You know you're a pro when you catch a 7.36 lb bass and it doesn't make you giddy with excitement. If I caught one that size, I would look like a little kid on Christmas Day getting the toy he always wanted. lol
That is because he knows how to dead stick his lures and most of us ammeters are not patient enough for that... If you move you lure it wil catch little bass, if you just dead stick your lure it wil catch bigger fish... Same lure, same lake, same everything else... It is the dead sticking that makes the difference
Private lakes are hardly fished. Not saying it’s easy by any means but those fish are aggressive. I fish a private lake and slay them. Then go to public lakes and you have to work a little harder for them.
Florida fishing bro that place is the best that's why he lives there lol. A bad day would be a 4 pounder he just close to double digit bass 3 occasions
Roland you always do a great job of explaining the rod size and the line your using. You also explain in detail how you are using the bait etc. it’s a real help.
Yes he is a great teacher/Instructor. Not just the info but his excitement and love for fishing. I found myself watching his videos and I realize I'm sitting there with a big ole grin. Lol
As a boy, I watched all the fishing shows. Roland Martin, Jimmy Houston, Hank Parker, Bill Dance,,,,,all of them. Then when they had the first of the two BMC’s on the Red River in Shreveport, at the convention/trade show, after all those years of watching these guys on TV, all of a sudden there they all were in person and I felt like a had just seen the President! And by this time I was a grown man and still giddy about seeing all these men in person that I watched for so many years!
My father and myself watched you early on, you are an inspiration... And you raised a wonderful son with integrity and honor.He helped me get through the death of my wife and when I was sick..I sub to both of you. Thank you so much food Bless
Roland and the other two of the 3legends still do it best. I watch Roland and it's almost better than actually going fishing. Education is usually expensive but how much I've learned from Roland, Jimmy and Bill is priceless.
It’s so nice to watch some regular fishing without all of the screaming and “let’s go” every 5 seconds like lots of newer content. This reminds me of the old school fishing shows on tv.
Hey Roland. I wanna say thanks for your show. I’ve followed you in tournaments on tv back in the 80’s- today. I live in the desert of west Texas. Plains to be exact. I have to travel a couple of hours in any direction to go fishing so watching u was the closest thing I had to b at the lake. Haha. Anyways thank you for what you do and I just wanted to give you my support.
Roland, I've watched your shows for 40-some odd years and have always learned things from you. But the thing I like the best is watching someone do something they absolutely LOVE to do! No one, and I mean NO ONE, could EVER say Roland Martin phoned it in!
That was a good time Mr. Martin. Thank you for sharing it with us. Reading the comments posted here, I think it is possible that you ONLY attract good souls. That says a ton about your character.
I absolutely love these videos. My son is 13. I just got him hooked on base fishing and we watch these all the time for tips. Lol we are only fishing from a 100 dollar canoe but we love it just the same. Thank you for these. They have helped us out a few nice fish in the boat for sure.
Son! Thank you for all the decades you have entertained and educated me. It blows my mind that your energy and passion is the same as when I watched you 30 years ago. You inspire me Roland. God bless.
Top two you tube bass fishing channels hands down Roland and Scott Martin. Both great fisherman, great teachers , and keep you entertained. I always thank Brandon and Tyler for their great edits also. Great jig fishing video Roland!
Such a class act and legend! Watched you with my dad when I was a kid now he’s passed on and I’m watching you with my son now! Keep em coming Roland wish you the best!
He’s not kidding about line watching. The first jig bass I ever caught...it was sinking to the bottom under this dock when all of the sudden, the line started moving out to the side at a pretty quick pace. I’d figured that either physics was broken and we were all about to float off the planet or a bass had picked it up. Turned out it was the latter *BAM* and in the boat he comes. Line watching is two things...nice and easy...super effective.
When my friends were swooning over The New Kids on the Block, I just wanted to fish with Roland and Bill, and still do! Lol. I'd love to have them on my radio podcast! 😍🎣💓
Hey Roland I just want you to know your sons videos have gotten me interested in bass fishing and have introduced me to allot of great RUclips fishing videos. Caught my first bass today since I was a child using tricks I've learned from people such as yourself and Scott! Thanks for the great help in getting me on my way to becoming a bass fisherman. Hopefully I can pass it down to my 3 kids
