What I was getting at is that you can fish from most kayaks but they will never approach the capabilites of this new breed of fishing kayak. The picture I was looking for was of a guy who specializes in tuna fishing. He was pictured with a 110 lb. tuna in his lap. These super stabile fishing kayaks allow anglers to tussle with these big fish. The fact that this guy could pull something that big over the side without going over himself was testament to how stabile these boats can be. Plus they have tiedowns and other holding devices that secure all the gear so that battles with super sized fish won't allow your extraneaous stuff to end up on the bottom. Having a nice padded seat, a footwell, beer storage and a lot of other comforts doesn't hurt either. And, most of the boats are between $US 750-1300.
