I bought the Perception Striker 11.5 with 2 requirements; I wanted a fishing kayak I could stand in, and I wanted a good buy. Think I got both.

The Striker actually has two seats...a lower seat for paddling and a higher seat that gives you a better vantage to fish from. I put my Yak seat on the higher one and a pad I bought that's designed for kayak racers on the lower. Works great! Actually I can usually paddle from the upper unless I'm going a long distance. It tracks decent, will be better when I get better with the paddle, and I am having a blast fishing out of it. Standing takes a little practice but it's doable. Great kayak for the money. Got mine on sale for $499!
