After spending hours on the water, and many trips out and finally catching a WSB or YT, and now doing a 20 or 40 minute paddle back to the beach, I think it would be a good idea to be ready to take care of that fine meat and take the right steps to keep it in the best condition. 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.
