Flukes catch everything in my experience. Definitely the best soft plastic jerk bait of all time. The weightless fall is deadly cause the tail just subtly wiggles and fish can't stand it. Also another reason why I like them is they cast far rigged weightless.
Awesomr repect and humility as always for the quick catch and release!!! While gator scanning!!! Thanks for the work you put in to share these amazing stories. This was one of those stories you'd have to see it to believe it! Great job as always. That is one strong fish. Congratulations!
Love the channel. Can’t wait to see the repairs on the project boat. I’m going to guess that tarpon was 39 inches and that’s why you could take it out of the water. Just gotta be careful with those regulations brotha.
Hermoso pez, tienes un anzuelo preciso, recuerda este lugar aquí en Brasil donde pesco.👍🎣🐠😊 felicidades tu pesca fue un exito, eres un excelente pescador!
WOW! WOW! WOW! Also, couldnt help but notice the respect you had there for your where-with-all while squatting down talking the camera by edge of bank consently scanning left and right!
Haha what an awesome video. Lawdawgie you crack me up man lol. Fantastic tarpon. Really dark in that canal. Canal fishing looks so fun. I gotta drive a few hours south to do that soon🤟
Yeah, that sound is because the reed he is using , which is some model of the Shimano Curado DC which has a sealed digital chip inside of it that monitors the speed of the spool and regulates it so that it backlashes minimally
God Bless South Florida and a 3000 size shimano curado.lol It’s funny because I don’t use flukes too often during the season where I live(NY). It’s a very short season for superflukes, but if I had the option of one bait only, it’s a very difficult toss up. And it would most certainly be between a paddle tail and a fluke. I guess where I live, it would have to be paddle tail. But if I lived in a warmer water environment, I would most definitely go with the flukes.
Nice tarpon 👏🏼👏🏼 Definitely tough to choose between a paddle tail and fluke.. they mimic the same thing but are very different in many ways. Thanks honestly gotta go with the paddle tail, specifically the Exoswims, as they require less technique than a fluke. The twitch pause retrieve can be tricky to master where a paddle tail you just reel it. Another sick vid!
OMG, loved this one Brother ,you just can't beat a fluke for versatility ,but a Paddle tail shines too ,if I could only have 1 it would be Paddle tail and pinch off the tail when you need to use it as a jerk shad style (fluke).... Ahhh I may be onto something ,Thanks for sharing ,and Blessings to you and your beautiful Family.
Great fish Lawson! Especially for the back waters! Maybe closer to 15 to 20lbs max. tho...I would choose the paddle tail over the fluke as its a bit more versatile and you can use it in a few different conditions and methods...Best fishing youtuber on TH-cam!!! Fish on!
Had me kinda nervous there. That tarpon was practically calling the gators over, plus you're splash-dancing in the mud. THEN you turn your back to the water, YIKES! I'm like, "Probly got 50 gators inbound! Where's his gun?!" 😬😄. But you're a pro, so no worries👍
a fluke style bait will always be the GOAT IMO. if it eats a minnow it'll eat a fluke fresh or salt a darting/wounded baitfish style lure works. and you can get a 10pck at walmart for less than 3 bucks 🤷♂️ easy and effective
@@artificialslinger9730 way too floaty imo. Don’t get me wrong I’ve caught fish on them, but takes a little more weight to make them look natural…and I can take a zoom, use no weight, or a 1/16, and get the same effect in a way more slimline package.
@@artificialslinger9730 I actually bought a 50 pack of D.O.A fluke style baits and they've been great so far, they're slightly oily feeling because of the scent they use but over all are tougher than the wally world zoom flukes are are the same price if you buy a bulk bag 😅 come in some good colors too
@@artificialslinger9730 they seem great for catching large numbers of smaller fish, they don't cast great being so small tho. Quick story, one year I was walking the bank sight fishing bass on bed, could NOT get them to bite. I kept seeing them chase these tiny minnows off the bed so I took a zoom tiny fluke (these are very small flukes) wacky rigged it, and when very slightly twitched looked exactly like a minnow pulsing when it dies. that thing made them bedding bass bite fished it with a small bream hook and it would sink very slow, I'd toss it on the bed and let it slowly sink and lightly shake the rod tip and it'd barley do this pulse trembling type action, something I'd never seen anyone else do and it sure worked that day.
This surprises me cause I always see those fluke bait . But never picked them up I always look towards paddle tails but I gotta try it now after watching this video.
What an epic fishing spot with endless spots. Where I live I fished a lot of man made ponds but unfortunately those are on private property and now that I’m an adult I don’t cross that boundary that often. Wish I had something like that. What an epic adventure spot. You can bike and fish.
Heck yeah man! Fluke is def my favorite lure and I’d agree could be best all time. Watch any video on my channel and I always have a fluke tied on. Weightless most of the time!
Nice work mate, gotta love good fish landbased. As for G.O.A.T style of lure it's hard to beat a soft swimbait over here in Aus. They will get everything from Trout to GTs and everything in between.
Is it just me or does anyone else enjoy the land base videos more than the boat videos? I can totally relate to the style of fishing!
Had so many exams this week, nice to see a Lawson post
Same, his posts take a bit of the stress off😅

