Will a big fish pull you crazy far? I remember hooking a 120 lb tarpon near the bridge by key largo and it pulled us for 2 hours as we reeled that guy in

A 10 foot kayak is going to paddle like sh*t for longer excursions.

A 10 foot kayak is going to paddle like sh!t for longer excursions. not really going too far, a couple miles tops. the creeks around here are tiny, just need to have a kayak to get to certain spots (oyster beds, trenches, etc) and to avoid all the shore crowds |

Malibu Stealth 14. Love that thing, and can fish standing up in it. Got to get a pump going to make the center hatch a live well still.

How big a fish can you handle in one? I'm thinking the bigest maybe a decent size striper

I picked the malibu stealth 14 over the 12. More storage, and can hold more weight (I'm a big guy). Also tracked better in the water. Thing is heavy at 70ish pounds. But stable as heck, managed to stand up in it the first day I got it. Has fishing pole holes in already.

I have a 14" fishing boat, but I still want a kayak for fishing...
something about being alone on that appeals to me

may have found something different, it's a sit in kayak, 9.5 foot featherlite by heritage. I'm going to look at it today, doesn't have rod holders, but I'm sure something could be rigged up. www.heritagekayaks.com/featherlite95.htmwhat would you guys say the better kayak is? |
