Stows easily, comes with a pump that will inflate it quickly, has a 500 lb carrying capacity. The biggest issue will be that it punctures easily, so you'll have to throw a puncture resistant tarp over it. Then, if you can manage to get the fish in there, throw some bags of ice on top of it and then tow it in.
This probably won't work as well as you think if you own a Hobie unless it's a PA. The reason for this is the line would get caught in the rudder if you stop for a rest and if you decide to tie up to your side handles the craft then doesn't tow in a manner where resistance is minimal. I dragged two float tubes yesterday with two 150lb guys sitting in them with little to no equipment. In 8kts of wind it took us 40min to cover 1/2 a mile even with them assisting by kicking and me pedaling at near max effort.
