Fishing for Tuna Dana Point, Catalina Island, San Diego- looking for airline coolers
I have been invited to go get some Tuna and Dorado in September, just wondering if anyone from here has ever been?

2 of us from here have booked the flight and hotels, fishing 80 degree salt in California Sept 9-12. 
I am wondering if anyone around here or Edmonton/Red Deer has one or 2 of those styrofoam coolers with the cardboard box over it that is made for flight that they would lend or sell us? I know Lonewolf has a couple, but he is too far south. The plan is to put all clothes and a duffel bag into it, use it that way for the trip there and for fish on the way back.
I am not having a lot of luck finding sportfish processing in LA area, am hoping my friend down there has better luck.
Pics to follow if anyone wants.

Mack- thanks, I have been checking with the local grocery stores.
Sure could use 1 more if possible.

Check the pet stores that sell fish on town MR Pets and PetPad . I used to get them from the Reef Shoppe almost every trip up there, he's closed down now, but I bet freshwater fish come in the same type coolers as the saltwater stuff.

Final countdown is on!
Latest reports are insane;
the big boat we are going out on caught 60 BLUEFIN tuna yesterday over 100 lbs, the best was over 160! And you keep 100% of what you catch! I am taking heavy reels for my friend that is taking us out day 1 and 2, he said he has nothing heavy enough for bluefin. I think the Hali gear should be fine.
Oh, this is going to be a bad thing. I may leave my boat there for the summer and fly back and forth!!!
I am hoping to run out of room on the sd cards.
