I’m noticing that what attracts me to a fishing channel is the enthusiasm and appreciation for every fish. I can’t stand seeing other KZbinr get jaded to something so precious to me

[@ADVENTURESOFBZ]

Fantastic comment!!! Couldn't agree more. I can't stand it when people just chuck a "dink" back in the water not carefully. I hate it

[@ADVENTURESOFBZ]

@ItsFlanaman yep another spot on comment 🤘🤘👊👊

[@eherogaia8545]

Bro they wine about all kinds of things sometimes, makes me wonder why they even fish at all?, for money? Wow then it’s a job for you not a passion anymore, I get giddy regardless of size or species because the way my rod dances in my hand puts a smile on my face….like the kid I once was….😂❤

[@CarolinaReaperr]

I completely agree I don’t understand how people can say they’re a this fisherman or that fisherman. They’re all a unique challenge to put it in a modern term every fish is it’s own side quest to put it in a term from my generation. Gotta Catch 'Em All POKÉMON 😂😂 I will get just as much joy out of catching a huge bass as I will huge crappie or a huge shellcracker or a huge bluegill or a huge creek chub or a huge green sunfish as long as it’s a relatively large for the species that it is, I’m very happy and when I catch a native species oh, it’s the best lol and in all honestly at this current moment, native bass species are in more danger than native trout and in most places are harder to catch than that 10 pound Florida bass that’s hanging out in your lake lol

[@anadamantoutdoorsman]

exactly man. I see too many fisherman that only want to catch bass. if its not a bass/not a big bass, the fish isnt handled well. another issue I always have is bass fisherman going to trout lakes that are overrun with smallmouth. most of those lakes have a mandatory kill rule on all bass. I then see them catch a smallmouth and go "what a stupid rule" and throw the bass back. every fish matters, certain fish should be in certain waters. others should not.

[@Njh-os1ju]

Do this vid again but big baits in salt and little baits in fresh, great vid tho glad your back posting vids again keep it up 🔥

[@supertoastboi3231]

That's just called fishing 🎣

[@ADVENTURESOFBZ]

Dude the switch back and forth from big baits to small baits is a badass concept!!! Really really enjoyed this video man. I love em all but every now and then you crush one. That would be this video. Awesome!!

[@Luthjo]

Fun to see this edit dip back and forth between salt and fresh - keep the content coming, Law dawg!

[@patcurcio1379]

As someone commented, it’s the enthusiasm you have that makes every one of your videos so enjoyable to watch. I check weekly, hoping to see another Lawson video.

[@billmichlig55]

Lawson is BACK! Love the content!

[@michaelthompson2782]

Lawson I’ve been tuning in for at least 7 years. I’ve loved to watch the progression of you as an angler and a young man. I’m a huge fan.

[@codyriver7730]

The “jump off “ comment to the lady fish at the boat is so relatable lol even giving them a few chances to throw the hook.

[@clintonbruning]

All I throw is finesse gear in freshwater in TX and like you said never knowing what you’re going to catch is probably the best part. I target big bass, but I’ve had a day where I caught 9 different species in a lake. Im one of the guys who has to be catching to be having fun so the big bait deal is rough for me. But like you said they both have their place and can be a good time 🤙🏽. Cool vid man.

[@Swednerr]

2:45 "not a giant" Proceeds to 3x my pb

[@keylay9453]

I have been saying for years that the smaller baits are just as much fun. It's all about how you use them. Now only if i could finally convince my wife that a smaller bait is just as good

[@LynxAngler]

Incredible video. You continually set the bar for fishing KZbin.

[@chadfisher6871]

Really enjoyed the originality of this. And I think you’re right about both types of fishing are fun. Thanks Lawson!

[@rodneyleblanc2648]

Great job !!! I’d recommend you do this again, but throw both baits alternately in salt and both in fresh water. Id like to see the difference. As an experiment, comparing small bait in salt and big in fresh doesn’t stand up to scrutiny, but this is still a fascinating video. But I really enjoy your enthusiasm. Thanks for taking the time to film, edit, share this.

[@elcoach8931]

Done years of targetting just the bigh fish and now I am back to finesse on ultra light tackle as its the essence of fishing, throwing drilling and catching without complexity and just having fun. Like your post and the comparison and do propose to create a simular experience but then with the small saltwater baits like the shrimp for lake bass fishing and the gliders for the inshore species.

[@they.luv_rileyy]

💗 amazing video uncle Lawson!!💗

[@GhostFishSlayer]

I agree that catching fishing, no matter the size, is fun. Catching a lunker feels like an accomplishment.

[@hypraktiv]

I think what you do from a content perspective is really one of a kind, this is a really quality idea executed well. I hope you are proud the work you do here its definitely something special.

[@FrznFury27]

I fish off deep saltwater piers, so as much as I like to throw smaller finesse lures, I'm fighting strong currents for 80-100ft on my way to the bottom

[@SharkForge29]

I've been thoroughly enjoying your videos man! I'm learning so much from you. I moved down here a year ago to SWFL and had the chance to do my first saltwater fishing. I became hooked! I have a TON to learn... It's almost a bit overwhelming but I hope to find someone like you someday that can take me under their wing and show me the ropes!

