Lawson, I want you to understand how hard it is to get people to watch over an hour video. It’s super difficult to get a viewer to watch a video that long through an through. You wanna know what’s different about you though? You give us a QUANTITY SIZE of an hour worth of QUALITY WORK. You gave us a video today that every single person will look back at when you pass and we will all shed tears because THIS IS THE LAWSON WE LOVE AND KNOW. The best friend, the husband, the father, and for many of us viewers the way we are able to personally connect to you. KEEP BEING YOU ❤️
“Doing something that I know I couldn’t fake”. In a world full of people only showing their “highlight reel” it’s inspiring to see someone meeting their life head on and actively trying to make improvements. Keep up the great work man, you’re an encouragement to all of us.
Awesome to see this man, been watching for probably 4 years now and just a big fan to see how much you are willing to do in life. Best of luck to you law dawg❤️. Hope to see more videos like this!
Holy cow, dude... What an inspiring video. I'm in a profession where I see people be their most vulnerable on a daily basis. This one connected with me. Thanks for sharing.
Lawson you're such a stud! 💪 Absolute legend. I'm happy i found this channel many years and that i'm able to follow you on your yourney! Keep being you Lawson, you are the reason we all come back to watch these videos ❤️
One thing I really appreciate that differs from other fishing channels is your choice of background music. Especially those times(like while chopping veggies and prepping the ceviche in this case) when you use soft, atmospheric and relaxing stuff. Nobody wants to be “hype” the whole duration of the video. Emotions change depending on the situation and there are different types of music to fit each mood. Keep doing what you’re doing my good man and keep the faith. Much love from MN!!! Edit: speaking of music, where’s “eye of the tiger” when you need it?
Hey Lawson, I’ve been watching you for a long time and I just wanted to say that this video is so motivating and entertaining! The quality is amazing and so is the editing. Funny enough i weighed exactly the same as you did and had just recently started dieting and this video has given me so much inspiration. Once again, great video.
It's been so fun watching you grow and mature as boy into a young man and father. So much water and variety in Florida. And realistic videos that show fishing is not always catching.
Great video! Good luck on your journey. I'm' 53 and I've been fishing since I was 6, lifting since I was 14 and running 3-4 days a week for 9 years or so. Watching your video made me think about those things in different terms. I really take them for granted. It is a blessing to be healthy so you can be there for your family in all ways. You are also setting an example for your children and others. There is nothing like running. There is physical and psychological healing power there that I can't explain. I suspect it's oxygen related. Keep getting after it! BRAVO!!!
Dang I love fishing and I literally watched that entire video. Great stuff Lawson, praying your family stays healthy. It would be a blast to go fishing with you. I live in Louisiana unfortunately, but if you said we could I’d fly or drive definitely lol. Great stuff again.
I admire your perseverance and dedication. It's a long video and I am only 10 minutes in and HOOKED. Your style is...one of a kind. Let's just say you are a minority of 1 lol. I really enjoy your creative content and your fishing.
My man. I haven’t even watched the whole video yet. Just saw it. Clicked it. Caught the first 20 seconds. The deepness soothes the soul. You’re literally the best fishing channel. God Speed.
I absolutely love your content Lawson. I’ve been watching for about 5 years and some of your vids hit so close to home. This is such a great idea for a video and it’s awesome you are setting this goal and it’s inspiring me to do the same to improve my physical and mental health.
Congratulations on your success Lawson. I've been watching your videos for about a year now and it's been a pleasure to see you settle into your rythm and figure out how to make life work doing what you do. Thank you for sharing the experiences. As a guy in a similar stage of life (married, job, house, inshore fisherman with a small skiff, 2 dogs - but no kids) who is also a bit of a slave to food and cravings and slightly overweight - I have to say I am definitely inspired to make some changes and be a better version of myself. Thank you for sharing this because it meant something to me. I'm going to do my best to act on what I'm feeling right now after watching this video that I know you put your all into. And I want to stick with it. Tight lines bro and I wish you and your family the best. Patrick.
