Does this portable freezer have enough storage for my needs?

Featured Replies

I do have a good cooler, but want an upgrade.  I found this on Amazon and was wondering whether it would fit my needs:

I fish lakes and generally take home panfish under 15 inches. I may occasionally land one or two 18 inch fish.  I catch the following:

 

Pumpkinseed Sunfish

Bluegill

Yellow Perch

Pickerel

Black Crappie

Bullhead Catfish

Largemouth and Smalmouth Bass

 

I store the fish in vacuum-sealed bags after cutting the heads off, gutting, and scaling.

 

I always have more aspirations, but I rarely take home more than 15 fish. Will this amount fit in this freezer?  Given the dimensions and the way that I pack, how many of these types of fish can this freezer hold?  

 

Thanks

I don't know if there's really any way to say. IMO, if you catch enough to fill a cooler that size, wouldn't that be enough fish to eat that day? I'd think you'd be able to stack 15 panfish in there, but if you can "only" fit a dozen, is that a deal breaker? I guess that's up for you to decide.

I go on fishing trips up to 5 days and take the fish home, so not fitting everything would be a dealbreaker.  I don't mind a little overkill, but don't want to over do it too much, especially since more space = more $.

I think @Bluebasser86 answered why he did because you literally said this ^^^^^^^^

I looked briefly and it only seems to give the outside dimensions?  You need to find out the inside dimensions and see if they will fit your needs and how it compares in size to your current coolers inside dimensions
