Keeping a fish to enjoy is part of the fun of our sport.
Whether reasonably intentional or accidental, when a fish bleeds and release is not an option, as it often happens when fishing for trout in reservoirs, it is of good sense to store it properly after it has been gutted and washed.
The Wychwood Game Bass Bag Catch Retainer is ideal and its waterproof rubber mesh construction means that it does not retain odours. It is easily hosed down and dries quickly. Its large capacity allows you to keep fairly large fish, up to 60 cm.
