Definitely invest in a high back seat if you have a bad back. I got a surf-to-summit GTS seat. They are not cheap but if you're in pain, you won't use the kayak either. Also, with a sit-on-top, you can hang your legs over the sides to relieve the pressure (and wake your ass up) and get on/off easier.
King Cove sells Wilderness Systems kayaks. The Tarpon is their line of sit-on kayaks that are easy to setup for fishing.
The 120 is a nice kayak for fishing in estuaries and inshore. It's not a speed demon but it's a good all around boat to start with.
The 140 may be more seaworthy and would cover more distance but at your weight you will always have 1 to 2 inches of water in the cockpit since the floor is flat.
Check out the Prowler13 also. If I didn't already have 3 kayaks, I'd have one of those.
Most kayaks that come rigged for fishing have rod holders in the back. You might want to think about a holder in the front so that you don't need to turn and reach. My preference is a RAM tube up front for trolling a tube.
