    That's a fish of a lifetime bro! Tarpon are so smart and so powerful that anything over 40 lbs is just rare these days. You did everything under the sun correctly to land him but that's as close as you can come and really after hand leadering him it's official anway. Nice job my dawg congrats on one badass fish!!!👍👍😎

    Lawson, that was THE most awesome video and aside from the incredible monster Tarpon. You were steering the boat for the sake of the camera! I can’t begin to comprehend how you were able to juggle so many things just for us to see this gorgeous beast of a Tarpon. I would have had brown pants just trying to keep it hooked. So NOT Googan Squad. I’m glad you’re not an official member, they don’t deserve your class and skill in and out of the water. I hope you read my DM I sent several days ago. I hope you’re able to repair whatever needs repairing after this fish catch. I’m very glad you were able to be safe throughout this whole adventure and thank you so much for sharing this amazing fish with us. Thanks!

  • @RadReelingFishing
    @RadReelingFishing 4 роки тому +2

    So suspenseful. Thanks for grinding it out to get an epic video hook up. I think you underestimated the size of that fish's weight. I'd say ninety pounder all day long. I've never landed a big tarpon, but it seems I saw a video showing the best way to grab them is with the fingers in the mouth and the thumb under the jaw. That looked like a serious challenge to land that fish. You got excellent video footage. Thanks for delivering another awesome adventure.

  • @michaelminoughan5879

  • @chrisstinson2656
    @chrisstinson2656 4 роки тому

    Damn! Feel the pain Lawson. Can’t say I’ve ever had a Tarpon on that size, but I’ve lost a few other monsters at the boat that were heartbreaking. It’s always nice to have that pic with that PB fish you battled and set free.

    I think you were selling that fish short at 50. 99 times out of 100 I think people over-eyeball their fish on UA-cam, but that was a 60-75lb tarpon. Great poon man well done. You touched the leader it counts.

    It is a touhed leader and you actually touched the poon so that counts as a caught fish! That poon was all day a 70 pounder!!! I have played with them size tarpon and they are no joke! My largest one stands between 180 and 200 pounds and it was just over 6 ft long! Congrats on your catch there Lawson!

    Awesome Tarpon. My wife is friends with your mother her name is Meagan Panton. I subscribed to your channel a while ago you’re doing a great job. I watched at least one video at night. First time commenting though. I just got a tsunami saltX 6000 ! I’ve been Tarpon fishing with some huge 7 inch pencil baits and I’ve been smashing the tarpon. Nothing quite that big but pretty good. Just across from MacArthur Park there’s some paths that you can get down and fish from the beach there. Some mangrove action but mainly out in the middle is where they’re striking. I know your commute to put the boat it is way up in Sebastian probably. Anyways keep up the good work love the channel

The Bonus Footage at the end was cool, never heard you use the F-Bomb before, they would have heard me in Michigan if I had one break me off like that. Haven’t fished in three weeks, fuckers closed all my spots down, basically missed the bass spawn and that moon the other night...going in the morning, might get locked up but we shall see.

  • @michaelsimko7694
    @michaelsimko7694 4 роки тому

    Those were awesome blow ups! And what an epic fight!
    That's so much like monster bluefish up here in the Northeast. Fast, powerful, aggressive fish that have a good chance of coming off during their crazy tarpon-like jumps, play a tug-of-war type of fight, and start getting pretty crazy once they see the boat.
    I'm looking forward to more of this type of action Lawson, whether it be tarpon, jacks, snook, reds, or some of those 12 pound bluefish I've seen you catch.

    First of all congrats on the beautiful tarpon. I used to mate on a charter boat out of the outer banks in my youth, fished all the tournaments in the carolinas, caught some big blue marlin, by big i mean over 400 lbs, but in my opinion there is no fish more badass than big tarpon! Pure energy. Maybe when this is all over you should take a trip to nicaragua and go tarpon fishing. Monsters await.
