Yeah I forgot to give an update but someone I contacted regarding the kayak (think it was either someone from the company selling it or perception kayaks) sent me a link to a place selling polyethylene (I believe) rods/sticks and a youtube video on how to “weld” the rods into the hole. I ordered some of those and got a heat gun and basically once I found the spot that was leaking I just melted some of the rods into the hull of the kayak there and it seems to work. Like you guys said, need to check what your kayak is made out of first. My “weld” doesn’t look very professional but it stopped water coming in. Luckily it wasn’t a difficult shape as far as the hole. Had it been it might’ve given me more problems.
 

I might need to see if I recently got another hole though. When we went kayaking the Big River several weeks back, my kayak dragged a lot and at the end when we lifted it up, we were getting water dripping on us from another spot. Didn’t seem as big a leak as the other one but I should plug it too one of these days.
