How to Transport Live Fish?

[BigSam89]

Hi all,
I recently went fishing and had considerable luck. I caught rather small sized catfish, I ended up putting them back but do any of you know how I could transport these fish back to my place while keeping them alive? It's about an hour and a half drive back to my place. I'm in AZ and its starting to get hot as well.

Sam,

Not sure but people have done that successfully!

buy a cheap foam cooler (most party stores/gas stations have em), line with a few plastic bags and fill with the water from where they're from. Keep in a cool spot on the ride home.

I second SillyChicken! I moved 20 goldfish from Missouri to Chicago in giant ziplocs without losing a single fish!

Maybe you can put them in baggies and stop by a fire station and ask the guys if they could possibly blast some oxygen into the bag to help keep the fish alive during transport.
