If AJ’s are “ reef donkeys “ then Goliath Grouper must be “ bridge mules “. You got off easy... you didn’t have to go to the gym for your workout. Great video Lawson!
They’re predominantly used for pelagic salt water fish. Dog fights and stellas are in a league of their own in terms or stopping power and quality for GT ect
Don't get into fly fishing... Thousands bucks for a top line reel (a curado equivalent in fly fishing) do they make a difference like going from a 50$ baitcaster to a curado? Absolutely not 😂😂
Saw the thumbnail on my phone and thought "that does not look like a bridge monster". Watched later on my computer and realized the thumbnail was of the bait, lol. Nice couple of fish👍 Those things pull so hard.
Wow what a workout with those mini beasts! Exactly... I've seen videos people catching these monster size...man you need metal cable lines and be able to bench 500lbs to reel the full size ones...I hope to see that one day but I'm sure you'll get a hernia to pull one full size.
The 350 I caught off Tampa is the only fish in my life that pinned the rod to the side of the boat and I could not lift it off. You get why they have to be so heavily protected, they're so aggressive that if you could keep them it wouldn't be difficult to destroy a local population.
Never caught a Goliath but it amazes me how much power they seem to have even at 20 pounds. I always thought people exaggerated their strength but I'm guessing they're just that strong. Can anyone verify how powerful they actually are?
Dude I have never met anyone who shares the same enthusiasm as me when it comes to fishing. It’s like looking in the mirror. The excitement about every little thing; seeing a huge jack swim up and down the canal to a snook taking a swipe at a gar, to catching a 10 inch sheep with the same excitement as a 40” snook. That’s why I love your videos so much. Your super humble, passionate and talented. Keep up the good work brother!! Also I’m curious what part of Florida are you in? I’m near Tampa bay.
This is a great video... I did comment on another video that you filmed at the same bridge and said you should get yourself some heavy fishing gear and try to rip that bridge troll out from those fenders... GUESS WHAT... you did it!!!!!! NOW let's see you catch a large jack and send it down there with a hand line and see how big some of those bridge monsters can be! I bet there are a few 300 or 400 pound behemoths down there.
I have a slammer 8500 and it works great. If you want an even better deal imo, look at quantum cabos. Theyre 120 (same as an 8000) is 320 and has 65 pounds of drag. And lighter. My mom uses one and its the smoothest full size reel I've ever felt. And not many people have heard of them
You can't have alot of drag with grooper or any sort of reaf fish as the moment they get hooked they go straight back into the honey hole. Im not to sure about river groopers tho. In Australia with the red and blue grooper we have here the moment you hook them do everything you can to keep them away from the little cave or little rock holes.
So here's my question Lawson: "What is the brand of ROD you were using, type of rod action (flex, stiff or medium) and braid weight on that Rod. Do you think the value of the rod is good, and if so why?
Lawson I'm a big fan of yours have been for a long time but this is your best work yet did you really say my trolling motor needs to start doing something to help me out🤣 lmao I have caught them this size but after the third one my arms were gone
Hello Great catch , just a simple question, i have seen so many video people catching and releasing giant goliath groupers, just curious why dont peole eat them ?? R they too old have worms or what ??
That Tern is great for big snook, reds, or decent for most bottom fishing. However you need to step into a Boss Valiant for those goliath grouper. My 2 speed BV 500 was $650.00 made in the USA and with 70+ pounds of drag I guarantee it would absolutely smoke that Chinese daiwa.
Love the big fish content, I catch a lot of goliaths offshore as bycatch but never gotten one inshore, even though I know they are lal over the jettis and bridges.
I don’t know if you will notice this but because of you fishing to me has gotten so much better and I caught my pb redfish it was 49 and 3/4 inches you gotta love the fight tho
zThose are little toddlers compared to how big those guys really get. Down here in Sanibel we regularly catch 120-180 lb monsters under the bridge coming over to the island from mainland. Cool vid but those were babies compared to how big they get😎
Head over to the Ramp on 15th st and Hook that Goliath Grouper, you better eat you wheaties and drink your milk cause he's a monster under those docks.
Grouper's like "I got yo proper release right here...SPLASH!! Git yo hands offa me right meow, human!" 😄
When Lawson starts grunting u know it’s real
I always grunt when im into something with any sorta size lol
Uhhh
Sounding like Macho Man 😄
Don't you mean reel? Lol!
Awesome fish. To imagine catching a 200-300 pounder with rod and reel. Crazy. Good job there Lawson.
Goliath videos are my absolute favorites... the ultimate battle!!
