My last workout I focused on some wide grip lat pull downs, and I reduced the weight by about 15-20% to try and really focus on contracting the muscles. I tried hammering on them. Not sore (I know this isn't a effective way on judging a workout). Anyone have some other good lat exercises? I've been doing straight arm pulldown, lat pull downs, pull ups. Nothing seems to hit them.

Frustration!
I find this helps to focus on form: imagine that there is an orange sitting in between your shoulder blades, and each time you to the concentric motion, squeeze that orange with your shoulder blades. That really helps focus the lats.

At my best, my lats grew a bit, but they were always these two round 'plates' coming down behind me. Not huge fucking cobra wings like halogodv2
