Yes, depending where you are running, the chop can be pretty bad.  Especially some of those deep holes where it drops to 60 feet like just below island 22.  Add to that the larger boats running around and the tug pulling the logs, you don't want it being really unpleasant when you are out fighting a Chinook.  It's hard enough to keep those things sometimes, add the problem of getting them out from under the boat and the extra chop making it hard to keep your line as tight as you want....  I would get a v bottom with a floor or put a floor in so you have a flat surface to maneuver on.
