dogfish,
Seems to me that I have seen a picture of two little boys proudly holding a days catch before?Going on that info I would say the DB to acomidate the next generation.

I personally am hiding money from my wife so that I can get a cat,but I prefer to fish alone and only am risking divorce and some upset canines when they get left at home.I like the cat vs db because of its portability and the ability to do lower water than the db.I am also not looking for a vessel to fish out of as much as I am looking for a means to get from hole to hole.I am to squirrly to sit in a db all day,I usually turn down the invites because it just is not my gig.I believe in simple and an overgrown intertube to float from hole to hole seems the simplist.
