best bet is to just do a rough fillet on the boat after catching, then save the rest for later - way in, at dock or at home.

by rough fillet, I mean after bleeding (and after the action has cooled) ripping the sides off the rack with a nice sharp knife, and then icing them down. Its easy and takes all of 5 seconds per side.

Saltwater washdown on boat is also key... i would guess you had one?
