Whether you're chasing bass on a weekend tournament, running a kayak through backcountry lakes, or heading offshore for big game, one thing is non-negotiable: keeping your catch cold. Buffalo Gear has built a reputation for serious, no-nonsense fish cooler bags — and we carry their full lineup right here at The Lake George Store.
Here's a breakdown of every Buffalo Gear cooler bag we carry, so you can find the right one for how you fish.
For Kayak Anglers: The 25" and 36" Kayak Fish Cooler Bags
If you're fishing from a kayak, space is everything. Buffalo Gear's 25" Kayak Fish Cooler Bag and 36" Kayak Fish Cooler Bag are built slim and light, with waterproof tarpaulin construction and a shoulder strap so you can carry your catch hands-free. Both are designed to lay flat in a kayak hull or strap to a deck. The 36" version gives you more room for bigger hauls without adding much bulk.
For Tournament Anglers: The 48×18" Insulated Fish Cooler Bag
This is our most popular all-around fish bag. The 48×18" Insulated Fish Cooler Bag holds up to 35QT / 40L and keeps ice for 24+ hours thanks to 0.5" closed-cell foam insulation and heat-welded seams. The double-sided 22oz waterproof tarpaulin body is 100% leakproof during normal use — no puddles in your truck bed. A screw-on drain plug makes meltwater cleanup fast, and it folds flat for storage. Available in White, Blue, and Gray at $69.99.
If you need an airtight zipper, step up to the 40×18" version with an airtight zipper — same core construction, fully sealed closure, 48-hour ice retention.
For Big Catches: The 90" Extra-Large and 106QT Flat Bottom Bags
Going after tuna, stripers, or anything that needs serious real estate? The 90" Extra-Large Fish Cooler Bag with YKK zipper is built for big-game fishing, and the 106QT Flat Bottom Fish Cooler Bag gives you a stable, stand-up design that's easy to load and unload at the dock.
For Hands-Free Fishing: The Backpack Options
Buffalo Gear also makes two backpack-style coolers for anglers who need to hike in or keep both hands free. The 21QT Fish Cooler Backpack includes rod holders and a waterproof kill bag design. The 31QT Fish Cooler Backpack steps up the capacity with 24–36 hour ice retention — solid for a full day on the water.
Why Buffalo Gear?
Buffalo Gear builds their bags for anglers, not campers. That means puncture-resistant materials that handle sharp fins and hooks, leakproof construction that won't ruin your truck, and drain plugs that actually work. Every bag in the lineup is designed to be rinsed clean with soap and water — because after a good day on the water, the last thing you want is a complicated cleanup.
