O.K. Prowler Big Game Angler for Big Fisherman...

I upgraded from the Wilderness Systems Pungo to the Ocean Kayak Big Game Angler 2 years ago. I had no complaints with the Pungo, just kinda "outgrew" it. I'm 6'3" and well past 350lbs and the Big Game does great! It is slow, but it's ok, so am I. I don't see me doing any white water rapids or sea touring. I bought it to fish out of, and that is what it does best. Stability is extremely well, haven't fallen in yet and storage space is also nice. I upgraded to the comfort deluxe backrest with the optional hydration pack that attaches to the seat back, and I also have an anchor trolley rig on it. I'm planning on attaching a small trolling motor (30-36lbs... haven't decided yet) and fish finder hopefully this year.

Great kayak for fishing! If you get one you won't be disappointed.
