Seems like you have it figured out...
It's not complicated nor difficult. Catch fish, secure it, bleed it, gut it if desired, paddle in, put fish in cooler, buy ice, go home.

Of course this will change if you want to stay out longer or the environmental conditions are not ideal. If it's summer and it's hot, a kill bag with ice would be nice to keep your catch cold and cool. During winter time like it is now, your fish should do much better and last longer sitting on your kayak. A burlap sack or towel will help to keep your fish cool and wet during the day, and will keep the sun off of it.

I'm sure your best judgement will do just fine next time it's not complicated.
