Don’t get me wrong, he’s a LEGEND!! But when he said I got polarized glasses and just saw one… while not wearing glasses, makes me think he’s superhuman.. 🤣🤣🤣
Not sure where you live, here in Texas we have lakes and huge ponds are that stocked like no other. I was just out in Lake Lewisville near The Colony and I was catching bass nearly every cast I threw like Roland. You gotta find the right place where they are schooled.
Roland Martin taught me to fish(via his youtube videos) with a Texas rigged yamamoto senko (297 Green Pumpkin) on a 04 EWG hook and My fishing has never been the same. I have caught more bass since I found his videos during covid then I had in my entire life (44 years old in 2020). I catch tons of bass on mono line and often on braided line. a key factor that I also learned from Roland Martin is that you need braid when your fishing areas where fish will get into plants and grass etc as you reel them in. In those conditions your mono might break if your bass gets into a bunch of grass etc.
Pretty hard to argue against Rolands view of the 297 senko when he catches over 20 pounds of fish in one spot on the bank and makes a cast to the same area on the pond.
I forgot how much I love watching you fish. Thanks for doing this Roland. Takes me right back to the eighties. Also, Sinko needs to be paying you, I have Sinko green pumpkin with watermelon flake on the way!
Nothing is more fun than fishing a small pond with plastic worms. Senko, Strike King Trick Worms, Paddle tails...it doesn't matter. Like shooting fish on a barrel when they hit it on the drop
Roland Martin is my favorite fisherman since I was a kid watching him on TV down here in Austin texas. Talking mid to late 80's I believe. This man is an unbelievable fisherman.
That pitch you make at 6:34 you taught me at a casting tournament on Broward county when i was 6 years old and it changed my life im 37 now. Thanks Roland. Btw i placed 2nd at that tournament.
“Small pond” HAHA only in Florida. As many times as I’ve seen Roland demonstrate how to use a senko, I’ll never get tired of watching. The senko is BY FAR my favorite plastic. I always have multiple tied on. One weightless, one on a t-rig, possibly one on a ned.
i did exactly what he said, tried it on a neighborhood pond, caught two big bass in 15 minutes....then nothing for the next 45'. Still, super happy with the technique. He reels in much slower than I was previously
3:30 LOL I do that, too. 'He's right here AT THE BOAT!' 'He hit it right AT THE BOAT!' 'He's gone under THE BOAT!' Mind you.... *_I've never even owned A BOAT_*
Roland, your comment about how bass really love the texture of the senko really hit home for me. That must be what makes it more effective than other similar types of worms.
Always like to watch your videos. I caught a few nice bass on senkos on a little lake here in Wisconsin, off the dock. My 8 yr old grandson was with me, and says bass are cool lol. Thanks for the video and the tips.
Roland thanks to you I have improved my fishing techniques! In my country Argentina we do not have sea bass but there is a species of fish called tarariras, it is very similar to a snake head that uses lures and very similar techniques with the difference that the tararira has teeth and we use a larger diameter steel or flurocarbon Leader. I really love when he does bank fishing!
He is catching largemouth bass, not to be confused with sea bass. But they are predatory fish none the less, so I’m sure the same techniques would work.
Thanks Roland. I am going to use your advice for sure because i have not have a lot of success fishing a senko. I love super flukes or fat albert grubs. Your videos are brilliant and my fishing has improved a lot. One teacher teaching a colleague from South Africa. Awesome!
Mr. Roland, awesome content and thank you for sharing! Used to love watching you on cable tv, and thank you for continuing to share these exceptional tidbits!
Remember that most of videos he is fishing either a private lake that is full of fish or the Everglades in spots he knows there are fish from years of experience. Of course, you still have to catch the fish!! Thanks Roland.
i like the 5 inch also. though i think the bigger gets bigger fish.. the 5 is like perfect for catching 2lbs and up.. i use 4s also but then the fish are usually under 2lb. if i do 6 inch or more.. then a lot less bites. what hooks were you using? the bad thing in cali.. at least here at this pressured spot i never found a school from the banks that i can catch many fish.. and its super rare for me to even catch 5 from the banks in one 3-4 hour session. i would say the average even with senko.. is 1 fish every couple hours.. but at this pressured lake i would say that is still good.. because many skunk here trying everything in the books.. the drawback of dropshot and senkos though.. its the slow way to fish.. but if you arent catching its the best ways to go.
Don’t get me wrong, he’s a LEGEND!!
But when he said I got polarized glasses and just saw one… while not wearing glasses, makes me think he’s superhuman.. 🤣🤣🤣
I just caught that too… like wtf is going on?? Could be staged some I guess…
You catch more big fish in a hour than I ever caught total
trust me its the ponds hes fishing
It helps being in Florida.

