I went from a 12 ft kc12 to a perception pescador pro10.0 because I mainly fish small creeks and KC 12 was a lot of kayak and it was slow. So far I love the pescador it’s fast and pretty stable not as much as the kc12 was but I didn’t figure it would be. I can say I truely enjoy paddling this kayak not so much with my old boat. Took it out a few times and have done well!!
