You can't have alot of drag with grooper or any sort of reaf fish as the moment they get hooked they go straight back into the honey hole. Im not to sure about river groopers tho. In Australia with the red and blue grooper we have here the moment you hook them do everything you can to keep them away from the little cave or little rock holes.
I found a really good lake in Jupiter if your looking to do some bass fishing local. In the 3-7 pound range and hardly any smaller it's really strange. Really easy access to fish, hit me up if interested and let you know where.
They’re predominantly used for pelagic salt water fish. Dog fights and stellas are in a league of their own in terms or stopping power and quality for GT ect
Don't get into fly fishing... Thousands bucks for a top line reel (a curado equivalent in fly fishing) do they make a difference like going from a 50$ baitcaster to a curado? Absolutely not 😂😂
Never caught a Goliath but it amazes me how much power they seem to have even at 20 pounds. I always thought people exaggerated their strength but I'm guessing they're just that strong. Can anyone verify how powerful they actually are?
I have a slammer 8500 and it works great. If you want an even better deal imo, look at quantum cabos. Theyre 120 (same as an 8000) is 320 and has 65 pounds of drag. And lighter. My mom uses one and its the smoothest full size reel I've ever felt. And not many people have heard of them
So here's my question Lawson: "What is the brand of ROD you were using, type of rod action (flex, stiff or medium) and braid weight on that Rod. Do you think the value of the rod is good, and if so why?
Wow what a workout with those mini beasts! Exactly... I've seen videos people catching these monster size...man you need metal cable lines and be able to bench 500lbs to reel the full size ones...I hope to see that one day but I'm sure you'll get a hernia to pull one full size.

This place is beautiful, it has big fish, it seems here in Brazil where I fish. Congratulations your fishing equipment is very good.👍🎣🐟😎😎
The 350 I caught off Tampa is the only fish in my life that pinned the rod to the side of the boat and I could not lift it off. You get why they have to be so heavily protected, they're so aggressive that if you could keep them it wouldn't be difficult to destroy a local population.
If AJ’s are “ reef donkeys “ then Goliath Grouper must be “ bridge mules “. You got off easy... you didn’t have to go to the gym for your workout. Great video Lawson!
Saw the thumbnail on my phone and thought "that does not look like a bridge monster". Watched later on my computer and realized the thumbnail was of the bait, lol. Nice couple of fish👍 Those things pull so hard.
If you get a 150 pounder, your current setup won't be able to get the job done. You will need to go back to conventional gear. A 5'8" rod with a gimbal butt paired up with a Shimano Talica II 50 using 200 lbs braid mainline and a top shot of 400 lbs mono or fluoro tied to an Owner Super Mutu circle hook. Use a gimbal belt and harness to short-pump the fish.
zThose are little toddlers compared to how big those guys really get. Down here in Sanibel we regularly catch 120-180 lb monsters under the bridge coming over to the island from mainland. Cool vid but those were babies compared to how big they get😎
Hello Great catch , just a simple question, i have seen so many video people catching and releasing giant goliath groupers, just curious why dont peole eat them ?? R they too old have worms or what ??
Head over to the Ramp on 15th st and Hook that Goliath Grouper, you better eat you wheaties and drink your milk cause he's a monster under those docks.
Awesome video lawson but aye this girl kaylee use to watch me watch your videos and she said she knew you i was shocked when she actually wrote you and you replied
That Tern is great for big snook, reds, or decent for most bottom fishing. However you need to step into a Boss Valiant for those goliath grouper. My 2 speed BV 500 was $650.00 made in the USA and with 70+ pounds of drag I guarantee it would absolutely smoke that Chinese daiwa.
This is a great video... I did comment on another video that you filmed at the same bridge and said you should get yourself some heavy fishing gear and try to rip that bridge troll out from those fenders... GUESS WHAT... you did it!!!!!! NOW let's see you catch a large jack and send it down there with a hand line and see how big some of those bridge monsters can be! I bet there are a few 300 or 400 pound behemoths down there.
When Lawson starts grunting u know it’s real
I always grunt when im into something with any sorta size lol
Uhhh
Sounding like Macho Man 😄
Don't you mean reel? Lol!

