Mount a kill bag up front or behind (depending on your setup, bait tank, etc.)
I have a reliable kill bag and added some pad eyes to my revo 13 to match the D rings on the kill bag. Then I had some clips to connect. Makes access to hatch a little harder, but still doable.

With larger fish, like big WSB, Threshers, etc I would just pull the drive and paddle in.
Great advice, thanks. I picked up a large Hobie kill bag which appears to be the same size as the Reliable bag. It seems HUGE, almost too big. Anyway, I forgot to bring extra padeyes and couldn't figure out how to lash it on. This will have to be a project for next time.
