Or just pack up and go home to enjoy fresh fish?

Costco sells a insulated bag named "Keep Cool" for about $6.50. 17" by 23". Works great. Just make some ice slabs in your freezer, lasts a bit longer then cubes, and you're set. Held close to 30lbs of fish from a trip last season.

Real men leave it in the water, or was that get pulled in the water, I can't remember.
