I Fished Florida Spillways for a Week With Only Giant Swimbaits

[@user-gu3wx7fe9c]

Is it just me or do all viewers remember you are almost ALWAYS by yourself getting all this footage?!! All while balancing and climbing around on rocks, navigating, camera placement, lighting, thinking about the story and content you are getting AND fishing conditions, safety, weather and fishing strategies!!! Not to mention carrying all your equipment! Incredible! So many things had to go right in a matter of a few minutes when you hooked that big snook! Way to quickly and calmly bring it all together!!! Congratulations!

[@JesseG085]

Good on you for cleaning up other people's laziness and setting a good example.

[@mikeanderson5822]

Great job

[@sikamoreify]

💯 Props to Lawson for using his voice to bring attention to this problem. This is something I always do as well but it’s just disheartening how many anglers out there have zero respect for conservation. At our local ponds in Los Angeles I leave every spot with pockets full of discarded line and have caught and freed at least 2-3 geese who are tangled in line. You see a lot who have already just lost limbs. Absolutely no excuse to leave a cutoff on the ground. Laziness.

[@robm9181]

Others said it, but this video was awesome. The dedication, passion, anxiety, and finally the relief and triumph at the end came through.

[@Mr.Trixxx]

This was probably one of the best fishing videos I have ever seen

[@kriskeene3910]

Lawson, you’re a true Florida outdoorsman. Respect

[@RyanMorie]

It’s been a few years since I watched one of your videos, GREAT work brother! The storytelling and tenacity are a step above most everyone else. Keep doing you dawg 🍻 P.S. lmk if you want some BKK replacement trebles 😂

[@LawsonLindseyFishing]

Haha some freshie BKK’s would go a long way over here

[@ButlerServiceProductions]

​@LawsonLindseyFishing where is that giant dam it looks familiar id love to fish it

[@Kodysbackwoodsbasics]

This video helps show people how much time can actually be involved with big fish catches. To many people see a picture of people with big fish and think people are always catching them. This just helps show what is all involved!

[@randomjackson574]

Lawson, you are the heartbreak kid of putting in so much time on small bodies of water, love how you put it out how much time you actually spent in that spot. Most people watch fishing videos, think its fish after fish after fish.. I work winters in Florida, got a poke boat, and when weather permits, i get over in the mangroves on weekends on the backside of Sanibel. Some days i see 200-300 snook and reds cruising, some absolute monsters mixed in, throw the arsenal at them, and they just wont go. Its that one half hour of right place, right time when you are there that makes it all worth it. snook sleep 23 1/2 hours a day sleeping, The other half hour eating everything they can see. You get itchy for a gulfside trip....

[@Agent_OB]

In my expirence when possible its best to cast before the water spills over and let your bait get tossed around, they are waiting for stunned fish to come over that flow

[@rickeeporter5952]

Brother.....I love your content. Your videos are so well edited and so heart felt. I just want to say thank you sir and tight lines.

[@kevindavis7790]

I absolutely love watching videos like this almost feels as if I'm there fishing with you thank you for bringing us along with you

[@caughtupfishing1928]

I tried to tell you 6 yrs ago how awesome spillway are!!! Blue and white flarehawks!!!

[@AbenzFishing]

You found the one - great video as always man! 👏

[@palmstopinesoutdoors9304]

Lawson has always been a first class dude and that interaction with the stranger just solidified it

[@BBB_025]

Thumbs up for the PSA. Nobody should have to be told, and yet way too many people do not get it

[@drakewelch3385]

Ahhh nice to see Brightline, the devourer of cars and souls

[@marshallguerra1353]

Great job. 👏 picking up the braided line. And getting to ride of it. !!!!

[@cedomirvlajic8909]

Accurate representation of big baiting reality. Perfection, great job!

[@FishingBiodiversity]

That is a goood challenge! Cheers from Italy!

[@jamesmcdermott6934]

Yeah you definitely put in the work on that one!!! Nice!

[@Anglerissues]

It’s always a good day after you come back from fishing all day and Lawson has a new video.

[@bassassassinnn7459]

Thank YOU Lawson! Been a minute since your last upload. Always look forward to your content.

[@bobbyswain7049]

Persistence pays off.......every single time. Nice job

[@TimBigBendFishing]

As always, top-notch content from LL. I love these lower budget videos! One of my favorite things is taking a backpack and one rod and fishing for ditch pickles. It's crazy to catch a 5lb LMB in a tiny little drainage river

[@bojohnson6620]

lower budget? Spending $500 on swimbaits...

