There are many models that can accommodate my girth. I will forward some info on my findings via PM. I really like the Kayak w/retractable pontoons, it appears to be very a very stable platform.
I could care less what someone w/ low self esteem anonymously replies to my post. Obviously, he has no other outlet for his self-loathing.
Hopefully, we can share information without attracting sophomoric remarks.

I am 265lbs and 6'2" and I use a Cobra Fish&Dive which I think carries the most weight of any yaks. It's cap is 600lbs

Ocean Kayak Prowler Big Game. Nice lay it easy to paddle. Recommend getting one with a rudder.

Check out Seaeagle.com I have a 330 that has supported my 6'2" 265lb frame just fine. I use it in the surf and it's a blast(not fishing). I have fished on it but it was tough. The 330 isn't the right model to fish with. They make some good fishing models as well. Solid company and pretty affordable plus easy to store, etc.

Call KFS, they'll tell you all you need to know. I don't think there's any shortage of overweight fishermen, so don't worry about people busting your stones a little.
Plus the bayliner comment was pretty funny.
Avoid the Tarpon 140. It tends to ride low. I'm 220 and get about an inch of water.
One thing though, regarless of body weight, you will need to be in decent shape to kayak safely. I'm pretty fit, but I've had the wind pick up and shift away from the truck, and really struggled to make it back agianst wind and chop.
You may want to ask about the Hobie.
