Although I do Very much enjoy them myself, the dudes gotta life fella's! It's gotta be brutal for him. Think about that for a minute... but yeah, I enjoy them too.
I think a proper saltwater 6# would be legit Something with some backbone A decent sized rubber meshed net would make life super easy but I hardly ever see them used in the salt Good to see Lawson busting out the fly rod again.. it seems like a while since he last used one 👍 Nice video Lawson 🌞
Dude good stuff.. been wanting you to start doing some fly stuff again, you need to go blind cast some big baitfish flies around your snook and jack docks like the old days.
This is probably one of my favorite videos more recently. Bringing the fly rod back out was awesome to watch especially with the little tarpon. Keep it up bud🇺🇸🇺🇸
Love vids like this that shows how theirs sometimes that you won’t catch a lot of fish I’m tired of always seeing videos on RUclips how fisherman’s be slaying fish but in realty probably took them a whole month to make a video like that
I really enjoy watching the landbased fishing, and this time especially with the fly rod because it was different, it makes you explore new spots on foot, and it’s something most of us can relate to being bank fisherman.
I think juvenile tarpon has got to be the most under appreciated and unrecognized way of fishing...there should be a much bigger following for ju-V tarpon fishing.
@@FIsForFishing any time my friend. Are you going east coast or west coast? I live east coast central Florida. Sebastian inlet east cost central Florida has a huge fishing pier. You'll be elbow to elbow, but the fishing is off the charts! If you go down to Maimi, Hallover inlet is the place to be, but the water is RUFF!!! If you go west coast, Sarasota bay is slamming. And of course, don't forget, Florida has some of the best bass fishing in the country! Oh and St. Johns river has Tons of fish (east coast) including talipa but watch for gators in fresh water. Usually none in saltwater. Please hit me up with any questions. I'd like to help. :-)
@@scottmichael3745 Were staying on the east coast, in Hollywood. We go to the west coast a few times and the keys. Going to be checking out these spots and see if we can get hooked up!!
Pro tip- line should be under your index finger anytime the fly is in the water, makes a massive difference when stripping/setting the hook and fighting.
Fun video to watch. Enjoying the variety of vids you shoot. So much can happen when you're fly fishing... I suspect you will frequently be outgunned when you bring a #4 weight (trout) fly rod to these waters which hold some massive saltwater species. You'll end up handlining the majority of your hookups as the rod has nothing on bigger fish.Thanks for showing the kind of fly you were using. Do you tie the leader yourself or use bought ones? Which diameter / strength?
What pound tippet were you using? That's super impressive with a 4 wt. I've caught similar sized jack King salmon on my 9wt that still put up a good fight
I’ve sat at a spillway dropping every fly in the book on top of rolling tarpon, and not have a single bite for 10 hours. And some days every good cast gets rewarded. I feel your pain. “Tarpon being tarpon” 🤷🏼♂️
You folks in the U.S of A do the fly fishing kinda different to my folk, we just do a poop on the grass and wait with a net...patience is the key they can't resist the scent
tarpon are my Unicorn. I had one rip my reel to pieces. tore the bail off the reel handle broke off in my hand and i was like WTF?? I think my problem was I got daddies with mediocre tackle and bad locations. every tarpon I've hooked was over 40 50 inches. and the destroyed me every time. and those softshells are very stretchy snappy so be careful
I love fishing the other side of the dams after rains and slamming everything cause all the big fish pushed up here to eat... I got so many barn door snook reds cobia and a bull shark or 2 fishing a freshwater lake flow into tampa bay. there were so many shad getting slaughtered. you threw the net on the lake at the lowhead dam that flows into the bay and get a netful and they pigged out on the shad that were getting washed into brackish water. alligator lake in safety harbor florida.. youll get beasts there. truly a feeding frenzy. all the big local fish were in the piling slipstream just eating what they see coming by. I got a 35 inch redfish there that was released to the grill with cajun seasoning. one of my favorite next to snook for eating. this was 2006 before the red tide put a ban on the harvest of reds snook and everything else
Yo. Slow that cast down. Got to make love to that 4wt. She likes it nice and delicate. Keep that Flip Pallot tradition alive good sir. Thanks for the great video. Excellent sound and editing.
At least you only hooked a turtle. Last time I was fishing a spillway like that I hooked a 3 ft gator and fought him for over a half hour. Finally got him on the bank and got the hook out but that was an ordeal!!!😎👍👍
J yea it was! I had to turn into a gator wrangler for a minute there but finally got him turned over where I could grab his jaws closed long enough to get the hook out and let him go. Once you get their jaws closed and hold them they can't really hurt you anymore😎
I’ve been on a month long binge watching every video backwards I’m in 2 years........I’m annoying the hell out of my wife an coworkers but I just can’t seem to put it down
Last spillway I fished I thought I was snagged until my line turned and started taking off the other direction with my hoggie and there was no stopping it. Pretty sure it was a manatee! Lol
What ever happened to the lake behind your parent's place? You never post vids from there anymore. You had big plans for what was going to go in there I thought. Would be cool to see some Tarpon or other species in there.

