I have two heavy black bags in my boat from Bass Pro Shops that have been folded and tossed in a compartment for several years.  They don't get used much because most of the tournaments I fish require that you use their provided bags.  They don't go thru bags though either.  I did the same thing when I ran tournaments.  I required anglers to use my bags.  I had 10 of them, but I only put out five at a time to limit the number of fish in bags and limit the time that they were out of the livewell before they went back in the river.  I gave most of those away as souvenirs (club logo) when I quit running tournaments, but I still have a few of them hanging on the wall in the shop.  I used them for 6 or 7 of the 8 years I ran tournaments.  They are still ok.  I used to fold them up and put them in a tote box and then put my scale in on top of them. 

Anyway, I've had quality bags last for years. 

Now the cheap plastic bags that you get several in a bag or as promotional bags from your local boat dealer don't last as long.  I'll post some pictures of my bags later when I am out in the shop if I think of it. 

Maybe folding them up "tight" with stuff piled on top or having them wedged between tackle trays is the difference.  The compartment I store mine is is mostly loose stuff, and they tend to sit on top. 

I don't fish walleye tournaments, so maybe its the different slime?  LOL.
