I am seriously thinking about getting an HB 898 or the old HB 997. I've read the boards and I see all of the technical discussions on these units but I want to know....for those of you who have bought them....DID IT HELP YOU CATCH MORE FISH?

I don't want a fancy $1500 toy that takes pretty pictures. I want something that is going to help me put more fish in the boat. Could ya'll please share your experiences? Thanks!
