Thanks for supplying the most epic top water eats on the internet for years Lawson. That snook sounded like if you shot a 12 gauge into the water and just couldn't hear the sound of the shot.

I've had other BPM baits kzbin.infoUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 before and they've pretty much always came through for me with the suskie smallies here and even with the walleye and pike, but I realized I didn't have an "in-between" pattern so this junebug one fills that role in no problem. it pairs up magnificently with a junebug Zoom Z-craw Jr that was trimmed a couple millimeters before the hook slots and rigged sideways for that fatter panfish side profile while still being a nice'n'compact presentation, a real power-finesse bait. Hell, it was so pretty I even bothered to fotosketch the pic into a watercolor painting image just to show you it's beauty! Even the blades are really well made, sure, they're not of Hildebrandt-level exquisiteness but look at the bead's reflection on the colorado blade, definitely well-made! The only "problem" spot it had was a bald spot in the skirt but it was nothing that I couldn't easily fix with a but of tuggin'n'shiftin' with the strands for a couple of seconds, besides that it is pretty minty!

That snook was Working that reel it was making some gnarly sounds on that drag!!! Years ago I caught a Big Cuda offshore on a tube lure using a Old School Diawa Millionaire and the Cuda smoked my reel !!! The gears inside were shot after battling the Cuda !!!

The mangrove islands are home to a metric bazillion rats in Florida. We used to camp on the islands in Sarasota Bay and we always took BB guns for the rats. At night make lots of noise. There are also rattlesnakes around those islands that eat the rats. I've seen rattlers swimming between the islands. Rat lures actually make sense with so many rats around. I bet a real live one would get eaten quickly.

[@BobelPop]

Just make sure to swap the hooks & you're good to go!

[@DB-jh1kd]

Camera work is amazing. Lawson can cast like no other.

[@FishLabTackle]

Great job Lawson. The Bio-Rat baits are pretty awesome baits. Good to see you whacked snook on them.

[@EdgarGarcia-fx2wo]

This video is making me wanna skip the NBA finals tonight to try and catch some fish tonight. Love the content as always!

[@SMcNew2K]

Yes!!! I’ve been wondering if those would go.

[@cadenlloyd1661]

Dude I love these Saturday morning uploads!

[@williambenner701]

What a adventure that was! Finally pays off with a large snook! Using a snake topwater in the Mangrove forrest would be a interesting experiment as well.

[@phillipshoes]

Perseverance! Great Job! Yes, you're right about getting them off structure quickly, I lost 4 monsters on the bridge pylons this morning, with a 4000 Shimano and 4000 BG. I'm going up to a 6000 now for those big guys under the bridge.

[@stripermanly]

Been painting rat baits for a couple years now. The blanks I have are as you stated, a jointed bait. Great munch by the snook

[@drdillweeed]

This man could cast a banana peel and catch a slot snook..

[@Yeetmaster900]

Probably.. They're mainly reacting to the action

[@Rainersherwood]

Are you having trouble finding snook?

[@frostizz2072]

@@RainersherwoodI can’t find them

[@justinjade19]

Banana peel shit you mean toe nail lol

[@russellkasprzyk4934]

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!

[@bayouburner281]

Thanks for taking us back in the mangroves-I always look forward to your content🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@3xoticsgames816]

I did not expect to find Lawson golfing ⛳️ today..I hope to see you out there golfing again… maybe we can golf sometimes..keep up the fishing videos🎣

[@shinuizabusa2180]

Love the mangrove vids. So much wildlife 🤩👍

[@stevelawton9849]

Yes yes yes!!!! Lawson your excitement catching the fish gets me so HYPE to watch!!!! Every video!!

[@davidortega1365]

That was the coolest most bonkers thing ive seen in a while!! On a rat!! Freaking nuts!!! Thanks bro!!!

[@danielf9052]

Great episode. This was like an old Lawson video.

[@davidvarney6437]

Way to stay the course. You guys rocked it with that rat!