Got my first bass of the year poppin a jig last week 👍 To anyone who’s hesitant to get into jigs, just go for it. I spent the first 25 years of my fishing life saying “meh, jigs are too much...a texas rig will do the trick”. Then, last summer, I’d had it and decided I was going to use ONLY a jig for one day just to figure them out. I stuck one under the FIRST DOCK I hit, first cast...tossed it as far back as i could, let it sink, the line started moving to the side at a pretty frantic pace and blammo. You couldn’t write a more ridiculous outcome. I then realized I had wasted over 2 decades ignoring jigs. A year later, the jig is in my top 3 “confidence baits”. You just gotta go for it sometimes...
Roland, I'm so happy to see you making videos. Very educational. I love fishing and have always loved catching bass but I consider myself still pretty new. I have been watching Scott's videos for some time now for the tips and tricks. Now I have another great resource. Thank you!!
Mr martin i really appreciate the knowledge that you and your son Scott shares with us, the average angler. Thank you sir from us in west central Alabama.
Rod/reel combo with fishing kit as an emergency setup ruclips.net/user/postUgkxntWMOZsO1Zfv-pdn_XuffEtNkTYAYu4Z recommend but started to use this every day. The rod is thick and seems durable. I keep it neatly tucked into a regular backpack all the time with my fishing gear, and can grab it anytime, put it on my back and go anywhere. I just read in another review that the rod length below the reel is adjustable as well, so I will try that too for even more portability. Probably the best setup I've ever owned. I lost the cap for the eyelets, but no big deal since I still have the black cloth sheath that came for the pole and I use that. Very portable and high quality.
Mr. Roland just want to tell you I have been a big supporter of you since I was a youngan. I think your channel will take off, very educational and it’s one on one with a Bass fishing legend. Awesome stuff.
Roland my fishing game has stepped up 3 notches since subscribing. All my buddies want to know where am I getting all this knowledge, I tell them about your channel. Thanks for giving back I appreciate it buddy
Roland, I can't wait for all this nasty winter weather to finally clear out so I can fish in short sleeves and use some of these tips. Thanks for a great video showing us exactly where to put the bait.
Roland I hope you know how many young kids you have turned to fishermen over the years. Watching you on tv when I was growing up made me want to get out and fish for big bass! Now your son Scott is doing the same thing, growing the sport of fishing.
Mr Martin sir that's not a little pond where I'm from that's a full blown lake Haha man does watching these videos take me back to the good ole days though
Hey Roland please list the products you use in the description so I can buy them. The plastic and the Jig, youre the best. God bless your son and your family. Thank you!
Hey, a new Roland Martin video posted on my 57th birthday. ( even though I'm a day late watching it.....lol ) During these prime cooler months here in Florida, Roland is right, it's hard to beat a quality made black & blue jig w/craw trailer. The big Florida bass really do love jigs ( and other soft plastic rigs used for flipping & pitching ) in the classic "black & blue" color, for some reason. Other colors work too, but I swear, I almost always catch my biggest Florida bass on black & blue. He's also right in saying: "Ya may not catch the numbers of bass vs a plastic worm or senko.........but they are usually bigger bass". I agree 100%. I also love the Gambler trailers on my jigs, such as the Gambler Mega Daddy Craw in june bug color on my black & blue jigs. I pinch off about 3/4" off the bait before threading it on my jig hook. Those "flapper/claws" on the Gambler Mega Daddy really flutter & come to life in the water, and I've also noticed that ALL the bass........even the little ones.........will hold that jig w/Gambler trailer and swim away with it. They love the taste & scent used in the Gambler soft plastics. They do NOT "spit it out". The bass will hold a heavy 1/2 oz jig w/Gambler trailer longer than any other lure I've ever fished.
I love Roland Martin , I’m 77 years young , I’ve followed you from beginning .
You know you're a pro when you catch a 7.36 lb bass and it doesn't make you giddy with excitement. If I caught one that size, I would look like a little kid on Christmas Day getting the toy he always wanted. lol
🤸🏻♂️🤸🏻♂️🤸🏻♂️
I prolly have to wash my underwear out in the lake water before returning home....then have sex with my wife....😎
that's what I was thinking
Facts. I just caught a 10.12 and I couldn’t stop laughing and smiling. I felt like a little kid
Because down south they get so big and grow faster and larger down south.. it's always warm .
Roland goes fishing.. in a few hours he catches more big bass than I have in my life lol.
That is because he knows how to dead stick his lures and most of us ammeters are not patient enough for that... If you move you lure it wil catch little bass, if you just dead stick your lure it wil catch bigger fish... Same lure, same lake, same everything else... It is the dead sticking that makes the difference

