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.

Yea I only carry the net because it is required. You do not absolutely have to have the other two but the gaff will sure make it easier to land anything over two feet in length. Generally you can either lip bass with your hand or swing them into your lap to land. Other species such as halibut and yellowtail will make you miserable
if you don't have a gaff to sink into them.
