Gaff, Landing Net, Lip Gripper - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Depends on what you're fishing for.

Yellows, wsb, etc. you'll need a gaff.

Lip grippers are great for toothy fish like halibut or lings that are too small to gaff.

For bass and rockish just lip 'em with your thumb.

Personally I don't like dealing with nets on the yak, but I believe the DFG regs require that you carry one.
