Loading PA14 in shortbed truck - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Looking at getting into Kayak fishing for the first time, and have never owned a big kayak. How does everyone deal with a 14' kayak and a 5' short bed truck? I have a 2013 F150 supercrew with the short bed. I also have a collapseable Thule Rack that I used for carrying my 40lb outrigger canoe ... but I am guessing it is impractical to carry a 100lb+ kayak up on those racks without wrecking my back getting it down/up.

Curious to see what the best solution is for transport
