Out of curiosity, and because I might be needing something of the sort, is there an livewell or hold tank/cage you guys have found that can actually hold a limit of 5 bass for a kayak? I've seen the baitfish ones but nothing of any size. I've also seen the DIY drag behinds but unsure if anyone has any experience with them. Will that slow you way down?

 

Essentially, just seeing if there are any Kayakers out there that fish tournaments or derbys that have a need to keep fish alive for a weigh-in. If so, how do you hold your bass?

One thing I saw was:

Dude, save your money.  

 

Go go and get a clothes hamper with a hinged lid, a styrofoam pool noodle, some zip ties and some rope.  Zip-tie the pool noodle around the top of the hamper and tie the rope to it, then behind the kayak.  Float that thing like a drift sock behind you anywhere, and the fish stay nice and fresh for like $25.  No room in the yak lost either!  

Any kayak tournaments I've ever entered were CPR only.  These days, it's all through TourneyX.

99.9% of the Kayak tourneys I've seen are CPR as well. However, we have a local Chamber of Commerce tourney that 'may' allow kayaks to enter. This is a CDR w/ a weigh-in. I sold my bass boat so my only option would be shore fishing (not doing that on Budd Lake). SO essentially, in case I am allowed to fish with my yak, I wanted some options as I am not liking the stringer off the side of my kayak idea.

Seems like it'd work. Functionality over fashion, am I right ?!

Show those boaters what's what, lol.