If AJ’s are “ reef donkeys “ then Goliath Grouper must be “ bridge mules “. You got off easy... you didn’t have to go to the gym for your workout.
Great video Lawson!
This is one of the most exciting videos I've seen yet
I can’t imagine spending that much on a reel insanity. Like the two Curado DCs I bought were painful enough lmao

Now that felt like the old Lawson video’s, very nice.
Saw the thumbnail on my phone and thought "that does not look like a bridge monster". Watched later on my computer and realized the thumbnail was of the bait, lol. Nice couple of fish👍 Those things pull so hard.
I’m here for the river monsters!! 🤘🎣
You really flexing on us with that 1100$ reel.
Calvin I’ll slap ya
@@LawsonLindseyFishing You wouldn't say that to my face ya fool
@@calvin6609 Yeah bc it would turn you on, you breakfast food fetish freak
He did but I love it
I purchased one right after I saw this video
Otis is the cutest dog
You are a beast throwing that net Lawson.
Truth is, we are just all here for Otis
Sweet reel, but maybe try and loosen the drag, maybe you could've had that big one
It didnt snap him it got him into the fenders. Thats why you lock it down and drag them out when fishing structure
His line had a heavier test rating than the max drag on his reel
I love the way you put the beginning of this video together now let’s see some action!!!
Quality of these videos has gone up and up but this one really takes the first place. Amazing video as always Lawson. Stay safe
I agree
Liking the new recording style and the voice overs are a nice touch to the sick b roll
“It’s a little guy” proceeds to grunt furiously
Wow what a workout with those mini beasts! Exactly... I've seen videos people catching these monster size...man you need metal cable lines and be able to bench 500lbs to reel the full size ones...I hope to see that one day but I'm sure you'll get a hernia to pull one full size.
THESE ARE MY FAVORITE TYPE OF VIDEOS!!
1:50 aww look at that confused doggo
The goliath grouper videos are my favorite, great vid!
The 350 I caught off Tampa is the only fish in my life that pinned the rod to the side of the boat and I could not lift it off. You get why they have to be so heavily protected, they're so aggressive that if you could keep them it wouldn't be difficult to destroy a local population.
Diawa...
Two purchased in 1975...45 years old!
Still mused for Strippers!!
Great equipment....
Stopping power!??!! You mean pull you in the drink power!!!!!!🤣🤣
“ it’s a little guy OOOOOHHH” doesn’t sound too little to me😂😂
More of these please. Great switch up from the snook!
Never caught a Goliath but it amazes me how much power they seem to have even at 20 pounds. I always thought people exaggerated their strength but I'm guessing they're just that strong. Can anyone verify how powerful they actually are?
yes i have caught a 70 ounder they are strong
This place is beautiful, it has big fish, it seems here in Brazil where I fish.
Congratulations your fishing equipment is very good.👍🎣🐟😎😎
I'm loving the voice over style videos, nice change of pace!

Also I’m curious what part of Florida are you in? I’m near Tampa bay.
I love how you farmed a fish when the dinner bells were ringing.
Dude when you let out that groan i swear you could be In a metal band😂 hmu if you want to play music some time 😂👌
Had my first giant grouper in the Keys. Fish was around 3.5 ft and holy hell what power these fish have. Great video.
That saltiga is a dream reel for me. Great video!
For anyone wondering, you CAN take juvenile Goliath grouper out of the water
Love your videos man. You inspire me as a new fisherman. You’ve got some great content in here. Definitely subscribed. Keep it pumpin.
Hi Lawson. A hug from Brazil, Kalua s team. Ian
Lol I read the title and said "he's finally using the dogfight"
Man that looks like so much fun. I want to catch one bad. Been on my bucket list for a while.
This is a great video... I did comment on another video that you filmed at the same bridge and said you should get yourself some heavy fishing gear and try to rip that bridge troll out from those fenders...

Lawson got big biceps just by fishing😂
Good video Lawson you are living the dream buddy tight lines
When the bells went off I was waiting to see a black Trans Am Firebird jump over the drawbridge.
Cool vid man , you should do more like this 👍
That cute dog stole the show
Love the vid man I wish I could fish with you lol
Love these videos mate. New and exciting. Next target: urban shark fishing? Goliath grouper on a whole chicken?
If you want that much drag why not go with the PENN SLAMMER3 reels? I have a 10500 spooled with 500yds of 100lbs spectra with a price tag of only $350
This was a cool video man. I’m glad to see you change it up a little bit. I’m a huge fan man, just want to see some different content.