[@kevinstogner9477]

Hope mom and the kid are doing well. You guys will be making tons of memories on the water.

[@LFTLivefortoday]

These are the videos we love!

[@AndyBallona]

Great video. Very creative and fun concept

[@DaveysWorldFishing]

Very cool Lawson! Those Bio-Rats are pretty awesome. And the Komodo SS is unbeatable.

[@RedOrtegaFishing]

Morning Greatness‼️

[@redfishroger1982]

Your new video team is working. Great videos.

[@AndrewDoesLife]

Saturday morning Lawson!!! 🔥

[@Jhboy2011]

So sick man! Great vid!

[@onetimesportfishing3023]

Outstanding! Love the videos!

[@MRMIKE276]

This one is going viral!

[@billytripp4849]

Awesome Snook! Great video content.

[@kweeks10045]

I've done that same thing. Don't laugh at the rat wakebait. Redfish and snook love them. Not to mention largemouth bass and I've even had a striper eat it.

[@danpayne2609]

I didn't realize...okay I'm gonna try it. Awesome video btw

[@gabe.ch5555]

Really good rat bait even with 3!!! Replacement tails in case the original becomes old and brittle. I'm sure that many older semesters like me look a little jealous at this bait.....😉😉😏😏

[@phillamoore157]

I racked up several of those rat lurers, working at Bass Pro, and they've caught me the biggest bass I've ever caught. Bass just ANNIHILATED them, to the point of tearing them up. For what it's worth I was walking it. I don't recall what brand though. Very fun bait under the right circumstances.

[@makoman88]

Awsome as always! Ive watched every single video of yours for like the past 3 years. One lure I dont think you have tried is one of those topwater bird lures where the wings kinda walk it, not sure the exact name of it.

[@matthewhallman4358]

Crawler

[@Simbad007]

All I can do is watch this man catch giants because I can’t ☠️

[@christianguzman7411]

Maybe a video on rod and reel arsenal of 23 and how the boat has worked pros and cons

[@TheHuntForBronze]

Part 2 needed! The hype at the end is real!.

[@detexoutdoors2509]

Lawson, I make hand carved wooden swimbaits, my specialty is rat wakebaits, but I also make glides and crankowns. I would LOVE to make you a custom bait or two.

[@justinmcalister7237]

Do you have a website to checkout your stuff? Is your joint, hardware etc strong enough for saltwater fish? Esp tarpon. Very strong fish

[@auggyboy284]

If you use freshwater lures in saltwater, always change out your hooks for stronger ones🙏🏼

[@todayanthenext7470]

Possibly the girthiest snook I’ve ever seen you catch on KZbin. That snook eats GOOD and doesn’t move much 😂

[@roccocorvo6625]

You gotta get those trolling motor cords sorted 😂

[@roccocorvo6625]

Stresses me out just lookin at it

[@PeartEnvy2112]

Very impressive!!

[@psimmy73]

The shoulders on that fish

[@WAEofFishing]

I've been trying to throw large baits, failing... but trying. I wonder how 8" glide baits would work for you. Change the hooks of course😅

[@fuhumez7118]

What a fish brother!!

[@Rainersherwood]

Hahaha I did a similar thing this morning…. Got three slot snook in a 30 minute window around first light. First one was too easy, first cast landed a 31” on my go to weedless paddle tail setup. Then retied a 8” NLBN mullet. Instantly destroyed. Slightly bigger fish. Still too easy. Switched to a massive offshore/tuna swim bait that looks nothing like anything they eat and they still wanted it. I guess I need to keep trying stupider and stupider lures just for the LOLz.

[@dedijuhali_mancing]

Amazing my bro

[@blackbirdfpv1981]

Lawson so when we get anything new at work I always try them and everyone thinks I'm crazy but I got slammed with them also. Just like when the f13 fishing baits came out I was trying them a good couple weeks before I ever seen anyone do a video on them. I'll let you know soon as we get new stuff so u can look for them. I also have stuff we get that we have not put out at times and hold for weeks if not month

[@fishingmilesaway]

Such a cool video. Impressive Snook. Do you think the fish can tell its a rat or do you think they just like the action of the lure?

