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....

, or i have the ice in the trash bag idea

throw the fish in the hull. it will be fine. throw it on ice when you get back to your vehicle if you got a long drive home. if you catch a big one you will probably be satified and ready to go anyway. But what do i no i cant remeber the last fish i caught worth keeping its been so long haha.

Gaff it, bring it on board, put it on the game clip, gill, gut. Then, leave it on deck and throw a burlap sack over it. Keep the sack wet by splashing or dunking it every ten minutes or so. This works very well, especially if there is any wind. You can get the sacks at Squidco for sure, and probably any other tackle shop. Cheap and effective, but definitely get the fish on ice as soon as you can.

I do the same thing with an old towel. It holds water a little better than the burlap. If you rewet it occasionally it keeps fish fresh for hours.

Freeze a couple Water Bottles to keep your fish fresh. Also gives you Emergency fresh water if you need it.