[@TimBigBendFishing]

@@bojohnson6620 Bank fishing is lower budget than fishing on a 60 thousand dollar poling skiff yes…

[@milehigherik]

@@TimBigBendFishingtrue story Tim.

[@Jack-q6n1s]

This video is just fantastic start to finish.

[@shinuizabusa2180]

I love your projects. Like the quest for a sub with lures years ago or this one. Much love from austria buddy and first 48´´ Pike have been caught wearing the lost sun shirt 😎💪

[@nextgenclassiccarsofIL]

anytime im out fishing the goal is to 1) catch fish and 2) leave it cleaner than it was when I got there

[@UFO_Nick]

Dope to see you catch a big snook behind my house

[@FlWeekendAngler]

Great video brother ! Gives me survival man show vibes getting those shots while fishing alone

[@SwolisticTy]

1st time here, this is an absolute fishing cinematic masterpiece brother🙌

[@Lampman12343]

Great video! 🎣 Loved how you explained the techniques and bait choices so clearly. The catch footage was exciting, and your tips on responsible fishing were spot-on. Awesome content-can’t wait for more of your adventures! BTW, the accuracy on dropping that $79 glide bait was legit.

[@lifeisfuneh]

This feels a lot like Musky fishing! :) Awesome video! Thanks!

[@ranierrentas4818]

Great Hustle!!! Next challenge should the same, but with just XL Fly!!

[@AtypicalOutdoors]

Such an amazing video! It’s something about the Gantarel……It has always caught them! Only downside is the hooks bend out easy on them!

[@phlabbs]

Story telling on point.

[@12ozElephant]

So awesome seeing Lawson catch a nice fish at one my favorite spots growing up

[@finnafishfl]

nice pfp

[@quintinmckinnon2751]

Absolutely love your videos man. Been a subscriber since you only had 20 K. Hope you and the family are doing well and hope you go back to putting out more videos. Keep up the good work brother and props to you for picking up other people’s junk.

[@girthmitegavin]

Good times at all those waterfalls great video 👍

[@colintillman425]

Was just rewatching old videos wondering when you a new vid! Love it man

[@MrYuske1985]

Thanks for content was fun to watch.. keep it up.. dont lose those expensive lures

[@BigBass-xf5yi]

Nice snook bro. I really miss living in south Florida. Hopefully someday,again.

[@anthonypacion-chanthabouas8186]

My favorite fishing youtuber posts again !! 🙏

[@DannyBFishing]

Way to grind it out man! Caught some beautiful fish and got some great footage!

[@stonetopssouthwest1198]

It's been a while since I've watched one of your vids, loved the style of this one dude. Great production and felt involved all the way through. Nice work! 🙌

[@kenny.g727]

Thanks for cleaning up the shoreline of potential hazards to wildlife . That alone earned my follow bud 🤟

[@SmokyMountainFisherman]

Born and raised in Brevard County, now live in the smokies, just found you man awesome videos! Insane editing

[@SALTYPUREBLOOD-31]

321! Grant -Valkaria! 🤙🤙🤙

[@Zyl0n_yt]

production on this video is next level bro keep it up this is awsome bring more of this

[@bcm1892]

Watched this last night. Very cool video, nice fish at the end.

[@jackchn23]

It’s like you were on a fish safari!

[@anthonyspera6377]

It's nice to see a video that isn't trying to sell you a product that "catches everything". It's sweet to see the multiple swim baits used and realistic fishing footage that any land based fisherman can encounter in FL. Looking forward to more footage!

[@investerchris1441]

Well made video. Very entertaining.

[@yeahbuddy8D]

Haven’t even made it past the ads yet and I already know THIS IS SOME GOOD CONTENT BROTHER 🎣 🎣

[@GoldGauntletComix]

Great video my friend. I went on a quest like this up north to try to catch a northern pike or a muskie before I left well I finally caught a 26-in Pike. I had fished a point on a beach for over 4 hours. I know a lot of people would stay 26 in is small but to me it was cool. I just wanted to catch one. The fun of fishing

[@ArcherFish]

Like Jeremy Wade...waiting for the last minute. Amazing how often it works out like that. good stuff.

[@ericthered976]

Subbed because you cleaned up after those scumbags. Good on you sir!

[@impat5357]

Such a sick video, gotta get you up north for some muskie if you like this!

[@REightch]

Now this looks fun!

