I totally agree, except I still would use a cooler when using the
large Kordon breathing bags, because of the insulation they
provide.
Since I've received fishes in Kordon bags that were in transit
for more than a week, I don't think it's necessary to empty and
refill them while en route for a matter of days.
How are things in Virginia these days? Anne and I are looking
forward to participating in the NANFA convention in Missouri
next month. Will be driving there from Santa Barbara in my
pickup with newly acquired (well used) slide-in camper in the
truck bed. Should be fun.
