Keeping fish in saltwater almost always involves putting them on 
ice, in your boat.  Whether that boat is a kayak, a center-console, 
or a cigarrette boat.   The only folks that typically drag fish around 
on a stringer are wadefishermen, where carrying a cooler is simply 
impossible.

I use a moderate sized collapsable cooler.  I also have a long, 
skinny dry bag which would be the recipient of any 28" red drum 
that I might ever get lucky enough to catch.  The dry bag, plus 
some ice would be perfectly adequate to keep the fish fresh for a 
few hours.
