An apparatus for the containment and transportation of catch in water, comprising:

• a floatation structure comprised of a material and form so as to allow said floatation structure to float when the apparatus is in use in water, said floatation structure being a ring-shaped structure;
• a container structure disposed within and connected to said floatation structure, said container structure disposed so as to be partially submersed when the apparatus is in use in water, said container structure further having formed therein a plurality of openings sized such that water may enter a portion of said container structure which is partially submersed when the apparatus is in use in water but limited in sized so that catch carried within said container structure cannot escape therefrom;
• at least one convenience formed in said floatation structure to allow a user of said apparatus to access said at least one convenience in an effective and convenient manner, said convenience is selected from the group consisting of:
• a water-resistant storage compartment, a cup holder recess, at least one water-resistant audio output speaker, a water-resistant radio tuner, a water-resistant video display device, a water-resistant battery compartment, a connector for connecting an electronic device to a speaker, a shellfish size gauge, and a tether clip or hook;
• and
• wherein said at least one convenience formed in said floatation structure comprises said water-resistant storage compartment, said cup holder recess, said at least one water-resistant audio output speaker, said shellfish size gauge, and said tether clip or hook.
