Keeping the Fish Fresh on a Kayak - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I was wondering what BWE members do to keep their fish as fresh as possible.

Do you catch the fish and toss it in a live well, do you toss it in a wetsack, or do you gonk it behind the head and remove the intestines,guts etc? Do you bleed the fish and let the blood go into the ocean?

thanks for the replies ahead of time.

i think some guys take along bags of ice to cover fish.

Based on the same question I asked a few weeks back, someone suggested a burlap back, and keep it wet.