Florida fishing bro that place is the best that's why he lives there lol. A bad day would be a 4 pounder he just close to double digit bass 3 occasions
Yeah right on the drop bam lol
yeah because he gets to go fishing in places with no fishing pressure and monster lunkers lurking about that have never seen a lure before
Roland you always do a great job of explaining the rod size and the line your using. You also explain in detail how you are using the bait etc. it’s a real help.
Yes he is a great teacher/Instructor. Not just the info but his excitement and love for fishing. I found myself watching his videos and I realize I'm sitting there with a big ole grin. Lol
That's a Bass. That's a Bass and a 1/2. That's a Bass and 3/4. That's a Bass son. That's what it's all about. Roland is the man.
As a boy, I watched all the fishing shows. Roland Martin, Jimmy Houston, Hank Parker, Bill Dance,,,,,all of them.

The man who started it all... You, Jimmy, Bill will always be what made me and the rest of the U.S consumed with L.M.B.
been watching your videos since i has 6 months old. im 137 and still enjoying them!
Even though we are both older now, watching you fishing makes my heart feel young. Thanks Roland.
RUclips's algorithm has picked you up and you're growing fast way to go Roland Martin! Your trending now!
Cartoons and fishing on espn = childhood saturday mornings
Back when things made sense. Good times
Tnn outdoors bassmasters etc good days
T Lee that’s what’s up!! I remember the exact same..
Solo Brann I am with you Brorher!!
y'all watch Bill Dance? haha
Congrats on making it on the trending page. Gonna be a lot of new guys coming here.
Ditto! That’s a bass son!
Love watching you fish. I'm 47 been watching since i was little.. Awesome to see your still going strong.
Roland and the other two of the 3legends still do it best. I watch Roland and it's almost better than actually going fishing. Education is usually expensive but how much I've learned from Roland, Jimmy and Bill is priceless.

Line watcher. Me too. Freelining live shrimp under lights, tossing a senko, or bottom fishing-that line bounce is oh so satisfying!
Your book, 101 BASS CATCHING SECRETS, is my all time favorite. What worked 30 years ago still works today.
His son caught a 13 pound one 2016 I believe saw it on u tube huge massive bass
Everything I know about bass fishing I learned by watching your show. Thank you.
YouTubin it son!!! Grew up watching the great American fisherman! You are a living legend!!!
I wish my dad was still a live to watch you... we use to watch you all the time when was a kid .. Simply awsome with the best fishing tips..
Top two you tube bass fishing channels hands down Roland and Scott Martin. Both great fisherman, great teachers , and keep you entertained. I always thank Brandon and Tyler for their great edits also. Great jig fishing video Roland!
Your the master. I’m 77 watched you for years used all you techniques and caught a lot of bass and big bass - stay well
I love how you still get excited after all the years of fishing! Thanks for making these videos!
5569tk never know what your gunna pull out it never gets boring
You remind me a lot of my father before he passed away so I really enjoy watching your videos, happy I discovered your channel!
"Ive been watching him since i was 6 years old,im now almost 41 and he's still the man"
I’ve never seen my dad fish ever but if he did this is how he’d do it. Roland is down to earth and keeps things simple!
Still have a sunglasses from the seventies with your name on it
Never to late to learn something new that sharpie on the line is good thinking. The little details makes a difference. Keep them coming!!!!
I like the shot out of ole Roland most guys ramble and say the same thing over and over but I could watch him all day lol
“That’s a bass and 3/4s” my new favorite fishing phrase!
Such a class act and legend! Watched you with my dad when I was a kid now he’s passed on and I’m watching you with my son now! Keep em coming Roland wish you the best!
Met Roland and Shoe string at Bass Pro in Springfield ,Missouri about 25 years ago . Nice guy with good advice .
Roland your a living legend. Always fun to watch you catch the big one's. Tight lines!
You are having a ball posting these videos, and were learning taking our fishing skills to a level not possible without them! Thank you Mr. Martin!

Dude you have taught me a lot sir. You’re the master of the grasshopper.
Why is it everytime that Roland says I AM A LINE WATCHER,,,he turns to the cam and proclaims it,,WHILE NOT WATCHING!!!LOL!!! He is a trip!
This is my first time watching your instructional videos, and I am learning alot. Thanks.
Sunday morning, a cup of coffee and a Roland Martin fishing video. Life is good.
Got my first bass of the year poppin a jig last week 👍

Love your excitement for fishing big or small bass, and your excitement for teaching. Your tips will help me in my journey. Thank you
Thanks Roland. Your enthusiasm is infectious.
Roland, I'm so happy to see you making videos. Very educational. I love fishing and have always loved catching bass but I consider myself still pretty new. I have been watching Scott's videos for some time now for the tips and tricks. Now I have another great resource. Thank you!!
Going to fish Gary Yamamotos Ranch soon. These tips will really come in handy! Great videos Roland keep ‘em coming
The biggest thing I'm learning from this channel has less is more don't overthink it and I got to say Roland you know how to catch them
Mr martin i really appreciate the knowledge that you and your son Scott shares with us, the average angler. Thank you sir from us in west central Alabama.
Always like watching a the master smash them Bass..keep it up Roland...

