Wilderness Systems Ride, either 115 or 135 which ever one you prefer!!

 

In my picture im in a Tarpon 120, best purchase ive ever made for fishing!! Its stable, fast, tracks well and just flat out designed awesome! I stood up on it but if im gonna stand, i would rather be on a boat, im not at no dissadvantage sitting on my kayak! Good luck on your purchase!

Recommend taking a look at the Predator MX (that's what I have) or maybe even the FeelFree Lure 11.5, it's $100 cheaper than the P-MX and a little wider too. You could also take a look at the Jackson Big Rig, it's made for big guys. But like Darren said, the best thing you can do is demo the yak/s you're interested in, also try a few different paddle lengths to make sure you get the right one for you.

 

There's lots of good kayaks out there, the best one is the one that's best for YOU. I did a lot of research before choosing the P-MX, I took it out on it's maiden voyage two weeks ago and I know I made the right choice. So good luck and let us know what you decide on. 

The MX may be my next kayak. I like the open floor for fly fishing.

i definitely advise you to look at ascend kayaks, they are from bass tracker marine, and sold in bps all over the US. Sit in or sit on is up to you but ascend offers both. Even with the cheaper kayak models, they are durable as $1000 hobies. You can go in and out of rough water with shoals and big rocks. prices start at like at 400. If anything, i dont recommend pelicans because the material is shady and cheap. and ascends are great beginning or intermediate kayaks!
