I just bought my first fighting kayak yesterday. I have been wanting one for a while after fishing on a kayak last year and settled on a Jackson Kayak Cuda 12. I had narrowed my choices to that and a wilderness ride 115x. I demo'd both and fished out of them both and decided that the Cuda was best for me due to the overall design, seat comfort and standard options. The ride definitely had the edge I'm stability, not by a ton but it is more stable. However, I was able to stand and fish in both during my demo. Can't wait for the bite to pick here and land some fish!

Correction, fishing kayak, not fighting.

Nice! Good luck!

Nice!!! Was just out in my Cuda 12 today. Caught four fish and first slime in the boat for this year. Enjoy!! They are great boats.

welcome aboard  

Excellent that you found what works for YOU! That's the whole experience. And you'll really enjoy it, I'm sure.

Well you will be using it for fighting fish so it can certainly be called a fighting kayak.