Loved the video man! I think you’re bringing something different to fishing videos that I really enjoy. Not just this one, but even back to the video where you had the house boat and played guitar. You capture the feeling and mood of why I enjoy fishing and being on the water really well. Hype is great, but that calm and peaceful atmosphere can be breath taking when you’re out there.
Throughly enjoyed this whole video, I have been watching your channel for about 5 years. It’s really cool to see you develop from a young man, into a father and how far you’ve come. Congratulations on life man!
Lawson, I'm watching you literally from the other side of the world and to be honest that MOVIE you've made inspired me to a level I cannot even imagine ! I never write comments on RU-vid but hell you deserved it !!! You are an inspiration man ! I have three little kids and struggling to do the same thing as you are here in Bulgaria - if you ever heard it... so you can imagine how it is... hats down bro ! You are a legend !❤
The ending 🥹♥️ my whole heart! I’m so proud of your vulnerability and perseverance throughout this entire challenge. You are an inspiration to all and a hero to your son!
What a production!!! So beautiful, inspiring and entertaining. For real had tears in my eyes in the end. My hats off to you sir. Don't change a thing!!!😊
Bro just so you no you inspire alot of us already. I'm not a small guy either and I believe that you have inspired me as well to start making better life choices, to think about my future help for my kids that I may have taken for granted the last several years. Thank you so much for what you do.
Best video on your channel Lawson. The truer you are the better the video is. The more you expose your true self like this; the better your viewers can relate to you. Everyone appreciates that
amazing video, I like this style, the cinematography and just the behind the scenes work, and editing makes me feel like I’m watching a movie. It gives me a weird good feeling that makes me feel like I’m there.
I've been following your channel since before you married. I can"t begin to tell you how much I enjoyed this video. Thank you and keep it up... I' nearing 70 and this video got me pumpped to start leading a healthier life. Blessings to you and your family... all the way from Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca, Mexico.
Dude this whole journey was riveting! Didn’t expect you to struggle those first couple days with catching fish but that goes to show it’s not easy! Really enjoyed this one my man.
Lawson- you are the best and leader in creating great content. Remember- running only proves you are in good shape. Running does not get you into shape. Running proves you are in shape. Always push forward.
Great video. Thanks for sharing every second of it. I needed this and I’m sure others did too. Also, I need confirmation on the sailcat record brother! I’m going for that record myself. Unintentionally of course.
Love to see you getting healthier, I feel like we all need to challenge ourselves more and I will be using this as inspiration in my own journey to better my physical health.
your best video yet. loved it, we can make it through this journey together. I can see you have really dedicated your life to family which is most important. best of luck!
Way to go Lawson! Just keep that drive up and keep pushing forward! I'm in almost the exact same boat your in man! Weighed myself one day and was 218 at 5'9" and decided it was time to do something! I'm now down to 190 and still pushing! Look forward to seeing your progression man! Keep it up!
Loved it, maybe your best work yet. Kinda surprised how long it took you to switch to live bait, though. If I’m meat-fishing for survival, I’m live baiting 100%. Eleven mile run on only your second run, don’t think you thought that one through. But, you survived and accomplished your mission! Well done!! Congrats on that beast of a GTSail Cat, what a beauty. You keep making them, I’ll keep watching them.
Cinematic masterpiece, 10/10. You have shown me how capable the human body is to power through tough situations, you will be an inspiration to me and my journey. I am someone who allows food to control my life and I feel like after seeing this video I have what it takes to take control of my appetite. Thank you for your hard work and dedication, I am glad i subscribed to you
Hey I'm trying to buy some of your lures, the salt native beast walker in 5" black and chartreuse but I can't find it, do you happen to know where I can get 4 or 5? By the way it catches giants.... please let me know.. thanks
It's humbling!!! --- But, on the flip side, you could survive if need be on what ya caught; you really didn't go empty handed other than by choice. So, it's all good. Congrats on the half; you set out to do that, made a goal - and completed it!!!! Hat's off to ya. And a big hello to Chelsea and lil one .......... great to see ya!!!! :) Let's Goooooo!!!! Be Safe
