{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Know of a waterproof action camera comparable to GoPro?

Definitely go for 64GB or the 128GB if you can find them on sale.  

Also budget some money for the accessories. Backup batteries are a must, especially for cold weather.  The best accessory I've used is a shooting stick, the type with a notch to rest your gun on. It collapses/extends.  Unscrew the gun resting notch and use a camera adapter mount for the action cam.  The pointy end sticks into the ground well if you want to set it and forget it.  I've used it for underwater shots, as a boom above the water and above people, stuck in the ground for time lapses and video.  It's fantastic.

I don't have experience with anythiing other than GoPro but you are correct that high quality video footage takes up a TON of storage.  Filming on the highest resolution setting on GoPro, about 2.5 hrs of footage fills up a 16 GB memory card. If you find you want to film nonstop all day you'd probably want a 64GB card, keeping in mind the battery will likely need to be recharged or swapped out with a backup fully charged one to film that long. So battery life/ease of charging should also be something you consider.

I have the older model of the link that I am sending you.  It is an excellent camera with good quality for a good price.
