I fish with my father who always has 5 pfd's on his 17 foot bass boat. We don't wear them but have them handy and put them on if we get caught in wind/high waves (once on Lake Powell). My kids, however, when they go with us ALWAYS have one on. My son actually fell in once! We weren't moving and he is an athletic swimmer but still... the water was pretty cold and shocked him! I'd give anything for a picture of the look on his face!
