1st let me say i stand must of the time on my Kayak & setting the hook is no problem for me.I never use a net anymore because there is no room 4 it & the operator.After i hook a big fish i sit back down & just lip them.I have a custom slider between my legs that after the bass is on my kayak that helps contol the fish.Then i put the fish on a stringer so as not too louse it while i photo it.If a kayak was able too have a mother ship its anyones game.Some kayak tournaments do have mother ships because on the ocean its the only way too get out 30 or 40 miles too the fish.