i have no idea what a fluke is but man I'm soooo frothed up on a fish like that in that little canal! Epic mate
Love the colors on that tarpon at the end!
What an amazing place! Such a special spot. Every kind of water life you can imagine in a Florida water way.
That's a great catch! I love fishing flukes too, especially the pearl white. If I had only one bait to use forever, it would be that fluke.
Nice fish! Fluke for sure as far as baits go.🤙
Nice job landing that fish ,and filming the landing so well!
Sick buddy 👍👍👍...the fluke is the goat....
Man one time I was fishing my old apartment lake with a fluke here in Tampa and caught a nice 20lb tarpon bass fishing. Gotta love FL!
Amazing , ,
Congratulations on getting back to it! Loved the video. Love both the fluke and paddle tail, tough pick.
Awesomr repect and humility as always for the quick catch and release!!! While gator scanning!!! Thanks for the work you put in to share these amazing stories. This was one of those stories you'd have to see it to believe it! Great job as always. That is one strong fish. Congratulations!
What a CATCH Lawson!
Absolute heater. You’ve been grinding for this one man. Well deserved! Sick catch!

Congrats Lawson! Heck of fish any day, much less from the bank!!
That is the most badass thing in the world man i assure you that. What a tarpon for that creek.
Very nice canal tarpon! Love the land based uploads!
Awesome catch brother. I have to start targeting tarpon, never caught one.
"Wooooo gimme some of that right there" 😎🔥🔥🔥
Hermoso pez, tienes un anzuelo preciso, recuerda este lugar aquí en Brasil donde pesco.👍🎣🐠😊
felicidades tu pesca fue un exito, eres un excelente pescador!
What a catch! Love fishing flukes for LMBs.
Epic Lawson🤙🏻 loving all the different content lately

The best Fishing Chanel!! 🇧🇷

WOW!!! My Dawg does it again....Way to go dawg!!!
Whenever you make a cast with your bait caster it makes a unique noise, don’t know if I’m the only that hears it lol nice video!
It’s a DC reel
Think its the shimano curado dc with a smaller spool like a 150
Yeah, that sound is because the reed he is using , which is some model of the Shimano Curado DC which has a sealed digital chip inside of it that monitors the speed of the spool and regulates it so that it backlashes minimally
as a nothern angler, I could fish spoons any day of the week. nice catch homie
Super cool. Love the canal tarpon.
A great day --- An awesome catch!!! Be Safe

Love fluke，even caught a giant frog with it one time
Yea I agree I even was slamming yellow jacks off a keys bridge with a fluke great lure
12:13 couldn’t agree more, that was dope.
💯 fluke is my sauce all day
Flukes are mostly all I throw here in South Texas. The red fish can’t resist the action 🔥forsure my go to lure
Dude this was sick, gonna try and throw some flukes real soon by the canals over here in Tampa! I'll keep you posted!
That was an awesome Tarpon! From the bank even!
Loving the land skipping brother, no boat needed
Awesome fish my dawg 🤙🏻 especially considering the location. I love it! 🎣😏👍🏻
Man because of you I've bought some zoom flukes over here in Australia!! Keen to get into some of our species with them ❤
Dude, YES! so awesome! been trying to catch a tarpon for 2 years now. Eventually, I'll nab one. Great job
That was an awesome catch!!
Keep at it man. Good 'ol land fishing.

Great fish man..two thumbs up from Indonesia
Keep up the good work and great catch
Lawson great to see you back in your element. I see you used the double fisted method on the second tarpon. Well done. 👍
What a great fish!!!!
That tarpon off the bank was legit, seriously way cooler than from a boat.

I really enjoyed by watching this fishing and thanks for sharing I really love it 😀
Awesome stuff man
Great content thanks, dude. I love me some fluke fishing; fresh or salt.
Those flukes are some great lures.

Def bigger than 20lbs. Lawson is a big dude.
wow great fish on lite tackle thanks for the vid
That Lil’ Poon daddy’s been eatin’ good son!🙌🏻

When are we gonna see you fish from the new boat?
Keep it up mate 💪

@@artificialslinger9730 there great baits but they melt so easily. trout slayer bait for sure!

I’m from the Midwest, gotta go with a size 4 Mepps. I’ve caught Pike, bass, walleye, Muskie, and even channel cats on them.
Do more tarpon fishing I love these vids🎣
Props, that was sickk!
that was awesome! I have yet to land a decent tarpon! good stuff.
Nice video 👊🏻🇺🇸 and if I could only throw one bait I’d still go with the paddle tail swim bait myself
I love the sound of your bait caster
Flukes are definitely up there for sure.
Paddle tail kills it for me over here in Miami.
My brotha the sound of that casting reel when it is casted is so sexy. Music to a fisherman's ears.
Killer catch man
Weightless flukes🔥💯🙌🏻
money
Love your content LawDawg! You are one of, if not THE, BESTTT TH-camr!!!!! Love ya my Dawg! 😘

Benar itu sobat , , ,

Flukes for sure the best lure. I love when law gets fired up
