Hab's asked me to post this series of pictures.

Absolutely UNBELIEVABLE!!!

What is the fish in that first picture?

I assume the bluefish looking fish are either blues or amberjack..

Thanks Bernzy Just got these from a International customer who is VERY HAPPY with the Performance as I am. The fourth photo is OVER 90lbs. and called a GT. Waiting for I.d on the other speices, There is debate at times on Split rings and swivels versus screw eyes. and cut hooks or closed eye. And the swivels and split rings held, ALSO the V.M.C hooks did not BEND . It proves to ME what I already NEW........... Top quality components WILL hold up......................

COOL!!!

i want to id your. nevermind
Boy I just woke up, take me phishing today
want to wear pants and take You out to eat Boy:smash:

nice advertisement habs.....


Quality components and excellent craftsmanship. how can you go wrong?

now can I have my lure? > ho in training

Looks like a dogtooth tuna? :huh:
Same as in the international plug thread... have a killer rep for fighting very hard; as do GT's
They are on my someday list...
:D
When I have a nice job and some money...
Or maybe never :smash:

Awesome plugs as usual Habs :D

I think the first two are GTs (giant trevally) too, the 3rd is a blooo bastage from the looks of it, and the last one looks like some kind of small tuna. I don't think an amberjack has those little finlets towards the tail :confused:

MikeP - any idea on #4 ??

I think #4 is a giant jack trevally

so are 1 and 2

# 4 is a Giant Trevally just shy of 100lbs. And the last one is a Yellow Fin Tuna...................

i want a habs =D

Well the next thing you know ol' Hab's a millionaire...
Da kin-folk said "Hab, move away from there."

"SO he packed up his bags and moved to Westerly....."

From the looks of it, HAB's ain't in Kansas anymore!:happy:

Oh HABS can I get my 3.5 oz needle autographed.:happy:

Maybe PLASTIC TOOOOOOOOOO................ ;) NEEDLEFISH

If you make it they will come. :D

I wonder what a 100-pound giant trevally-catching-custom Habby would fetch at some foo-foo marina on Grand Bahama?
I don't think those dudes are picking through the lure bins at Job Lot - they look like they wipe their butts with c-notes.....

Might be a Dog tooth Tuna, they around that area and have a more slender profile than most tuna. If you can see the mouth then there would be no doubt, they have teeth like a barracuda.

so habs does that make the habs yearly prize now out of our local hands ? 100 # fish on a habs are harder to come by

No Chris its ONLY BASS that WIN IT............Hey guess what I'm PAINTING NOW................ ;)

Sweet

good I still have a shot ! I want one and iron mike already has one . not that he didnt deserve it or that it makes him a bad guy .

no one disturb the habs guy ........................... he is painting

Chris ,Disturb me anytime............................. :cheers:

:confused: so lemme get this straight..the Habs guy is disturbed?

Hey needle man. howd ya do:confused:

BM, It was a STUBBY and SPOOK night............... ;)

did You wear the Hat:confused:

It was VERY VERY spooky:eek:

was it way spooky:confused:

BM, Super Stubby and Spook Spooky.......ALL WHITE...........

What's up with the white? I'm hearing that from a lot of people....

I know several guys that landed nice bluefin tuna on habs needles this season. No photos :( . The trick was to pull behind a dragger when he is hauling up his gear or shovling his by-catch overboard and cast a needle in the mix and hang on.

If they can take that kind of pressure, they can handle any bass. Like my friend said..."when in doubt, cast a Habs"

Holy crap-o-la batman! Those weren't caught in the canal.:spin:

Mr. Sandman, Thanks for the info More photos to show when I get them from the Others...............How them split rings working out.

JHABS,

Those doubles are the strongest split rings for their size I have ever seen and the triples are overkill (but some people like overkill).

I have not been able to destroy the doubles you sent me. And they are the ideal size for most plugs.

All of the ones sold in packages in the shops (that I have seen and used) of the same ring OD are made of thinner wire and will open, esp with a big fish when used with VMC trebles with braid line and graphite rods in strong currents. (weakest link syndrome)

I will give you a call about ordering some of the triples after the fall run for next season.


Thanks again for providing the angler with quality gear.
