Looking for unique gift ideas for the dad who can’t get enough of the great outdoors (and may stretch the truth a bit while he’s at it)?

FOR THE DAD WHO LOVES TO FISH AND WILL USE ANYTHING STORE BEVERAGES:
Whether fishing from boat, kayak, beach, bridge, dock, or pier, fish bags—or what are often called “kill bags”—are a convenient way for storing and transporting the fish you keep.

On the beach, pier, kayak, or bridge, putting fish into the fish bag makes transportation easy, and the insulating properties of the bag keep fish fresh, unlike using a bucket.
Not only are these bags necessary for fishing, but they also make a great beverage cooler, and who doesn’t love an ice-cold drink?