Same here.. still got none till this day.. bought senko, and i sink like a senko at fishing
so true

First, I love this guy...hes awesome. Second, anyone else notice the spider crawling on his right shoulder at 5:52.....freaken hate spiders
I am with you, spider crawling on me equals me jumping in the water. 😂
Spider was just fanboying
Didn’t notice it a first, GREAT JOB! It went under the edge of his shirt !
I noticed it was driving me crazy, wish someone had been there to tell him 😂
Roland's got polarized eyes...predator vision. Absolute icon. Thanks Roland for all the years of great advice and pure entertainment.
Pretty hard to argue against Rolands view of the 297 senko when he catches over 20 pounds of fish in one spot on the bank and makes a cast to the same area on the pond.
I've had decades of enjoyment and learning watching you Roland. Thank you!!!
Roland is the bass whisperer
He has forgotten more about bass fishing than most people will ever know. Legendary.
@@wnchstrman yep, bass hit his lures just to be able to say hi to the legend himself
Roland, i have followed your advice on fishing the senkos backwards. It ABSOLUTELY works jist as good even here in sunny and warm South Africa.
Great lookin’ area “Big Son”🌎🇺🇸🗽
Man, What a day “Big Son”😎🎣
Mr Martin .. could you possibly do a video on high pressure lakes some tips on that?? Thank you
Agreed. I might need to include stuff like that in my content.
@@TexasDigitalOutdoors would be awesome
Loved this one so much I had to watch it again. Thanks so much for making these videos, Roland.
this man has caught more big fish in one fishing trip than i have ever i need a someone like you to go fishing with
Haha, you've been fishing so long, you've got polarized eyes 🤣
Great info and video, thanks!
Mike 😄😄😄😄😄, I commented on that 👍
I forgot how much I love watching you fish. Thanks for doing this Roland. Takes me right back to the eighties. Also, Sinko needs to be paying you, I have Sinko green pumpkin with watermelon flake on the way!
I just saw a fish, I got polarized glasses! *Glasses are around his neck* Haha

That’s right Roland, leave the fishing area nicer than you found it ,,!!!🎣👍
The spider on his shoulder is freaking me out the whole time.
Roland Martin is my favorite fisherman since I was a kid watching him on TV down here in Austin texas. Talking mid to late 80's I believe. This man is an unbelievable fisherman.
Roland shall be called henceforth 'Dances with Bass'
Love ur show been a fan for over 35 years
That’s 3, 4, 5, 6, pounder hahahah 😂 love it Roland!
I really enjoy watching and learning... thanks
Been watching this master since the early 80s.
Best bass fishing videos on RUclips
just ordered 2 packs gonna hit the lake next week. Thanks Roland!

Always good to catch one on first cast
Awesome.well done.cheers.🍺👍👍👍
Great video Roland big fan of you and the family, but am I the only one who seen the “spider” on his shoulder omg!!!
i did exactly what he said, tried it on a neighborhood pond, caught two big bass in 15 minutes....then nothing for the next 45'. Still, super happy with the technique. He reels in much slower than I was previously
I'm going to be on Okeechobee this Memorial Day... taking one of your rental bass boats out. Im putting all of your tips to the test.. wish me luck!!!
Good luck!
Thank YOU Mr. Martin for making these videos!!! Been watching since a kid in the early 80's.
the last thing a fish ever wants to hear: "that's a strike!"
Magic man Martin out there again boys! WOOO SON!
3:30
LOL I do that, too.
'He's right here AT THE BOAT!'
'He hit it right AT THE BOAT!'
'He's gone under THE BOAT!'
Mind you....
*_I've never even owned A BOAT_*
Never get tired of your senko vids ....your definitely the best
You found a good hot spot. Plenty of nice size bass.
Watched this, went out that day and smacked 3 on Green Yum Dinger. Thank you Roland!
Thank you for all your doing Roland.i gotta tell you worm fishing is my go to!I love it, it almost never fails.
You’re like the Ric Flair of Fishing man 🔥
Roland, your comment about how bass really love the texture of the senko really hit home for me. That must be what makes it more effective than other similar types of worms.
I actually prefer the strike king ocho, but the senko is still king for being first.
The Senko is the big deal.. Yes but Roland is the big deal for his fans! Thank you Roland! Ever watching and learning more and more.
Always like to watch your videos. I caught a few nice bass on senkos on a little lake here in Wisconsin, off the dock. My 8 yr old grandson was with me, and says bass are cool lol. Thanks for the video and the tips.
Can you explain how you work the retrieve? great video!!