I think we all want more fly fishing vids.
Confirmed. We all want more fly fishing videos.
Thirded.
Fourded
Lots more.
Yes
Lawson, you are the best RUclipsr ever can you do another 30 day challenge
agreed
YEAH
Although I do Very much enjoy them myself, the dudes gotta life fella's! It's gotta be brutal for him. Think about that for a minute... but yeah, I enjoy them too.
Agreed
I have to say man, you have some quality videos! 👍👍
Thanks for the fly content it’s a great change of pace. An 8 wt rod would be a solid investment for FL.
I was thinking that too
Agreed, 4 weight for tarpon seems a little bit... off
I think a proper saltwater 6# would be legit
Something with some backbone
A decent sized rubber meshed net would make life super easy but I hardly ever see them used in the salt
Good to see Lawson busting out the fly rod again.. it seems like a while since he last used one
👍
Nice video Lawson 🌞
@@addisoncross8211 I caught a 29in snook on an ultra light. It’s so much fun having to finesse them!!
Lawson love your vids. I loved a few years ago when you would slam huge jacks with mullet. You should do more of those
Yesss! More fly fishing please!
"Stroking the Tarpon" ....So thats what kids are callin it these days.
Lol!
Haha definitely a little sus on that one
Best fishing channel on The Tube right now. This kid is wise beyond his years. Good job Bro.

Calm relaxed,puts his rod together,wordless.....at the end puts his rod away wordless,humble....awe inspiring
Bro! 🙌 and on the fly rod too... and then from the bank 🤯
Tarpon on the fly is pretty much on every fly fisherman’s bucket list
Raycefan so true my dream for a 40plus pounder on fly
Was for me, till I heard about guys catching bill fish on fly which just sounds like absolute mayhem lol
Except the ones who don’t want to be prevention Instagram asshats, catching inedible fish for the sake of a glamor shot.
@@itlleatadventuresbarrs7624 What?
Don’t forget... Peacocks in the Amazon. Pike in near the Yukon. GTs in the Seychelles. Bones in Hawaii. Golden Dorado in Argentina.
U KNOW IT
LOVE me some lawson videos
stay safe out there bro
thanks ...... PEACE
Love vids like this that shows how theirs sometimes that you won’t catch a lot of fish I’m tired of always seeing videos on RUclips how fisherman’s be slaying fish but in realty probably took them a whole month to make a video like that
Your videos are tv show quality. Keep it up brother.
Yes finally some Florida videos
I really enjoy watching the landbased fishing, and this time especially with the fly rod because it was different, it makes you explore new spots on foot, and it’s something most of us can relate to being bank fisherman.
So glad to see the fly fishing videos are back!
Ton of fun on a #4. Good stuff.
Very dope, love how much your changing it up
What a beautiful video i love lawson favorite youtuber by far
Petition to buy Lawson a friggin net???
YES FLY FISHING
Always keep it interesting!!! I like !!!
Like the calmness the video brought !
Jumping baby tarpon on the fly is a great reason to always carry a fly rod in Dade County in your car.
I think juvenile tarpon has got to be the most under appreciated and unrecognized way of fishing...there should be a much bigger following for ju-V tarpon fishing.
Finally some fly fishing
That was awesome
Very finesse Lawson
It’s videos like this I really enjoy because you have a badass boat you can be on but you still go out there and land stickem 🤘🏼
Casting is looking good bro🤙
Best ending to a fight with a turtle. Great video!
When you are casting stop your rod in the middle of the cast it will be less stress on your wrist
Nice vid Lawson 🤟🏼
Hand to hand combat 😂😂
there just something special about a good travel rod
Love Watching the videos Lawson, heading down to south Florida for the month of December and January, you know any fish to target and where???
Find an inlet and throw live bait.