[@alanalonso1920]

I like tying those little finesse lure to my sons rod so he can catch any fish and have fun while I’m on the hunt for the biggens

[@magpieoutdooradventures4518]

Love that you are spending more time showing off each fish again. Old school Lawson. ❤

[@williamgreenhalgh185]

Third video in a month span but still not enough. Need more high quality content like this. Maybe it’s Patreon time 💰👀

[@TheFishingMommy]

He has a Patreon!

[@Zvenson]

I love the way you fish and the way you cut your great videos too 😍 best fishing channel on KZbin! Keep going.

[@stevechavez933]

This guy never misses I swear

[@potatoe1bread358]

I do alot of walleye and white bass fishing in the spring summer fall and even winter weather permitting. I've found the best size of baits are whatever the fish are feeding on at that time. size almost carries more of an importance then color with white bass

[@devinvegafishing1185]

Been a fan for a long time man and I love to see you freshwater fishing, especially on the big baits!! 🤘

[@user-gu3wx7fe9c]

Wow! This was a lot of work and so much fun to watch! Love love love the enthusiasm! Congrats!

[@chrisgarcia5462]

The Jackall DOWZSWIMMER 180SF, Megabass 6in freestyle, Shimano flash boost & of late the Raid Osakana 170 have been on fire for me at night fishing for Monster Snook.

[@LandskiffOutdoors]

I enjoy your editing so much dude. Been stoked seeing you post a little more lately, the dawg is iiiiiiiin

[@wassbot]

love this style of content, so great to see you back and enjoying life :)

[@anglermattoutdoors]

Ive been thinking about getting a Fitzgerald rod and now I see this. The Lord works in mysterious ways 😅

[@lotuscampbell8660]

been watching for years. love learning from you and definitely going to have to try to pull off a salt then fresh day

[@robertborder4392]

Good to have you back. Great concept, and a very good video.

[@John_Smith_727]

Next Video Idea: Castnet mullet, search for big Snook or Jacks. A throwback to your older stuff.

[@michaelstephens3509]

Next video switch it up! Micro baits in freshwater and big baits in the salt. See if the trend continues over consistent numbers vs consistent size

[@alessandrorovelli7058]

Bravo!!! Big vs small baits... 50%/50%

[@olanderdecastro52]

My heart and stomach sank when you released that pompano!

[@manojimenez7169]

Great video law Dawg ! Great idea with the concept ! Keep them coming !!

[@scottleggejr]

props to throwing a baitcaster on the east coast bro!

[@ADVENTURESOFBZ]

Bro ive been trying to catch a 5 pounder or better for years now. Pretty much all my life. 4.78 pounds is my biggest bass. I need to throw big baits only from now on. I usually throw lures where i can catch the most quantity but gotta switch to bigguns.

[@TheBeefSlayer]

It’s all about where you fish man. Farm ponds, golf courses at night, and private lakes are a great place to catch 5lb plus bass.

[@ADVENTURESOFBZ]

@@TheBeefSlayer no doubt and I need to branch out more. I've got a lot of trips planned this summer. It'll happen

[@CJX_Fishing]

Time and place my man. Keep at it. I'm up in WI and when I was younger I thought the 5lb+ fish didn't exist up here. As I got older and more exposed, I've got tons of 5's caught so far. They're there man. My pb came off a jig at 5.96, just nearly a 6. Grind it out and have fun!

[@MrVanTeacher]

good stuff... a storyline....good editing👍👍

[@JameslFishing]

Lawson back with another banger🔥🔥

[@stefanofigari9280]

Bring the old style videos from 2020, top water for snook and some live mullet for giant jacks around docks

[@AndreasChristouSaltwater]

Great job as always brother! Sorry about your glide bait that disappeared man that’s always a bummer

[@skidmarkzuckerberg]

3-4in swim bait in saltwater will catch anything. I’ve caught 80# Tarpon on little size 2 flies. Elephants eat peanuts.

[@Jon-fh6nf]

All I heard in this video was that was like a $100 glide bait. I will stick with my little bass. I can’t justify spending that much money on a single bait

[@Westin_J27]

You should definitely do this again in reverse with small baits in freshwater and big in salt. There are alot of species to catch on finesse gear

[@horatio1444]

I wath lawson lindsey videos for the plot... I swear!

[@bradlarson9407]

That was just fun to watch!!!

[@andrefloresca1324]

Honestly man, with swimbaiting. It can be something that isn't even in the water you're fishing and it'll get bit

[@kelvinvega261]

Sick video bro!!💪🏽STAY BEASTLY!

