If you own a Hobie or a kayak with a large front hatch, Fastlane sells insulated game bags to store your catch in. They are made just for kayaks. They ought to keep your catch from getting pink gills.

The game clips are used to secure the fish, simply stick it through their gills. Some people drag their catch along side of them, others put the fish with the game clip through them, in the back well of their kayak. They're versatile, so pretty much what ever works for you goes. The game bags are way over $40, maybe you could use a trash bag with some ice packs.

The redneck way of storing your catch!

They usually only do this once or twice until a sea lion grabs it and flips your kayak. Or the landlord in the gray and white suit....