You make it look easy Mr. Martin!
Thanks Roland and thank you to Scott! I watch all of your videos and listen to all your advice.🎣
WOW thats was a nice Big Bass!! Good job Roland!
You love to teach and it shows , great video;;;;;;;
The one bright spot so far for me in 2020 is finding out Roland Martin has a youtube channel
Well done, Roland. Can't beat a jig bite! Aside from topwater, it's the BEST BITE there IS!
I love how you throw a 5 pounder back like it’s nothing 😂
Mr. Roland just want to tell you I have been a big supporter of you since I was a youngan. I think your channel will take off, very educational and it’s one on one with a Bass fishing legend. Awesome stuff.

Great video Roland, and even better tips. I love learning, and admittedly jig fishing is where my weakness is at. This video will help, so thank you!!
I caught my first bass of the year the other day, while Roland catches a bass every other cast. 😎👍🏽🎣🤷🏽♂️ sweet!
Roland, I can't wait for all this nasty winter weather to finally clear out so I can fish in short sleeves and use some of these tips. Thanks for a great video showing us exactly where to put the bait.
You da man Rolland! I grew up watching you on TV! Scott's awesome too!
Great video! I love watching the legend at work. You will always be the best in my book. Keep making the videos please. Thank you.
Just found your channel. Great videos Roland. Keep em coming. All the best, Eivind B. Norway.
Loved this vid! Thank you. You've been my fishing hero since...well a long time ago.
Roland you and Richard gene the fishing machine are the 2 best on youtube for fishing
THE MAN- thank you! I think it was that fish he knocked cross-eyed at 10:24 and her family that gave the 33 thumbs down. Great teacher!
Roland I hope you know how many young kids you have turned to fishermen over the years. Watching you on tv when I was growing up made me want to get out and fish for big bass! Now your son Scott is doing the same thing, growing the sport of fishing.
That was awesome. What a great day on the water !!!!
Love it... Fan of yours since the 80's..
This place is awesome Congratulations, *beautiful* video. hug!👍🎣🐠🐟
Great man. It's amazing how he catches those Bass with such ease.
How does this man not have more subscribers?
Always fun watching the master smash em! Keep em coming !
Thanks for teaching me how to jig! I love Roland Martin Outdoors!
Good to see some big bass caught on a jig I was beginning to think no one used them anymore.
Is be happy just catching a 3 pounder at this point lol. Been watching you fish sense I was old enough to know what fishing was!! Love it!!!
Mr Martin sir that's not a little pond where I'm from that's a full blown lake Haha man does watching these videos take me back to the good ole days though
Learn something every time I watch your videos. Thank you sir.
Keep 'em coming, Roland. Good tips and action.
Roland is real BassPro of all time!!
U are the Daddy Roland thanks for making these!!!
Roland
Any day you can catch that size bass is a great day and consistently.
Stay well
Hal
I absolutely love your videos. I have been learning so much.
tight lines
Love watchin ya Roland. Have learned a lot about how to get em and what tools to use! Thank you sir!!
Legend. Glad to see he is still killing it!
What I've noticed on this video is, the clear skies. Blue bird skies are fisherman's nightmare but, Roland is yanking them like crazy
Hey Roland please list the products you use in the description so I can buy them. The plastic and the Jig, youre the best. God bless your son and your family. Thank you!
Thanks for your informative videos! I do appreciate the time you put into these vids. Keep the camera rollin.....
Thanks Roland! Been following you since the eighties, great channel - keep up the great work Son! :)
Hey, a new Roland Martin video posted on my 57th birthday.

I also love the Gambler trailers on my jigs, such as the Gambler Mega Daddy Craw in june bug color on my black & blue jigs. I pinch off about 3/4" off the bait before threading it on my jig hook. Those "flapper/claws" on the Gambler Mega Daddy really flutter & come to life in the water, and I've also noticed that ALL the bass........even the little ones.........will hold that jig w/Gambler trailer and swim away with it. They love the taste & scent used in the Gambler soft plastics. They do NOT "spit it out". The bass will hold a heavy 1/2 oz jig w/Gambler trailer longer than any other lure I've ever fished.
Great comments
I’m not a great jig fishermen or fisherman . Thanks for the tips Mr.Martin.
