I Fished Florida Spillways for a Week With Only Giant Swimbaits

I spent the entire week fishing some of the spillways i know scattered around south florida. I decided to tackle this mission only throwing big swimbaits and glidebaits.

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

[@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....

[@kriskeene3910]

Lawson, you’re a true Florida outdoorsman. Respect

[@omalysiragusa9747]

Your last comment about being die hard but making it fit into your life resonates deeply with me! I live fishing and will always try my best to make time for it but we also enjoy our families and that deep you’ve got a subscriber here my friend

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@cedomirvlajic8909]

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

[@marshallguerra1353]

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

[@bobbyswain7049]

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

[@FishingBiodiversity]

That is a goood challenge! Cheers from Italy!

[@jamesmcdermott6934]

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

[@Jack-q6n1s]

This video is just fantastic start to finish.

[@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.

[@ArcherFish]

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

[@lifeisfuneh]

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

[@LampmanEditz12343]

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.

[@bassassassinnn7459]

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

[@Anglerissues]

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

[@anthonypacion-chanthabouas8186]

My favorite fishing youtuber posts again !! 🙏

[@StevieBarracuda]

Great video big ups 🎉

[@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 😎💪

[@kenny.g727]

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

[@drakewelch3385]

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

[@BBB_025]

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

[@caughtupfishing1928]

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

[@girthmitegavin]

Good times at all those waterfalls great video 👍

[@phlabbs]

Story telling on point.

[@bcm1892]

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

[@SwolisticTy]

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

[@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.

[@benfieldhicks7064]

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

[@colintillman425]

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

[@Zyl0n_yt]

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

[@12ozElephant]

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

[@finnafishfl]

nice pfp

[@UFO_Nick]

Dope to see you catch a big snook behind my house

[@anglinganthony]

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!

[@REightch]

Now this looks fun!

[@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! 🙌

[@tristenjones1185]

Sweeeeeeeet, love when I see a new lawson video

[@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!

[@Joseph-ux8xg]

Dying laughing at 9:27 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 You handled that best as possible 😅

[@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!

[@FlWeekendAngler]

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

[@colegerber5532]

Honestly great video great quality 10/10

[@gamemeister27]

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

[@SmokyMountainFisherman]

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

[@SALTYPUREBLOOD-31]

Lawdawwgggggg back in action

[@trkfishing]

Lawson only makes bangers

[@Cubuffssportsfanacount]

Hey Trk love your videos bro.

[@DannyBFishing]

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

[@MrYuske1985]

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

[@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

[@jackchn23]

It’s like you were on a fish safari!

[@nextgenclassiccarsofIL]

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

[@investerchris1441]

Well made video. Very entertaining.

[@DrGargani]

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

[@MrVanTeacher]

good stuff, bro....next level.

[@ScottishLureFishing2024]

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

[@20TTVV]

You deserve so much more❤

[@ajfishingOHIO]

I respect the grind my dude 💪🏽

[@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

[@FLFlatsmaster]

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

[@ericthered976]

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

[@joeg.1087]

Lawson never misses

[@yeahbuddy8D]

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

[@outcastfisherman]

19:29 what an awesome shot

[@davidcloyd1296]

Enjoying, thanks!

[@ranierrentas4818]

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

[@GingerAvenger904]

Omg yes! He’s back!

[@tntcreeperkk]

Nothing better than Lawson uploading 🤘

[@ParanoiaAE]

The Goat uploaded!

[@AndreasChristouSaltwater]

Great vid as always bro!

[@cigarrett]

Incredible video. Bravo

[@trent_pearson]

Nice video with some exquisite b roll

[@nunearteaga53]

Nice work bro 🎉

[@milobellizio]

Such great video. Thank you!

[@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

[@impat5357]

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

[@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.

[@brunobro6572]

this dudes majestic

[@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

[@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!

[@f2dify]

Random dude from ga who found this video. Like your style immediate sub. Sad you have to clean up fishing line but sick video.

[@mochi_pochi_]

On the gantrell!

[@SleepyJoesDiaper]

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

[@nathansackett6890]

Im going through the same thing. I actually go at 5 am everyday specifically so i can be home when everyone's getting ready for the day and on work days i can fish from 5-730 then head to work. I don't fish the evening bite anymore, have to make compromises for the wife and kids. Also i was naturally a quitter in my youth, if something required a lot of patience or didn't come naturally to me i would just quit.... leaning into the struggle, frustration and really honing in on the patience and perseverance that fishing requires has been tremendously beneficial for me. Also gow do you have a bad day when you started it out watching the sunrise on a lake or river???? Stay tight my guy!!!!

[@anthonylalli8042]

Thank You !!

[@1of1CustomCards]

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

[@BigBass-xf5yi]

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

[@sharkeyryan]

Nice catch!!!

[@ericwakeman6665]

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

[@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

[@bojohnson6620]

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