Great video
Ayyy get it!!!
Why are there so many dislikes on this vid it’s a great video and you tubers spend so much time making them and editing them
Dudes using A 4-5 weight fly rod to catch tarpon. That’s rad
Looooove the style of this video
Really cool video!
Sick vid love it
How does this man not have a million subs

Wow this looked like a movie.
Dude that was insane! I'm gonna have to share this one with the boys! Great catch and release!
Keep the great content coming!
-D
I thought I was crazy for fishing for chinook salmon with a 6wt, but you top my insanity by fishing tarpon on a 4wt!
Did he say cmon daddy trying to hold the tarpon😂😂
Is it bad to net small tarpon?
I feel like a lot stress could have been removed from the end of that fight if he had a net.
They loose scales and get caught up in the net. NOT NETTING is less stressful on the fish. Just an fyi.
@@scottmichael3745 depends on the net I only use rubber nets
Yo i like the video keep up the great work
MORE FLY FISHING VIDS PLEASE
You got that right bud,"when it's gushing you gotta hit it right".
You've inspired me to dust off my fly rod! Nice vid as ALWAYS my man! :-)
Is it me or is a tarpon just a shiner with a crappie head
Tarpon belong to the samy gentic family
@@TheManofmisc ik
Great solo filming. That is nearly as difficult as catching tarpon on fly.
You folks in the U.S of A do the fly fishing kinda different to my folk, we just do a poop on the grass and wait with a net...patience is the key they can't resist the scent
Every time I see someone catch a tarpon I get exited to see it I really wanna catch a tarpon

Hey Lawson great video man
More fly fishing videos!!!!!
More flyfishing vids plz
That looks just like a rod I have. I can't imagine tackling (HA) a tarpon with a 4wt.
Are you throwing a 3-4w or 5-6w?
MORE FLY FISHING
Yo. Slow that cast down. Got to make love to that 4wt. She likes it nice and delicate. Keep that Flip Pallot tradition alive good sir. Thanks for the great video. Excellent sound and editing.

Nice job lawson. But maybe pick up a nice 8 weight so your not so under gunned.
I wasn’t aware AFTCo makes yoga pants
Lmao bro!
Some one help, I CAN'T BREATHE! 😆 🤣 😂
4 wt and Tarpon!🤣
I’ve never clicked on one of your videos faster
The only way 2020 can get worse is if the annual 30 day challenge is canceled, make it happen dawg✌🏻
I’ve been on a month long binge watching every video backwards I’m in 2 years........I’m annoying the hell out of my wife an coworkers but I just can’t seem to put it down
Should I get the battletek
“Hand to hand combat”
I missed the flying fishing man
Very Jack Hargreaves
I saw you change the title!
What’s the boat situation?
Tarpon on a fly... what more can be said!?! Nice! Be Safe
Last spillway I fished I thought I was snagged until my line turned and started taking off the other direction with my hoggie and there was no stopping it. Pretty sure it was a manatee! Lol
might wanna delete this lmao
@@mattb68 why I don't think it's illegal to accidentally hook a manatee

There are way better places to fish along that canal for snook tarpon and bass
Hey man, would you be able to share this location?
More spill way videos
Are you going to make a brook trout video?
Like before watching? Who, ME??
what is up my dawgs it lawson here
I stroked my tarpon through this whole video
ggs bro