[@stinkyfungus]

I love fishing inshore on light tackle. 7' light action, 3000 series reel spooled up with 8# braid. Small lures. Sure, you do catch alot of small fish... but every once in a while, you tie into something that takes you hell bent for the horizon. Elephants DO eat peanuts occasionally. And if you want to meet a "giant ladyfish" the ones in hawaii Elops Hawaiineis (we call it Awa'aua or Tenpounder) get up well over 10 pounds... on MY rig? A big one will smoke a spinning reel drag hot enough to burn your fingers if you try to thumb it down. Poor man's tarpon indeed. We also get monster bonefish here, and they strike jigs and small jerkbaits. They can get huge... and when on the reef, aren't as finicky as thier atlantic cousins. (On flats they can be though)

[@yungtree1082]

i have one of them gantarel jrs guess i dont throw it enough :>

[@oldskoolchevelle]

I’ve never seen a largemouth so dark before as that first one.

[@espio23ify]

Skipped science class - control them variables

[@josetomasmoreano8311]

Love your vids dog!! Their amazing, best fishing channel. Can you do a video about the gear that u use?

[@jakewohltman8195]

with the glides don't set the hook overly hard like a normal bait hate too see them expensive things gone i feel your pain bro

[@TeamPerry5]

Day 2 of asking for a brothers bass fishing/pond stocking video

[@they.luv_rileyy]

yesssss

[@TheManofmisc]

when you lost the fish I could only think "My LAWD its a SNAPPIN TURDLE!"

[@floridacajun]

🤌⚜️💯🎣 Another great video bud.

[@zacharymadrigal1988]

Do some fly rod content please

[@johnrickards1908]

Please, sombody tell me what the background track was while he was fishing the big shiner swim bait. 11 to 13 minutes in. Thanks

[@johnrickards1908]

Found it! Tiger blood jewel 'The Bayou'.

[@Moffit366]

Like the format!

[@joefishstone8132]

Great video man🙌🏻

[@brycecallan3961]

When you lost the swim bait, I think it’s a decent chance your line broke at the knot. It’s happened to me before throwing big glides all the tension put on the knot during cast it can break very clean at the knot during your retrieve and feel exactly how you described it.

[@AndreasJKC]

That, paired with the waaaay overkill hookset

[@JerryBrown-ou4ff]

Here ya go

[@stevehogan8829]

Great videio, Thanks,

[@zacharyduncan6118]

Not sure what point you proved. You’d have to do both sizes in both types of water to actually show any effect comparison.

[@gamemeister27]

And you'd have to do it like, every day for a whole season while meticulously recording your results and conditions in addition to your subjective experience. I think a lot of fishing superstition is based on the inherent low sample size of the activity.

[@prafix4824]

Hi nice video love to see it! But i have a question what rod and reel did u use for saltwater fishing?

[@rodconner9079]

And just like that -- many species!!! It happens for real : ) Be Safe

[@TheBeefSlayer]

100$ glide bait and you set the hook and lost it. That answers my question right there which is more enjoyable to fish with.

[@jakeneubauer313]

great video bro!

[@highonpotnus7890]

what brand the shades?

Oakley Clifden 🤙🏻🕶️

[@IsaacSilver-z8l]

Is this in salt or fresh water

[@tourgod77]

Hey Lawson, long time subscriber and watcher to all your content from Australia. first time commenting. Any chance you could list the gear you used in this vid? Your heavy gear looks like it may be nice to try on murray cod. Cheers mate.

[@gabehunt2000]

Would love to know what glasses those are, looks like what I been looking for

[@jimmy2skipps]

Oakley Clifden 🤙🏻 thank later lol

[@NighttimeAquatics]

i came to the comments cause i saw it!

[@W0rstplayerNA]

Love the video!

[@crb870]

Anyone know the name of the shirt and pants he is wearing? In the market for some new fishing clothes.

[@tboneking5]

Hi

[@Capoxg]

Thinking it was prob a gar have had it happen to me

[@AndreasJKC]

The content and quality is top notch, no doubt I just don't understand why so many American anglers set their hooks with such violence... If your hooks are sharp, no fish needs more than a little jerk.. And also, flipping the fish into the boat like that is damaging to the rod, and imo a bit disrespectful to the fish.. At least net the guy? Not trying to be a jerk, I just don't get it... Other than those things, video is great😊

[@dannyd-rockmahaffey3087]

MY DAWG!!!!! great video!!

[@jackchn23]

Surf session please!

[@taylorharris305]

another great video!

[@tristenjones1185]

Love the content bro

[@saleen12]

I'd rather catch any pelagic saltwater fish than a big bass any day

[@Xarith93]

bro set the hook on a log and tried to blame it on a bowfin lol

[@nicholastanzola488]

Hey what pants are those they look nice

[@kylebeville9685]

So you caught more fish in one day than I have this year.

[@jpuck6190]

Might be an odd question but what brand was that hooded shirt you were wearing?

[@jimmy2skipps]

Anetik their ultra guide hoodie 🤙🏻

[@torreychristian544]

You need to clean those reels bad buddy. They crying for help.

[@wills2397]

WHAT IS UP MAH DAWWWWWWWGS!

[@joeangiello9784]

Snapping turtle ate your glide maybe? Or is that dumb? lol I did notice a turtle chasing a lure of mine this week

[@refl3xun_named684]

Realized that big bait doesn't always mean big fish it just means a fish with big old mouth .

[@windsormohler5031]

Medium baits?? 😂