Great video! Love the stories in your what's up Roland! Rooting for Scott to win the Classic!!
What a legend! Glad to cya Roland keep on tuggin
I really appreciate these videos.!!! Keep on keepin on!!!
Yes the king still holds the throne.
Mr. Roland, awesome content and thank you for sharing! Used to love watching you on cable tv, and thank you for continuing to share these exceptional tidbits!
Thanks Roland, appreciate the time you take to make the videos.
Love the video and I fish it the way you do now Roland! Thanks for teaching me this and the color 297 green pumpkin!!!
You have spider crawling around on your right shoulder!!. At 14:50 minutes you can see it best but also at 8:40 and other times.
Another Great video Mr. Roland! Your videos and tips have helped me tremendously!
Remember that most of videos he is fishing either a private lake that is full of fish or the Everglades in spots he knows there are fish from years of experience. Of course, you still have to catch the fish!! Thanks Roland.
Nice job sir. You're the man. I wish I was 1% as good as you.
🙂
Good stuff Roland! Maybe I can learn something from this 😄
I have the same gift I can go to any pond or body of water and catch the big ones
Good stuff Roland! 🎣 👊🏼💯🇺🇸
Thanks for the tips my friend!
😄😄😄😄, i think u forgot to put on your Glasses 👍.
Great video, U always shock me how u land so many.
The spider on his right shoulder around @6:20 😮😅
Thanks for doing this video Mr. Martin!
That bug on your shirt is giving me anxiety 😂
Could you explain the retrieve please Roland
Is that a spider on Uncle Roland's shirt 👕 🤔 at 5:54? hope he got it out his sleeve 🙏 😬
I love u Roland Martin. U rock.
Have to give time for the scuba divers to find and attach the fish to the line. 😄
it seems that way lol
U know Relax, I do study his videos and hate to say alot of them are fake ✌
It couldn't possibly be that he's just that good? 🤷♂️
Fishing in private ponds doesn't make it fake. It just makes it easier to catch fish in.
I pray there's a setup featuring a roland martin favorite custom rod in my near future.
I met you in Vegas, well checked your temperature for the amateur bass tournament!
That must be Jimmy Houstons' pond. Straight up loaded with big fish!
Love the video!! I'm going to do more of this too.
Man's a wizard. He just stands on the bank and the fish practically leap out of the water and attack him. Unbelievable
Caught 6 bass on the 297 today. Easily my favorite lure of all time.
Thanks Roland

Caught 2 297 green pumpkin bass today!
Good job🤙🤙🤙
Roland.. can you give us some tips on how you can spot a channel?
"Itsa nuther 3,4,5 pounder!!!"
I wonder how many senko videos this dude can make lol I swear 40% of his videos are about senkos or devil horses
Personally, for me, I'm absolutely obsessed with senkos because they work so well, so I'm totally fine with it.
Don’t mind Brad! He’s Jimmy’s grandson and Pop Pop never got along with Roland! 🤣🤣
You need your vest on them ponds Roland
Hi Roland. What's the make/model of the little boat you used in the everglades that you said was only $1000.?
I think the spot he's fishing is prior to his video with underwater fencing to keep them there!
"is stocked"
Hey Roland. How do you feel about live nightcrawlers? When, where, and how do you use them?
Slaying them
Why is this not what it's like when I go?
This is probably a private pond that's been stocked and completely unpressured
I'm sure that the pond is stocked and the spot was well scouted in advance of the camera being turned on.
Roland how did you infiltrate one of Bill Dances' lakes???
anyone note that he said he had polarized glasses and thats how he saw a fish but he didn’t wear them on his face at all 😳😳😳
Truth, O ya, I commented on that.
He meant polarized eyes 😂
that's a big ol' 4 or 5 pounder
There was a spider on Roland 5:53.
At about 5:50 a big spider crawls out of his shirt onto his shoulder...didn't hear a word after that....
Come the ponds and lakes in Wisconsin and catch fish like that
Man I bet if I was in that exact same spot I would have only caught 1 one pounder lol.
Roland, when would you use straight braid or braid to fluoro leader? As opposed to mono?
Any tips for fishing in Mobile Bay, Alabama?
I catch and release every bass i catch i really only like saltwater fish and a couple crappie and bluegill a year
Do u use a bobber stopper on that weight for the senko?
