Looking for a Kayak - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I've owned both and the Trident is a far superior kayak. The FND is ok in the surf but the Trident beats it hands down during landings. I'm a big guy at 5'9" and 250 lbs. And the Trident is stable in any type of sea or chop.
The FND tends to catch an edge in the surf zone and needs you to be very good about high bracing. It does fish great and is very comfortable. A good cadence in your paddle and it moves at a reasonable speed.
