Nice job, those perch are good eating. Thanks for the pics.

I see that he had a bag inserted into the cooler. He was then being a good boy by ensuring the cooler didn't smell like fish after usage.

Something that I am guilty of. I can purchase a cooler, make sure that it is specifically used for one purpose and then...BAM, I've got 100 perch stored in it! Never fails. Maybe that is how I ended up with 6 Igloo coolers all over 100qts. Buy one for drinks, use it for fishing. Set it aside specifically for fishing and buy another for drinks. Soon I have an overflowing fish cooler and need to use the new one... I had to carry three on my big boat at all times. All three of them ended up with fish in them. Thankfully we had a fridgerator to ensure that food and drinks didn't smell like fish.

Yes, you can wash them and clean them but then nobody would think I caught anything!

So, the next time I hand you a drink or a sandwhich from my Engel cooler/drybox, and it smells like fish, you know the reason why. That and my ice blocks are utilitarian. One day they keep food cold, the next day they keep fish cold. Heck, even the same day?

My Engel 85 was purchased for FOOD ONLY. Of course, as you know Steve, the last time we went fishing, what did we put all the fish in? Exactly!
