EvanT123 Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Hey Matt, Welcome to br you may want to change your username to hogzilla because those are some hogs. Nice work. 1 Quote
Arv Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Welcome to the forums. For my sake, I'm going to pretend those are all pictures of the same fish. I'm so jealous of you Florida guys and your "winters." On a serious note, nice fish! Quote
Gotfishyfingers? Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Welcome!!!! Nice introduction, those are some hawgs. WTG!! Quote
Jtrout Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Nice fish bro! Welcome to the boards! What did they weigh? Quote
ABW Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 PB between 0-1 pounds yeah right.. Lol but those are some donkeys... Quote
Matt Budd Posted February 1, 2015 Author Posted February 1, 2015 Nice fish bro! Welcome to the boards! What did they weigh? thanks guys. I rarely weigh my fish unless I know they double digit or just a giant. most of the fish in the photos are 5-7lb range. one over eight. im still looking for my slob this year. I don't get many fish under 4lbs on those baits and one spot I fish, the common schoolies run 4-6lbers ( no joke ). Quote
Fisher-O-men Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Crazy! Are those baby bass the 8" or 12"? Quote

Super User roadwarrior Posted February 1, 2015 Super User Posted February 1, 2015 Welcome aboard! Nice fish, great pics! Quote
Super User HoosierHawgs Posted February 1, 2015 Super User Posted February 1, 2015 Those are some killer fish dude! I can't wait to get back out to Florida! Quote
KritterGitter Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 NICE FISH!! Nice setup also, those lexas are beasts. Quote
rchiuz Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Nice fish! I haven't had much luck in South Florida but I can see they are active in Jupiter Congrats and welcome! Quote
Matt Budd Posted February 1, 2015 Author Posted February 1, 2015 NICE FISH!! Nice setup also, those lexas are beasts. yea I like it for the most part. the one problem is when I really huck a bait out hard, the weight of the power handle will slip into gear and the line will either break or the gears will really take a beating. so because of that I think im going to be switching in the near future. Crazy! Are those baby bass the 8" or 12"? that is the 8" baby bass line thru. that was my oldest bait I had bought and I must have got 70+ fish on it before I retired it! Quote
KritterGitter Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Yea the C3 abu with the power handle has the same issue, have you thought of replacing it with the regular paddle handles? Also Ive read that if you have the power handle with the handle knob forward(towards the tip) or pointed downward (towards the ground with reel being parallel with the ground) on a cast its less likely to engage. On a side note I just ordered a Okuma Komodo 350 to replace my setup, might wanna check em out. Wally world has em the cheapest... Ill have it Friday so any questions lemme know. Welcome aboard! 1 Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted February 1, 2015 Super User Posted February 1, 2015 Order the new 2014 Shimano Conquest! In 400 size, palms like 200 w normal paddle grips! Quote
Matt Budd Posted February 1, 2015 Author Posted February 1, 2015 okuma komodo is my next reel! 1 Quote
Super User HoosierHawgs Posted February 1, 2015 Super User Posted February 1, 2015 They make Big Lexa 400's with regular handles as well... I bet you could call Daiwa and get one for yours... Assuming they fit interchangeably. Quote
Super User everythingthatswims Posted February 2, 2015 Super User Posted February 2, 2015 Welcome to the forums. For my sake, I'm going to pretend those are all pictures of the same fish. I'm so jealous of you Florida guys and your "winters." On a serious note, nice fish! Agreed, "winter" Quote
