Which Kayak to choose?

Okay I have narrowed it down to two:
ClearWater Design Muskoka 12ft
Or
ClearWater Design Iqaluit 12ft

I would be using the kayak for 1-7 day trips and also alot for fishing. Both kayaks are similar, but the Iqaluit has a much larger cockpit which I would think be an advantage for fishing. I’ve never fished from a kayak and was wondering which would be a better choice for my needs. Do I sacrifice better quality, tracking and speed for better fishing? Does the bigger cockpit really make a huge difference in fishing? FWI im no beginner fisherman.

Muskoka cockpit = 34″ X 16″
Iqaluit cockpit = 51″ X 18″

Would you let your teen fish on the river alone out of a kayak?

There’s a difference between a swimmer and one acquainted with water. He’s been a boater,kayaked, fisherman, etc for 10 years and even is a first mate on a boat.
