What I like is that in most places I can catch the same fish on a kayak that most can catch on a boat.

I'm not sure I agree. I would like to see some data suggesting its the fastest growing and know what metrics are used and in what context. Kayak fishing is pretty niche in the realm of fishing and represents a pretty small portion of all outdoor activities. If its based on the percentage of growth relative to what it was 10 years ago i.e. it grew by 400% (just an example as I have no idea what the actual numbers are) that still represents a relatively small percentage of overall "sports" because the sport is so niche.

Edit: Per a quick google search and the first 5 articles dated from may of 2017 to September 2020, not a single one lists kayak fishing. The closest thing was stand up paddle boarding and that was 2nd to paddle tennis on a list from may of 2018. Pickleball and e-sports are at or near the top of each list.
