That would be pretty neat to find out... however, there are a lot of variables that go into why one chooses a particular kayak. Type of water fished, size of the fisherman (fisherperson) and so on. So I would suggest not only which kayak, but also why. Nice idea RetiredRR!
You can start a poll, anyone can. When typing your new thread scroll down to the bottom of the page and you will see an option to start a poll. You will get a drop down to add your info about the poll and how long the poll will last.Quote:

Loads into the bed of my pickup. (so easy and simple.) (Longer boats stick out too far, so they have to go up on racks.)
Unique feature: stern mounted roller/wheel. Rolls across parking lots and hard surfaces. (Doesn't work so good in sand or mud though)
super comfortable seat!! Me: 6'2" 240
Favorite accessory: fish finder
downside: the way I paddle, I'm always dripping water on my legs. Nice in hot weather, but not so nice when it's cool or cold. Extra long paddle helps.
Two Ocean Kayaks:
1) OK Endeavor (Prowler formally sold by Bass Pro)
2) OK Prowler Big Game II
I like the Endeavor, but wanted something a little more stable, a lot more comfortable seat for long excursions and the ability to stand without... well, you know... falling out like a goober! The Endeavor has its place, but the Big Game II is my go to for most lakes that I fish the most.
I have a Perception Pescador 12' sit on .
Just sold my Nucanoe and will be picking up my 2015 Hobie Outback Monday.
I'm wanting to try the hands free fishing with peddling.
I have a WS Ride 115, 6' 200#, well, maybe 205. :( Bad lower back, WS seat is comfy for me. :)
My ride is an Ascend FS128T set up for brushpiles and trolling at the lake, drifting on the rivers and camping. Will try to get a picture posted this weekend.
Ascend 128
I am a Hobie fan, but sold em to upgrade the boat. Now I'm rolling in an Ascend FS12T. Got 20% off with my Bass pro VIP card so a great yak for the price.
