I caught it about midday. If you plan on continuing fishing keep the fish in the water at all times. When you pull it in the boat to leave or relocate I have a large beach towell I carry with me. I get it wet and wrap the fish in it laying the fish flat on the bottom of the boat. We still had 4 days to fish so I asked the Cheveron station if we could put the fish in there walk in cooler. They were kind enough to let me. I wrapped the fish in 2 large plastic garbage sacks making sure to seal it well so it wouldn't freezer burn keeping the fins and tail laying flat at all times. I also carry a very large cooler so when we left I layed the fish in the cooler and covered it with ice. I kept it froze and delivered it to taximan in the same state within 4 days of returning home. Hope this helps.
