Yeah anyone who doesn’t like this video, just straight up get off the channel stop watching fishing videos altogether. Go do something that don’t piss people off. Great video Lawson, awesome footage, I feel so bad you couldn’t show it off like you wanted too! But great work man! Keep it coming!
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!!!👍👍😎
Ha!!!! I love watching your videos. Your an awesome kid!!! We have recently purchased some timeshare in Florida so my husband can pursue his love of fishing.... however after starting to follow you I may out fish him... thank you for your knowledge and the awesome videos.
Beautiful tarpon! Those massive strikes at the beginning of the video were enough to make the video for me but that catfish really put the cherry on top Lawson😉.
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!
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.
That was as good as it gets Lawson! 60+ pounder all day. Enthusiasm defines sport fishing & just watching made my blood pressure spike Well earned, congrats!
Really good show . Tarpon are like a large mouth on speed . Great fight . But an FYI . A pod is a group of whales ... Fish are still called a school . Anyway you really do us all great by your work and i'm kinda envious . Keep up the good work and enjoy it . Thanks ...
Congratulations! What a job. I want to make it very clear to those who dont realize just how difficult that was for you to handle a fish of that size by yourself. Absolutely professional. Great job buddy. Truly well done.
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.
Absolute savagery! Solo fishing for monster Tarpon!? Awsome vid. Crazy catch! I work on the road and watching you fish keeps me grounded. Tarpon is at the top of my list. Keep ripping em for us!
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!
I know you were disappointed about losing that fish but I appreciate the fact that you showed that you lost it and that mishaps do happen but at least you got him close you got to see him right up close one-on-one I appreciate your videos thanks a lot they inspire me
Awesome stuff! I used to fish a canal that looked very similar 😉 back in the day. We used cut mullet with a weight. Those canals are loaded with big-ins!
Well done Lawson I was freaking shaking before during and after that fish. Thank you very much. You make a good video. Hope you and yours are safe and healthy
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
I LOVE watching you fish! Awesome Tarpon catch! 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.
Nice video, nice fish! I've kayaked the empty flats of Tampa bay these past week. Saw some big reds and landed a few snook. Hooked a spoon before but took me for a sleigh ride. Tight lines bud. Keep em comin!
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.
Yoooo my dog!!!! I loooove the excitement in your voice!!! Bro this is why we do it!!! Ive never hooked a tarpon but this is the year i get er done!!! Great great vid homie💪👊
Damn bro congrats on having over 142k subscribers ...i subed back when u had nowhere near that. I'm happy for u man u got married n have a nice following online and I'm really glad to see u living ur best life bro. Enjoy every minute of it
Great fish and great job working him. Stay in the boat and snap the leader at the hook you don't need to touch the fish. You did a great job, it is a caught fish.
Definitely consider that beast landed. Nice battle bud. I once caught one over 80 from land in a canal in Port Everglades a long time ago. Never forget that battle.
Lawson just from experience anytime your going for tarpon just have a good pair of fishing gloves handy and try to put them on while your fighting the tarpon when you have a window to do so! You would if definitely got that tarpon. Hands down incredible footage and catch thanks for sharing this brotha! Stay safe and healthy sir
I miss the old song and finally a beast for my dawg Lawson live mullet for the win I think u should always fish like that keep live in the water and throw a spool tek at the same time should be a challenge series live vs lure
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.
What is so wrong whit a proper lip grip???? they are available from small up to xxl sizes (Boga , Berkley ,etc) and don't cost te world. I go slow pitch jigging in a bellyboat (7 bass design, lol) and landed dozens,of Barracudas and Spanish mackerels,whit out eny problems .
Nice fish!! Sucks that it broke off attempting to land it, would have liked to see it up close. Well done anyways, way to hang in there and grind it out all day, was worth it.
Awesome vid! Last year I hooked into about a 125-150 lb tarpon on a 3000 reel. Took me over 5 hours to get him 5 feet from the boat just for him to break off. Amazingly strong fish and so fun to catch
Dude -- that was dope!!! One hell of a tarpon! Nice, damn nice. Congrats on that PB. Just Wow! Long day it seems but well worth it, huh? Knew it was comin' dude -- well deserved!!! Don't worry about the nah-sayers/haters ---- they are jealous of things they can't do themselves and can't stand when someone has success or tops them ... which they'll rarely ever succeed at anything. You're doing it solo my man... in the daylight/daytime!!!! --- Your channel, along with one other --- absolutely the best available!!!!
YOU GOT EM!!!!! he was just a baby😁 I don't kno if you kno live taget got a smaller mullet out then the one you shared a little WATS back and the whole west side ramps are open and you don't have to pay...
Best UA-cam fishing channel out there man. You keep it real and even when you're pumped you keep it collected. Solid fish man. Time to chase that next PB!

