Cooler?
 
What's size cooler you have and what do you use it for? Plan on getting a yeti or k2 but trying to figure wht size is best to use As a fish box or everything else.

I have a 60 and 20 qt k2. The 20 stays in the back of the truck and is perfect for a 12 pack and a bag of ice. I use the 60 as a fish box or deer/pig box or special occasions that require a lot of beer. Haha.

But you have to make sure you get the right ice. That's the key.

I have a 65 Yeti,hasen't left the back of my truck since june, I load it and take drinks and stuff to customers job sites. A 20# bag stays good for 4+ days in summer

If you fish the east side a 65 won't hold a 4 man limit of trout

Nope, you'd need a 120 for that.

I have a 70 K2 and fits perfect in front of my frontier.

X 2.... Not sure why anyone would want to box fish in that heavy ice chest. A couple of bags of ice and a normal cooler work just fine.

Yeti's are very heavy and expensive.

Exactly, save $350, get a Coleman Extreme.

I fish with two 50qt and a 120qt coleman extreme ice chests. They work just fine and if someone steals one out of my truck im out 60 bucks instead of 400+.

swamp snorkler 01-09-2014 10:02 AM

make sure you pre cool them yetis and use inside out frozen ice

Samarai 01-09-2014 10:03 AM

i would not want to throw fish into a 400 dollar cooler. It kind of defeats the purpose. Who needs fish to be kept cold for 4-5 days. would be a pain to haul off the boat to clean, and the stains left behind would kill that cooler

I have a 20, 70 and 120 K2 and love them all! Im 155lbs and can lift anyone of them in and out of my truck. I also see you are from Lafayette, to me it should be a no brainer on buying the K2 Cooler. Its based out of Lafayette, LA and your money is going to local people. I don't know Mr. Yeti or Mr. Coleman, so I much rather know my money is going towards a quality product from a Local Company I can easily deal with in case of a warranty issue. I would check out Rouse's Grocery stores, they have the best pricing on K2 coolers!

FF_T_Warren 01-09-2014 12:16 PM

Once again you get your money out of yeti and k2 on durability. A Coleman ain't lasting 10 years unless you rarely use it and baby it

They didn't start making Yeti until 2006. So how can you say they will last 10 years?

And its certainly not going to make it 10 years when somebody snatches that jewel out of your truck.

FF_T_Warren 01-09-2014 03:42 PM

Lol ok. I know quality when I see it. Come back in 3 years and you can tell me how I was right. What a joke...
Also I chain it in so unless they have bolt cutters, torch, or grinder then it should be ok. If they want it that bad, get after it

Nickt87 01-09-2014 04:03 PM

75 qt yeti stays on the bow of my 17' aluminum boat. To hold fish and at a minimum add some weight and help with the porpoising. Seriously

Deer season I take it to the deer camp and can fit 2 deer quartered easily with light ice. When I get home pull the plug and keep ice on it for another 5 days to cure.

I use my regular ole igloo for everyday stuff though.

Please post a link to a video of you lifting the loaded 120qt out of your truck.

I'm 190lbs and don't care to carry my 60 loaded down, much less lift it up into my boat when it's trailered...

salty dogg 01-09-2014 05:03 PM

I have a 24,65 and 105 yeti that all work great, the only problem is the bigger you go the heavier they are. I would look into the Teflon pads to replace the rubber ones on the bottom of the cooler(it makes sliding the ice chest in and out of the boat a lot easier)
