DO NOT LEAVE YOUR FISH IN THE WATER!!!
Great way to get flipped by a Sea Lion. Don't risk getting you or your son hurt.

I was wondering about that myself when I saw that. I've never left my catch tethered in the water but I was curious if that is something most do? If not the dogs then a GWS looking for an easy meal had always deterred me.

It is not the Great Whites you have to worry about. They will not really bother much with small rockfish. The smaller sharks if they were hungry might go for them but if a Great White takes interest in you it would likely target the yak thinking it is a large bleeding mammal. It would take a large seabass both white or black to get a great white to really turn it's head. As has been constantly said it is the sea lions that have no issue going after your catch. But that is what the billie club is for

Yep, and you better wear SPF 1000 sunscreen, a chainmail wetsuit, a backup PFD, carry 3 VHFs, 2 extra peddle/paddle drives and 2 backup bilge pumps.

I always tether my spare kayak and drag it around with me, never can be too safe!

I've never had a dog go after rockfish. I leave mine in the water or they turn to jerky

I always leave them in the water except while surf landing. If you don't carry a fish bag to keep them iced or a burlap bag you can keep wet, they will dry all out. Then I also don't hang my feet or legs in the water. Never had a problem, the dogs don't come too close.

I keep mine in a fish basket and pull it in if I am paddling any distance.