Amazing fish bro 😍 Hope to meet you and catch some tarpon one day 🙏🏻
The high pitch of his voice tells us everything
This is my favorite video to date. That was the Lawson I started watching 3 years ago
I woulds 60lb + easy. No worries on the release; we got to see the best part.
Nice fish, Lawson. Congrats!
“They work really really well” *gets hammered by a tarpon* if that isn’t a selling point idk what is 😂
Who are the 4 morons that gave this video a thumbs down? We're locked up and Lawson is showing us his trip! Thanks Lawson!
it makes no sense why people gotta do that
I think there are some people out there that always give thumbs down to videos. Jealousy 🤷🏼♂️
72 morons all karens
Lawson is the real deal!!! That alone will always earn a thumbs down. Haters will alwAys hate, but Lawson has they game under control 😊
Yeah anyone who doesn’t like this video, just straight up get off the channel stop watching fishing videos altogether. Go do something that don’t piss people off.

Amen! Most of my tarpon hook ups last only seconds....
Ha!!!! I love watching your videos. Your an awesome kid!!! We have recently purchased some timeshare in Florida so my husband can pursue his love of fishing.... however after starting to follow you I may out fish him... thank you for your knowledge and the awesome videos.
My heart broke a little bit for you my friend. Such an epic video
Beautiful tarpon! Those massive strikes at the beginning of the video were enough to make the video for me but that catfish really put the cherry on top Lawson😉.
Beautiful Tarpon! Your persistence paid off. Love watching you fish around Florida's east coast.
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!

Everyone can relate to 16:07. That's how most tarpon fishing goes, halarious and awesome vid.

Tarpon are the most beautiful fish and the hardest to land. Favorite fish on Earth!
Do they put up a good fight?
Best additude I’ve ever seen after losing a 60 pound fish 😂
I dont know how, I lost a 6 lbs bass and I just sat down and drove to the ramp. I guess I'm just a babby
is that in any way similar to an attitude?
Really good show . Tarpon are like a large mouth on speed . Great fight . But an FYI . A pod is a group of whales ... Fish are still called a school . Anyway you really do us all great by your work and i'm kinda envious . Keep up the good work and enjoy it . Thanks ...
Cool Lawson . Love the tarps 🐟 tight lines mate 👍🦀🐟🐟🐟🐟🎣
That was alsome. Don't be dissapointed about not holding him up. You fought that fish superbly. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
Congratulations! What a job. I want to make it very clear to those who dont realize just how difficult that was for you to handle a fish of that size by yourself. Absolutely professional. Great job buddy. Truly well done.

lawson bro nice fish, 4 fingers in thumbs out you gotta grab big poon like if you're hanging off a balcony
Absolute savagery! Solo fishing for monster Tarpon!? Awsome vid. Crazy catch! I work on the road and watching you fish keeps me grounded. Tarpon is at the top of my list. Keep ripping em for us!
Great footage! What an awesome beast...well done Lawson.
Congrats Lawson! The rod holder is one of the best ways to hook a tarpon on live bait.
Congrats!!! That’s an awesome fish! No worries about not getting it up for the cam! We saw tons of it!
You got the best of him brother !!!! Love the bloopers keepin it real 😂
Awesome video Lawson. What a tank!
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.
That ending was hilarious! I love watching your videos man. Really great content. Stay safe and tight lines.
Dude....My dawg!!! That was an awesome video!!!! Dang Lawson, keep this up...so good my dawg!!!! Stay safe brother!!!
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!

Tuff deal getting the shot and landing a huge tarpon by yourself. Keep the videos rolling. 👍
Well done Lawson
I was freaking shaking before during and after that fish. Thank you very much. You make a good video. Hope you and yours are safe and healthy

lawson goes to say, they work really really well, then a tarpon procedes to destroy it that instant
Those were awesome blow ups! And what an epic fight!

