Description:

Really curious to know what sort of spider this is. Hairy legs, huge pedipalps..... I'm guessing its a jumper of some sort but idk.

I think you are right. The hairy legs and huge pedipalps seem distinctive. That was the only shot I took. Thanks for the help.

This looks like a male Lynx Spider, genus Oxyopes I think. Do you have any other views? Here is a link that might help you with an ID: http://bugguide.net/node/view/15150/bgpage
