I'm heading down to Cabo next week for the first time for some HL panga fishing. Can anyone tell me what the process is for bringing fish back? Can I obtain airline approved boxes/icechests in Cabo? Can I have the fish packaged/frozen? I guess I shoulda looked this up sooner, but, its kinda a spur of the moment thing.

Frozen in ziploc bag, no ice, in cooler. Get some duct tape--you will need to tape it up after inspection. You will be fine with that.

You can buy a cooler at the Costco in Cabo.

Check with your panga captain. Most of them have access to a freezer or freezing facility to store fish for their guests. Hotels often do as well.

Good luck.

I'm at the airport in la Paz leaving in minutes I didn't want to bring an icechest from the boat so I just froze it and put it in ziplocs inside my new armor speargun bag they said it was waterproff so I told the girl who checked it that it was a thermic bag for keeping fish in after you spear them so I got my wong my euro and five gallon bags of Yellowtail in the same bag, getting loaded on the plane right now, no problem.
