I'm a 6-3, 300 pound football player and my 13 foot endeavor by ocean kayak is a good fishing kayak for big guys. I think the endeavor is basically the trident 13 just changed the name for sale at bass pros. Easy paddle, good for going through surf launch,and pretty stable. But if you got the money I would look into a PA just because they are the best fishing platforms, especially for big guys.

I'm 6'1" 230 and my Malibu XFACTOR its stable for me. It's kind of a beast of a kayak, but tons of storage and fairly stable. Probably not as stable as a PA I'd imagine, but good for the price.

I am 6'1" and 280 lbs. And i carry more equipment than most 2 people. The Trident 15 is a great paddle platform, but initially iy feels tippy if you are not used to kayaks. It will get you where you want to go pretty good, and surfs pretty decent too. The X-Factor and Stealth by Malibu are also rides that you might check out. They are a bit more stable than the Trident but not much slower.
