On a serious note I use a cabelas brand have since the day I got my big tuna. Without taking a picture of it here's the closest photo I got... Plus it's "got fish" I zip tied my safety knife and light to the mesh shoulders.

+1.  I have used Stohlquist Ebb PDF's, but the pockets aren't very usefully arranged.  NRS Chinook has useful pockets and a VHF holder.

Great now I might have to put my cabelas in the reserve bag.... If my wife don't kill me first! This is getting to be a dangerously expensive sport >:D I love it though.

Very well thought out pockets.

I started with a Stohlquist Fisherman, and it seemed fine, but it was never that comfortable in the kayak seat.  I went to Next Adventure and tried out several while sitting in a kayak exactly like mine and ended up with a Kokatat.  I'm sure both would keep me afloat but the Kokatat was much more comfortable.

+1 on Kokatat, I've got the Bahia Tour, the Predator would be awesome for fly fishing.
