Exactly.

That said, I sometimes envy my
friends with their little sport kayaks.

I have some experience in kayaks - not as much fishing as straight
paddling. They are nice, but the canoe gives you the added advantage of
being higher up and being able to see the water better, and the ability to
more easily bring along a significant other/offspring/dog. I'm guessing
you could always go with a tandem, but my dog is too lazy to keep up his
end of the paddling bargain.