[@clifcoleman3675]

since the rat slayed them please give the spider a try next 🙏🙏

[@jonmcdowell6437]

Savage gear (eu market) has a sandeel jig that uses the toothpick method. Looks really effective

[@Cjdklh]

Best in the biz!

[@ryanwhittaker7784]

I bet those spiders would get crushed deep in that river

[@FloridaBoyGrizz]

Why do all of Lawsons reels sound like there broken 😂. Nice video tho brother I remember you did a video like this with the other rat bait either it was the savage gear, or the bb1 rat bait

[@robertzylstra6676]

So sick!,,

[@JBfishing619]

Epic af

[@ncbasspaddler8897]

Keep making videos of fishing saltwater with bass Lures. Curious if you can catch one on a whacky rigged sinko?

[@TheFishingMommy]

Yes. I live in NY & mostly bass fish but I’m originally from FL & fish there as often as I can for reds, trout & flounder. I’ve caught reds and flounder as well as snapper on wacky rigs!

[@iChinQ]

And here I am using live mullets and getting skunked

[@bighilltom]

ok…..i am impressed

[@user-gu3wx7fe9c]

Eeeeepic!

[@mgsfishing]

THIS GUY!

[@TMORENO713]

Grinddddin...

[@davidrisenhoover1693]

That bass reel sounds like a bass reel

[@noahocampo8863]

Oh shit, it’s a rat

[@secnds8n]

use the bbz swim bait now the hooks are way more thick and will hold bigger fish. they sell those at dicks also same basket usually. that was crazy, nice fish that little bass reel got smoked lol.

[@Swoxyyyy]

Yeaghhhhh budddyyyyyy

[@MrBrizzled]

I was so proud of you for not making a rat pun, but then in the last second it happened xD Good shit guys!

[@Yeetmaster900]

Chatterbait big blade orange blade with chartreuse/white/orange skirt and head and whatever trailer you deem appropriate.

[@yungtree1082]

La rata !

[@WillWallace2]

Dude, how do you like your Garmin trolling motor ?

[@Snookwisperer]

Come on!

[@brianscott217]

Just keep reeling them plopper baits instead of jerking it you will have better luck

[@cjwhite82]

Yooo...try out the Banjo Minnow.

[@wills2397]

WHAT IS UP MAH DAWWWWWGS !

[@inandout-on2ym]

Most slept on Floridian KZbin Angler

[@skipyost177]

Buy 5 pink lures and only use them for 2 days and see what you catch!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@dannyd-rockmahaffey3087]

My dawg!!!!

[@colindavidson6483]

Let’s see snook on a chatterbait

[@Fl0ridam4n]

Dude said rat so many times I had to talk shit

[@marcusallen8988]

Catch a snook on a fork next

[@parkmowell2610]

based upon my years of fishing, I'm not sure the fish specifically identify the artifical as a "rat". more likely it's simply movement they react to.

[@ryanpopovici2760]

“40”

[@Inshorethingfishing]

5:20 seconds for the ppl not interested in straight bs

[@blackbirdfpv1981]

Love those bites

[@TeamPerry5]

You are so handsome! 💥

[@PatrickInCayman]

Where is this river?

[@landdevelopmentreality6838]

Well, time to stock up on plastic rodents!

[@zsdfafasdasdada1368]

u still go paddleboard fishing after seeing yaks getting attacked by sharks

[@Yeetmaster900]

I need you to catch a snook and a tarpon on the googan revolver. Video felt like it ended too soon.. ol jack gassed ya lol

[@ultimatejay]

worse drag on a reel I've ever heard. Get yourself a nice Shimano tranx or Daiwa lexa