[@trent_pearson]

Nice video with some exquisite b roll

[@gamemeister27]

Man, I know if I was throwing 9" swim baits in the lake, I'd manage to catch a few 10" largemouths 😅

[@MrVanTeacher]

good stuff, bro....next level.

[@ScottishLureFishing2024]

well done mate it pays off in the end i no how it feels bro great content

[@colegerber5532]

Honestly great video great quality 10/10

[@tonyrubaszewski6811]

Sweet... I liked to know your set up you used and the boots you had on.. I do lot of bass fishing on the bank. Like to have a good pair of shoes... Plus I'm in Port St Luice Florida, there are a lot of spill ways here.. love to fish them. Thanks great video

[@SchmittyonDrums]

You da man for sticking to your method! I've beat myself up so bad and several times had to come back on the next year's family vacation to settle a score. Live Pine Point Charlotte Harbor gives me a facial tick...Great video Lindsey!

[@alexandreespindulaferreira3298]

Snook is the best 👏🏽👏🏽

[@DrGargani]

twisted ankle city going over those rocks at the end!! lol....

[@FLFlatsmaster]

Definitely bring along a dropnet when fishing catwalks like that. Helps a bunch

[@aarongreen9013]

I respect the grind my dude 💪🏽

[@chadwoodward2402]

The gantarels have terrible hooks. I blew then out on a 5lb+ large mouth. They went into the trash that night. I broke one of the hooks on a river 2 sea 200 S-waver. After those two incidents, I no longer run any factory hooks. They to get changed to gamakatsu or Owner.

[@DavidRoyal-y9o]

I love throwing monster baits. Im a trophy hunter. And its totally worth it. And it doesent kill ur smaller fish bites as much as people think. But it does get the monsters attention

[@milobellizio]

Such great video. Thank you!

[@davidcloyd1296]

Enjoying, thanks!

[@joeg.1087]

Lawson never misses

[@nunearteaga53]

Nice work bro 🎉

[@tntcreeperkk]

Nothing better than Lawson uploading 🤘

[@outcastfisherman]

19:29 what an awesome shot

[@cigarrett]

Incredible video. Bravo

[@benfieldhicks7064]

ANOTHA ONE! Law-Dog with that GRADE A FLORIDA GASSSSSSSSS.

[@tristenjones1185]

Sweeeeeeeet, love when I see a new lawson video

[@FLFlatsmaster]

Hey is that the FishLab Bio-Rat? We met briefly at ICast at the FishLab booth and were talking about that lure. Great video man 🤙🏼

[@LawsonLindseyFishing]

Indeed it was!

[@mochi_pochi_]

On the gantrell!

[@neilmac1023]

Brother I feel ya about the fishing line, I am constantly picking it up. We had to capture a Canadian goose fledgling that had line wrapped around its leg so tight that it lost its leg

[@trkfishing]

Lawson only makes bangers

[@Cubuffssportsfanacount]

Hey Trk love your videos bro.

[@SleepyJoesDiaper]

Calcutta will always be one of the best reels. Doesn’t matter how old it is, parts are available.

[@saltlife316]

its not easy be successful when looking for quality fish, i love seeing the TRUE grind for a big one, perseverance and not giving up but thats what makes the fish worth it when you land it...... all the BS it took to get he that point

[@auto_5]

5:41 look at my mullet 😂 I just noticed that I have the same exact truck as you. Rock solid motor, tranny and frame but it is a very inefficient slug! Another plus, however is that they hold their resale value extremely well.

[@1of1CustomCards]

This is why they call it fishing and not catching! Even the goat can't catch em all the time!!

[@ericwakeman6665]

Nice work man gorgeous fish! Grind worth it?? Great work keeping priorities straight man keep at it!

[@brunobro6572]

this dudes majestic

[@adayinthesticks]

Lawdawwgggggg back in action

[@imRoKuu]

love waiting 30 mins to see a pretty average snook lmao

[@masonwaters3116]

That canal is right by my house! I’ve scouted it a few times but need to fish it now! Let’s get a session in!

[@bojohnson6620]

You're the man Lawson but spending that kind of money on swim baits is diabolical hahaha

[@AndreasChristouSaltwater]

Great vid as always bro!

[@JoeyBagOfDonuts-r1y]

You’re like Kwai Chang Caine from Kung Fu 🍚

[@justinbloomberg6941]

That spot around 7:50 … good luck with that snook. Iv caught him one time and seen him every single time iv gone. Very picky. Also caught tarpon way back in there.

[@RonaldSteward-tm1dc]

Awesome fish

You deserve so much more❤