My dawg!!! Congrats on the new PB. Keep grindin for those of us that cant right now.
Saw your video of the tarpon jumping on reddit earlier but didn't realize it was you until I watched this vid. Keep up the amazing content👍
Great fish and great job working him. Stay in the boat and snap the leader at the hook you don't need to touch the fish. You did a great job, it is a caught fish.
Definitely consider that beast landed. Nice battle bud. I once caught one over 80 from land in a canal in Port Everglades a long time ago. Never forget that battle.
Awesome job on your PB tarpon! Cool bonus blowups too.

Good catch dude this is the type of fishing you should start doing. You should be on the big leagues now.🇭🇳
Dream fish ! Well done Lawson.
Lawson just from experience anytime your going for tarpon just have a good pair of fishing gloves handy and try to put them on while your fighting the tarpon when you have a window to do so!

Glad to see your still out on the water catching absolute slobber knockers!!!
Badass video, and congrats on the fish! Don't listen to all of these "pros" in the comments
Congrats Lawson nice fish. I was saying right before you did it. Put the mullet rod in a holder, and leave it alone while you fish the artificial.
Your vids always get me fired up amazing as always buddy stay safe and tight lines my friend!
Tried lipping a tarpon 😂 should just grabbed him by the tail then bellied him. Great catch!
What is so wrong whit a proper lip grip????
they are available from
small up to xxl sizes
(Boga , Berkley ,etc)
and don't cost te world.
I go slow pitch jigging
in a bellyboat (7 bass design, lol) and landed
dozens,of Barracudas and
Spanish mackerels,whit out eny problems .
@@gabe.ch5555 A lip grip on something that big is asking to lose a lot of skin off the hands.
I always grab tarpon by the lip
Great fish man!!! Gotta go back to the same spot for a bigger one now!!!
Nice fish!! Sucks that it broke off attempting to land it, would have liked to see it up close. Well done anyways, way to hang in there and grind it out all day, was worth it.
Thanks for cool videos. Happy easter
This vid is amazing. Hope that yall are doing well. Plus who can dislike this banger of a fishing episode. Keep up the great work.
Oh my dude what a battle what’ a great job to be able to touch that fish. Well done.
Congrats bro. That's an awesome fish 👍🏽👊🏽

That’s fishin’. Good catch man! I still count those close break offs as catches.
Leader touches are a catch when you C&R
I was dying at the ending 🤣 let it out my friend Awesome video.
Best UA-cam fishing channel out there man. You keep it real and even when you're pumped you keep it collected. Solid fish man. Time to chase that next PB!
Amazing fish bro 😍 Hope to meet you and catch some tarpon one day 🙏🏻
Vaybe bende diyorumki buralar niye aydınlanmış demek sen varsın🤩😍💖🌹🥳
Seni seviyorum savaş abi ben senin aboneciyim🌹💖
Ama balığı niye almadı😐🤔
Damn! I’m not gonna lie I’m a little bummed for you, but you can’t get any closer. That’s a land in my book. Beautiful fish👊🤙
Lmfao the ending clip. The true behind the scenes realities of fishing 😂
You did better than I. I hooked a Tarpon once. It lasted maybe 15 seconds and snapped my line. It was a good 15 seconds, though. Lol
Wow. Good job with the fishing and the filming bro!
Awesome fish brotha. Keep up the good work
HOT JEMIMA! Lol Big tarpin! Nice job. I have had the impression you are a man of faith. Yes? No?
Not with that Salty language...Love your vids..Just don't enjoy the language sometimes..Kids watching too...Best of luck!
Great fight !! 🎣
Congrats !! 👍👍
Congrats, nice job handling that beast. You definatly need to get a boga.
Another great vid man thanks!!! ...good fish!!!
Dude! Epic battle! I was thinking when you were trying to lip the fish that no way you'd be able to control that monster.
Nice fish, Awesome Lawson.
Lawson great job buddy!
That was a sick video nice tarpon man. Do some more vids targeting tarpon man
How high wrrr you when you picked that intro beat 😂
I love ur vids I watch them allll the time ur my inspiration to keep fishing and trying to catch those monster fish
