I wouldn't want to invest all that time, money and energy then not do the right thing to preserve the catch and let it spoil. However, based on photos I've seen, some just strap it down and head home.
If you were going to sell the fish at market hell ya take care of it, but your in Cal. And u can't do that. It's just a fish, put that baby between your legs and pat it on the head and say "nice fishy". Get it home put on ice for few hours to get firm meat and slice it up! Very simple...Sometimes its fun to catch more than one fish, than you peddle in with two on your lap!!
