Talk about a newbie question

The fish clips/game keeper, whatever you want to call them, that I see in a lot of the pics. Do you use them on live fish and just have the fish tethered to the yak so you can keep fishing? Is it like a giant stringer? Does it get in the way if the fish is free swimming like that?

And where da heck do you find them locally in LA? Preferably somewhere near the SG Valley. Thanks.

Whatever you do, don't leave the game clip and fish in the water.

I WOULD NOT LEAVE ANY FISH HANGING OVER THE YAK! UNLESS YOU WOULD LIKE TO CATCH SOMETHING BIGGER.LOL

So what's the purpose of the clip if not to leave it hanging over the side? Can't you just shove a fish in the hold or buy one of those game bags?

So you don't drop a fish overboard. Fish like to flop around on deck, it's best to secure them. It's the first thing I do when I bring a keeper aboard. Nothing would be worse than catching a fish of a lifetime and having it jump off the deck and sink out. After the fish is bled out I will often store them in the hatch.
