Bought one of these from ACK about three years ago and love it. At 34 inches in beam, it is super stable. Nice dry ride. Put a length of 2" PVC pipe into into the rod holders to accept spinning rigs. I first split them about 1/3 via hacksaw. Now the rods are at a perfect arm level. Rigged an anchor trolley to enable anchoring from the stern. This way you can cast with the wind and to boot, not hang up upon the anchor rode when fighting a fish. Plenty of room in stern well for a Plano gear box and fish cooler bag. It is 69 pounds empty and more with gear, so you are gonna' need a dolly to move it around and to launch.

Is one of the most stable kayaks I ever seen. The shipping to Puerto Rico was smooth. Thanks

This is the best kayak I have ever owned. It is the driest kayak I have ever owned. I have owned mine for 3 years and used it many times. I have launched it through the surf to fish for stripers and have use it up in Lake George New York. It is a very stable fishing platform. I am 6 foot 1 and 200lbs. If ocean kayak was smart they would take the rod pod from the trindent series and put it on this kayak. It would become the ultimate kayak. I recently bought an ocean kayak trident 13. The trident 13 is lighter, faster, and has better storage for rods . However the trident is a very wet ride.

I love my Prowler Big Game. I am 325 lbs with a bad knee. This kayak is a dream come true. I paddle through big wakes made by power boaats on my lake with no sense of tipping. this kayak's middle name should be STABLE. Also, I can paddle in four inches of water without scraping. It is amazing.

I have had this Kayak for about 5 months now and love it! I am 6'2" and 360 lbs and have been out in 35 MPH winds and not once have I even felt as though I were going to tip. I ride high in the water even at my size and only get really wet with the High waves. I love this yak and cannot wait to get down to the coast with it. I would Suggest getting the optional rudder system. If not at least an anchor trolley to keep you still and turned right when it is windy! This is a 5 start Kayak and Austin Canoe and Kayak is a 5 start dealer!

This boat is the real deal if you're looking for stability. At 6'1" and retreating from 300 lbs, I have no fear of flipping the Big Game. Lots of options for customization and a ridiculous load capacity round out an ideal platform for many future adventures.

This needs improvement. First, be suspect of no side handles..the dirty little secret is the front mounting hole's screw space inside the 'yak, is already occupied by the moulded-in nut that holds the foot rest assembly. The paddle holder strap retainers are too small for the size of bungee material, and the paddle pops out by itself, of course, at the most inopportune times. I also had one of the worst customer service experiences from Johnson Outdoors, whereas one rep said nuts, washers, and bolts were better to mount the side handles, and then my discovering the design flaw with the moulded-in nut being in the way of the mounting screw, was told by a different rep that rivets are the "only other mounting option". This a week and a half after sending pictures to them.

I'm 6'2", and, let's just say..a little top-heavy. My wife got me interested in 'yakin' but I don't like her tiny kayaks. This is a real man's kayak, even though wearing a spring suit on my first excursion was a self-fulfilling prophecy. Yes, I dumped it, if anyone can flip a kayak it's me. This is the most stable kayak I have paddled. Oh well, off to abalone diving...

I have fished rivers,lakes,bay,and surf on this kayak and it has handled every thing with flying colors. Very stable fishing platform. At 6'3" and 270 lbs. it carries me well. Optional center hatch really opens up some real estate.

Who could ask for anything more? The Ocean Kayak Prowler Big Game Angler Kayak is a great big water yak.
