What is a good fishing kayak for someone that is 6’5? Also are there any tandem fishing kayaks?

The places I would like to try and do some ocean fishing in the Volusia county, Florida area where the waves aren’t really that bad from what i hear. Also, something that wouldn’t be too much of a hassle if I would go by myself as well. I am new to the whole thing and any incite would be greatly appreciated. I plan on catch and release if that matters at all. The more basic the model ( i.e. cheaper) would be nice. Maybe something I can upgrade down the road as well if I get into it more.
I dont plan on going far out into ocean just to clarify most likely in the delta. Also I am set on kayak not canoe just for the fact easier to transport on top of my car, as well as easier for me to do solo.

How is the Ocean Kayak Malibu 2 xl as a leisure and fishing kayak?

I am looking to buy a kayak, and have found a dealer locally that has a tandem, sit on top but I don’t have any opinions about the kayak. I plan on using it as a fishing kayak, solo, and as a way to hang out with friends (unexperienced kayakers) Any pros or cons about this kayak? Thanks! Eileen
