After fishing from my sons 8 ft lifetime angler kayak last summer and this summer I finally got myself a kayak
I picked up a slightly used 2017 coosa hd, rockfish(red pattern).
Very stable and easy to stand in even for one over 6'.
So much easier to paddle.
I can fish for several hours without my back killing me and be very comfortable.
They really put some thought into this kayak. So many useful features done right.

lots of room for me and my stuff or if I want to use it for fly fishing can have large open area.

Not a lite boat but still light enough that I can get it on and off the suburban without much effort.

See you all on the water!
Have just been out fishing in it a couple of times after evaluating it on the water but looking forward to many good trips.

Just getting out on the water is better than the bank but getting a nice comfy ride and doing it is just that much better. Congrats on the nice ride

Congrats on a very popular boat. It won't be the boat holding you back at this point. Focus on the water and the fish. Sounds like you have a solid foundation to make it all happen. Congrats again.