You love that bridge!!!
Nice work bro love the video
FINALY I LOVE THESE VIDS

Could someone justify to me why that Daiwa reel is $1,100?... seems outrageous.
Awesome fish. To imagine catching a 200-300 pounder with rod and reel. Crazy. Good job there Lawson.
I can’t imagine spending that much on a reel insanity. Like the two Curado DCs I bought were painful enough lmao

Sweet reel, but maybe try and loosen the drag, maybe you could've had that big one
It didnt snap him it got him into the fenders. Thats why you lock it down and drag them out when fishing structure
His line had a heavier test rating than the max drag on his reel
Never caught a Goliath but it amazes me how much power they seem to have even at 20 pounds. I always thought people exaggerated their strength but I'm guessing they're just that strong. Can anyone verify how powerful they actually are?
yes i have caught a 70 ounder they are strong
Penn Slammer would get the job done, no need to spend thousands to buy a reel
Yeah especially how affordable they are the 10500 goes for 350$(I think) they have 60 pounds of drag
Yup u have a slammer 7500 and lovvvvveee it!
I have a slammer 8500 and it works great. If you want an even better deal imo, look at quantum cabos. Theyre 120 (same as an 8000) is 320 and has 65 pounds of drag. And lighter. My mom uses one and its the smoothest full size reel I've ever felt. And not many people have heard of them
yeah i use a 5500 penn slammer on a pe 1-3 jigging rod i always have loved that reel that drag can stop 9kg red emperor and 10kg black spot cod
Grouper's like "I got yo proper release right here...SPLASH!! Git yo hands offa me right meow, human!" 😄
You really flexing on us with that 1100$ reel.
Calvin I’ll slap ya
@@LawsonLindseyFishing You wouldn't say that to my face ya fool
@@calvin6609 Yeah bc it would turn you on, you breakfast food fetish freak
He did but I love it
I purchased one right after I saw this video
Truth is, we are just all here for Otis
Now that felt like the old Lawson video’s, very nice.
If you want that much drag why not go with the PENN SLAMMER3 reels? I have a 10500 spooled with 500yds of 100lbs spectra with a price tag of only $350
So here's my question Lawson: "What is the brand of ROD you were using, type of rod action (flex, stiff or medium) and braid weight on that Rod. Do you think the value of the rod is good, and if so why?
Dude when you let out that groan i swear you could be In a metal band😂 hmu if you want to play music some time 😂👌

Goliath videos are my absolute favorites... the ultimate battle!!
For anyone wondering, you CAN take juvenile Goliath grouper out of the water

First
Like!
Otis is the cutest dog
where can i get that hat in the beginning of the video?
I’m here for the river monsters!! 🤘🎣