Thuper thuper fun. Awesome video!
Love your editing,keep up the good work!
Penn Slammer would get the job done, no need to spend thousands to buy a reel
Yeah especially how affordable they are the 10500 goes for 350$(I think) they have 60 pounds of drag
Yup u have a slammer 7500 and lovvvvveee it!
I have a slammer 8500 and it works great. If you want an even better deal imo, look at quantum cabos. Theyre 120 (same as an 8000) is 320 and has 65 pounds of drag. And lighter. My mom uses one and its the smoothest full size reel I've ever felt. And not many people have heard of them
yeah i use a 5500 penn slammer on a pe 1-3 jigging rod i always have loved that reel that drag can stop 9kg red emperor and 10kg black spot cod
You can't have alot of drag with grooper or any sort of reaf fish as the moment they get hooked they go straight back into the honey hole. Im not to sure about river groopers tho.

Yess!! Been waiting for a monsters video 👌👌
So here's my question Lawson: "What is the brand of ROD you were using, type of rod action (flex, stiff or medium) and braid weight on that Rod. Do you think the value of the rod is good, and if so why?
Keep up the good work,Iove your channel
Keep Shaving Rookie!
I like your kitchen door lol
I would love to see a video with you and BlacktipH catch some giants
Lawson I'm a big fan of yours have been for a long time but this is your best work yet did you really say my trolling motor needs to start doing something to help me out🤣 lmao I have caught them this size but after the third one my arms were gone
I’m really starting to like some of the voice over parts I like you new ideas to keep growing keep up the good work!
Dude, that was sick!
Great action!!! I just installed an Ipilot on my boat today so I’m gonna be doing a bunch of Goliath fishing
Good video bro! You keep things interesting brotha!!
Hello Great catch , just a simple question, i have seen so many video people catching and releasing giant goliath groupers, just curious why dont peole eat them ?? R they too old have worms or what ??
saw video posted 11 minutes ago even at work im pressing the like button before i watch it later tonight
Lawdawg with the macho man randy savage grunt!!
FINALY I LOVE THESE VIDS
2:30 is the cute dog moment
You love that bridge!!!
Nice work bro love the video
I love your dog.
May sound silly to some but its nice to see another angler with a lisp.
Well done my man
Thanks for the entertainment
That Tern is great for big snook, reds, or decent for most bottom fishing. However you need to step into a Boss Valiant for those goliath grouper. My 2 speed BV 500 was $650.00 made in the USA and with 70+ pounds of drag I guarantee it would absolutely smoke that Chinese daiwa.
Also stop setting the hook on those circle hooks. The work much better on just tension
Are you fishing that bait unweighted? Surprised it swims straight for the grouper, wish more baits were like that
I need a video of you fishing with your dog sometime soon
Love the big fish content, I catch a lot of goliaths offshore as bycatch but never gotten one inshore, even though I know they are lal over the jettis and bridges.
Great job!!
Beautiful Fish...
where can i get that hat in the beginning of the video?
I don’t know if you will notice this but because of you fishing to me has gotten so much better and I caught my pb redfish it was 49 and 3/4 inches you gotta love the fight tho
Hobe sound bridge has got some giants
Lawson going to end up in the water thats that much drag lmao
with*
Hey there Lawson, where was this video made? I live around the area but don’t recognize the bridge.
Lawson , the only lisp that doesn’t bother me
Awesome video my RUclips friend. What are the specs on that rod your using?
zThose are little toddlers compared to how big those guys really get. Down here in Sanibel we regularly catch 120-180 lb monsters under the bridge coming over to the island from mainland. Cool vid but those were babies compared to how big they get😎
Sthufferin sthuccatath! Thththththththhhhhhsssss
Great video, can you do more vids like these these are some of my favourite video. You getting destroyed by big fish
She’s gonna whip you with that stick lol
Who makes that rod that the dogfight was on? That looks like one to take to the grouper holes 20 miles out.
You should try putting a 50W tiagra in a rod holder and dragging em out with the boat before you fight them, might have better luck on the monsters
That goliath has got to be a little more then 15-20 pound wouldn't you think? I was thinking more like 30 pound
Head over to the Ramp on 15th st and Hook that Goliath Grouper, you better eat you wheaties and drink your milk cause he's a monster under those docks.
Grooper are very nice tasting fish.
I do this same thing in my 10ft kayak and its like getting pulled by a sled dog. You should try this again on that micro skiff
like always making some great content!!
Love these type of videos!! What do you talk about on your twitch??
