convenient place, but at least I wouldn't have to wash out the cooler every time, just the bag. Or, I'd not FORGET to rinse out the cooler and get knocked overboard by the smell when I caught my next fish six 70
degree days later...

I wonder if they are water tight or if they leak?

I have used it 3 times, with 1 bag of 7 lb ice, no leaks and ice was still in bag after 7 hours. Have had up to 15 coho in the bag. I was going to put in cooler but have found it sits on the rear of the engine compartment near the transom with no issues.