What a click bait title. $1100 reel is common for enthusiast. Even myself who only fish casually owned more than 4 x reel that cost over a grand.
Lol Penn slammer 4 10,500 would have done it. 60 lbs drag and only $400. You could have saved $700!
I got a frenchie that I take fishing also!! Lol check him out on IG: OutdoorOtys
Hello Great catch , just a simple question, i have seen so many video people catching and releasing giant goliath groupers, just curious why dont peole eat them ?? R they too old have worms or what ??
That goliath has got to be a little more then 15-20 pound wouldn't you think? I was thinking more like 30 pound
Head over to the Ramp on 15th st and Hook that Goliath Grouper, you better eat you wheaties and drink your milk cause he's a monster under those docks.
This was a cool video man. I’m glad to see you change it up a little bit. I’m a huge fan man, just want to see some different content.
Awesome video, I will be fishing with live baits. Don't understand the thumbs down kids.👍
Who makes that rod that the dogfight was on? That looks like one to take to the grouper holes 20 miles out.
I've been promoting you man but you gotta keep the hands outa the gills...seriously.
Picked up two dogfight 8000 for $414 each at west marine got last two in the system
Always watch your videos thought i jad subscribed my bad, how did you attach your leader to your main line?
Hey there Lawson, where was this video made? I live around the area but don’t recognize the bridge.
Awesome video lawson but aye this girl kaylee use to watch me watch your videos and she said she knew you i was shocked when she actually wrote you and you replied
Hey Lawson do you think that would have worked out if this grouper was 50 lb just asking
Are you fishing that bait unweighted? Surprised it swims straight for the grouper, wish more baits were like that
Awesome video my UA-cam friend. What are the specs on that rod your using?
This hurts me. I literally fish that bridge all the time and don't catch shit. I do get alot fo snapper just north of it tho.
how long have you had that trolling motor ?
any problems so far can decide between minnkota or motor guide .
heard minnkotas break too often ?
Honestly the motor guide has been mediocre
I need a video of you fishing with your dog sometime soon
Die someone notice that the Handlenut is gone?
Or does it just look that the bare axle comes out of the Body?
Yo check out my pics on fb if you have the time I can put you on some big grouper inshore Craig myers on fb
great content, and catches. but jesus there are too many ads on this channel. every 3 minutes got hit with one.
Must be nice. Good for you. I get to Watch from my P.O.S. apt..
Love the vid man I wish I could fish with you lol
What size rod are you using i have a van staal vsb150 and want similar rod
Lol I read the title and said "he's finally using the dogfight"
Second
Does anyone know what kind of program does Lawson use to edit his videos?
Does anybody know what program Lawson uses to edit videos ?
I love the way you put the beginning of this video together now let’s see some action!!!
Hi Lawson. A hug from Brazil, Kalua s team. Ian
How much time are you putting in on that concept 2 rower in the living room?
Quality of these videos has gone up and up but this one really takes the first place. Amazing video as always Lawson. Stay safe
I agree
Lawson, what brand, model and lure/line class is that rod?
Getting your ass kicked. You need to start a push up regimen
That Tern is great for big snook, reds, or decent for most bottom fishing. However you need to step into a Boss Valiant for those goliath grouper. My 2 speed BV 500 was $650.00 made in the USA and with 70+ pounds of drag I guarantee it would absolutely smoke that Chinese daiwa.
Also stop setting the hook on those circle hooks. The work much better on just tension
Get out of my fishing spot 😁
Is that rod your using the G-Loomis E6X 8’0” Mag Heavy cause that’s the rod you had with your Saragosa 6000 with
I was wondering what rod that was
Yes it is
Are you willing to give up bridge spot??
Great job ! If you guys are ever in Cabo San Lucas let us jnow and we can Collaborate in the video. We will get you on some fish for sure.
Will you be doin games with subs on twitch??
Cool vid man , you should do more like this 👍
You should show more of your bait catching
You talked about the reels but what rod were you using?
Jesus vaping and looking high AF.... I remember why I UnSubscribed...
Where was he vaping?
Can I ask where you were fishing? I may have been there
Go out there with a stronger rod and use a fighting harness.
Keep up the good work,Iove your channel
i hope your wife gets a nice bag every time you get a reel
try to catch a monster grouper on a handline!!!
The person who left the line in that fish is the lone dislike on here
This is a great video... I did comment on another video that you filmed at the same bridge and said you should get yourself some heavy fishing gear and try to rip that bridge troll out from those fenders...

I bet there are a few 300 or 400 pound behemoths down there.
This is one of the most exciting videos I've seen yet
The person who left the line in that fish is the lone dislike on here
I like the channel but take his lisp😭😭😭😭
You need a heavier rod for that dogfight
That goes to show you. You get what you pay for!!!
How do you like the 3 bladed troll motor prope?
There are some of those monsters at Sebastian inlet
I love how you farmed a fish when the dinner bells were ringing.
Don't shoot your eye out with the line. Where glasses Thanks for the video
Grooper are very nice tasting fish.
just followed twitch have a good day
do more groper fishing with a elecric reel
Sthufferin sthuccatath! Thththththththhhhhhsssss
Man that looks like so much fun. I want to catch one bad. Been on my bucket list for a while.
