[FISH11]

After bleeding them out I store it inside the kayak. I can put them in through the center hatch and that keeps them out of view and the sun light. As most know Malibu kayaks always leak in a little water inside from mostly the front hatch during launching through the waves. That little bit of water keeps the fish wet and help them not dry out. The 43+ pounds of extra weight on the front of the kayak makes the landing with the waves a little different and if I had a third fish I think I would put the third one on the back to balance out the weight. Some guys use a burlap bag or a beach towel to cover them, splash water on them to keep them wet when on top of the deck or spend some big bucks on a nice fish bag.
