Storing Large Catch?

[Hunters Pa]

I usually throw a big Rubbermaid bin in the back of the SUV when I make a trip. Usually it is just my wet & nasty clothes, pfd, etc that goes in there. But if I get something that does not fit in a medium size cooler then it can double as a bin to ice down my prize. Space is not much of an issue as smaller loose stuff, tackle bag, etc can go inside

I always have an empty cooler in the back and just this weekend I was wondering where to put my wet clothes and that didn’t even occur to me.

(Second non-LJ surf landing and I got wet again... Didnt flip this time, but I forgot just how quickly Tamarack beach north of both jetties gets deep... figured I was close enough and I’d get out and walk it in the rest of the way. Nope! Couldn’t touch the bottom and had to swim along side in front of all the beach goers until I got a closer. Yeah, I meant to do that...)

I’m going to start doing that as I have plenty of room for it. Thanks for the help!

I caught a 33 and 36 lb yt the other day and of course did not have the truck or the ice chest. No bag, no towel, only a nice clean Subaru Outback. What to do? I turned my waders inside out, put a yellow tail head first in each leg, and droppped in 2 bags of ice per leg, threw it in the back and off I went.

Here are the Yellows and my wadders, but you will have to imagine what it would look like with the fish in them. The bite was hot that morning. Not much pressure, not many yaks and maybe 2 boats. Just solid yellows on the iron. Sounds like the word got out and the bite died after the full moon.
