Great story! I loved those old days in the 70's at Bill Jones Fish Camp on the diversion canal. Such great characters, Sarge, Odell, Boob, and the rest of gang. Not to mention night fishing the cuts for 'rockfish'. Good times, indeed!
Hey Roland I am a guide I n Boca Grande I med you serve times once when I was a game warden 1983 to 1988 on Okeechobee at the monkey box and once in Placid boat Praying real hard for Chris so sorry about Lucy
We all are praying for Jimmy and Chris. Chris had a stroke and keep praying for her recovery. We appreciate all you guys over the years and we thank guys for teaching everyone more how to catch fish. God Bless
I could spend a whole day, sitting around listening to Roland stories- what fun that would be. Please Pray for Jimmy Houston's wife Chris- and keep her in your prayers. God Bless.
I’m 47 been watching the best 4 guys in fishing for 40 years. You Orlando Wilson bill dance and uncle jimmy. Y’all all the best. Was just a kid but would get up extra early on Saturday morning just to watch y’all catch fish. Best time ever. Just an FYI. Jimmy’s wife miss Chris isn’t doing so well had a stroke and a brain aneurysm on Monday. Y’all keep her in your prayers pls. Jimmy needs everyone right now and we all love the both of them.
Can you imagine spending a day with Roland, Jimmy and Bill. I'm thinking that would be a hilarious day you would never forget! Sending prayers to Jimmy and Chris.
We love hearing from you. I've watched you for 40-50 years....Moved to Fl 25 yrs ago. Had leg/toe amputations last few yrs but need to get a boat and get back fishing again.
Thier daughter Shrrie has been posting updates on their RUclips channels. She is awake and started to move one of her arms. On which Jimmy had a video on RUclips yesterday. We still praying for them. God Bless
The whole time he was telling this story I couldn’t help but think of Dance’s Bloopers where : 1) he about steps on that cottonmouth 2) when the snake falls in the boat and he kicks it Hey y’all I’m so glad to see All the many prayers going out to The Houstons. Not only are they outdoor Legends that many of us grew up with, they are beautiful wonderful people. Prayers for them and their family. (Glad to see Martin, Houston, and Dance still entertaining and educating all of us.) 👍👍
You Bill and Jimmy are the first fishing shows I ever watched. Keep up the great videos. You three are definitely legends!! Keep praying for Jimmys wife and whole family.
Yes I enjoy watching on the weekends , u guys are the best out there , yes legends that has shown us the way it’s done even on a bad day , did I say bad day fishing , no way , Thanks Guys for great fishing memories.
Roland, I always enjoy your stories about your tournament days and anything else. You are looking good. God bless. Keeping my fishing heroes in my prayers especially Chris and Jimmy's family after her brain aneurysm. 🙏🙏🙏
Roland Sir, I love you so much! I watched back in 1979-1983 before I left home to be a special effects artist. Dance, You, and Houston were my addictions from 12-19 or so. Knowing your show is back on makes me want to own a TV again. But I kicked the brain candy addiction years ago and only watch YT and similar now. I cannot tell you how much respect I have for you and btw, you raised a decent boy too, your son rocks! But dude, you've been retired your whole life compared to most ppl, having the career of a Bass Angler is non stop retirement, dont kid yersef ! What a life !! When I die i want to be re-incarnated as you. Wishing you health and many more years to come Sir. I always wanted to fish with one of you guys, dad would've filled his pants if he ever saw me on one of your shows. he he.
Nothing better than a gathering of fishing friends telling stories and tall tales... You know maybe the world would find its way again. If we just got back to enjoying the simple things in life.
1am and this had me laughing so loud i woke up the old lady and kid. this stuff is classic. im watching this just after watching bill's blooper videos.
Love the story. Those must have been a great time during those early years of BASS.. You and Bill played such a huge part in making bass fishing so popular.
Great story Roland, and yes you look healthy as can be. Amazing to me someone your age got over covid so fast and that shoulder surgery so fast too. Thanks!
Did Bill put that long snake in my truck a tournament or two later in Kentucky I think. We blamed him anyhow. lol Sorry to hear about Chris. Love that family.
Prayers for Chris and Jimmy Houston. I feel so bad for Chris and Jimmy and then they lose their let deer Lucy on top of it all. Just awful timing. May God Bless Chris and heal her fully.😢🙏💕
Unless you have this fear of snakes you can never understand how hard and scary it is to have someone scare you with one. It's the same with people that hates spiders. I hate spiders but I'm not the least scared of them like I am of snakes so I would never scare someone with spiders.
When I was a kid, about 10yrs old, I got mad at my brother and caught a bit toad frog and put it in his bed, however, we had a cousin to visit and I had to sleep with my brother, about 3 oclock in the morning the frog got on my brothers led; I had plenty of bruises to show what I had done. Cousin thought I did great, WOW
Oh by no means are you retired only doing the things you love best as the Lord gives. I wonder when little baby Roland was in his crib if his mother had a Carousel of fish going around above him. 🎣🌴
do you remember hirrum tyson i asked jimmy houston but he fished with you guys way back in the day he showed me pictures he was from holmes county florida now retired ag teacher you know farming and plants teacher for washington county vernon florida

Based on Bill's blooper reels, I'm pretty sure nature hurls at least 5 snakes a day at him.
