I happened to take the x factor out yesterday and got limits on the bugs!!

I purchased the x factor after having a tarpon 160 and due to my size (6'5 and a slim 285) the X factor was a dream!!!

What a way to bless your X-Factor! I still havent pulled a legal bug yet.

Right hahaha. I was supposed to go home after the bar but got out of the bar too late and wasn't prepared with camping gears lol. Couldn't stand the cold outside so I left my chair in line and went to the car to get warm and fall asleep for 2 hrs . Luckily everybody was nice and didn't kick me off my spot LOL.

Hey fellas This is my first post Just looking to say hello to the community and that i'm looking forward to sharing my fishing adventures here in the future. I had been fishing from a buddies extra kayak a perception kingfish. For how cheap this kayak was I will say it rides pretty well and is very stable but being that i'm 6'3 300 pounds I wanted something with a higher weight capacity (the kingfish had a capacity of 325 lbs). So after weeks of scouring craiglist for a good deal on an x factor or stealth 14 I found the ad for the blem sale and decided to call in from work and run down the morning of. I arrived at 7:50 AM and of course I was at the back of the line but hey i made it! Unfortunately within 30 seconds or so of the gates opening all the coveted Stealths and x factors were gone before I even made it through the gates but I did manage to get my hands on X 13 before it was too late. I was a little worried I wouldn't like it because I was used to riding a wider kayak ( the kingfish definitely felt more stable side to side ) but after fishing it a couple times already I think i will be able to adjust pretty quickly. I'm still gonna keep my eyes open for a good deal on an X factor but i'm more than happy with what I got and plan to fish it like all hell. My buddy came with me and picked himself up a stealth 9 for a second kayak and he loves that little thing already... stand up sight fishing in the harbor on a 9 foot yak is sick!! Here's a couple pics of the first few trips.
