who knows - you might make it in OEX team one day Ryan, when you grow up.

That is only if you start catching big fish consistently, not once in a while.

Hey, watch out for sneaker bars... I heard these BWE guys are fast on them.lol

That MiniX 1/2 a kayak is pretty cool I think.

..for 1/2 a kayak.

Fish look bigger on them.

Yea they do look bigger.

How is it to catch bigger fish on the Mini? Does it get pulled around a lot or remain stable?

It looks like you could stow a 6 -7 foot rod down thru the front hatch and drop a yellowtail in thru the center hatch?

i have both a cobra fish n dive and a malibu mini x....my opinion they paddle the same...i use a 240 cm paddle on both, i first started with a 220 paddle but its just way to short and kept hitting the side of the kayak...mini x is good if you're not gonna haul alot of stuff...
just out of the subject im selling my malibu mini x its only seen the water twice...selling it for $475, bought it brand new from oex 3 months ago...its a fish and dive package color is stone....

how many hatches you got..? I think I only want the center hatch...the more hatches the more water you get inside it seems..

It handles just like the other boats. In fact, it's almost easier to fight a fish on the mini since it is so short...you never have a problem getting the rod tip around the bow. And the mini turns much quicker than the bigger boats so I think you'd be LESS likely to get pulled over sideways.

I've never tried to stuff a rod down the front but it would probably work. The big center hatch is great and you could put a ton of stuff below if so inclined.

That's the newest one - living close to the beach?!? lol

What is it, it is no longer time on the water, skill, whatever?!?

It's the damn luck, and the lucky ones will place in the top on WCW.

Everyone can troll bait and get bit, right?

Cmon Ryan, you know you're serious contender.

I hear it's a big $$ this year...

It's not only $50 x the number of people...
I hear ther's like 1.7 K up for grabs already, with <20 people signed up...

...and that is without JP $$....

GAME ON!
