Love the fact that you will sit down and break down your mistakes with us. Most folks only show what they did right. You are helping soo many up and comers and old timers like me improve their fishing ... Fun fishing or otherwise. Thanks man!!
I’ve watched and followed all the elite tournaments this year and I’ve seen how much you have progressed. Keep learning from every tournament and you will have 2 trophies. A blue one and a classic one!!!!!
SMC IS THE GOAT!!! I do enjoy watching every travel VLOG, practice video, 20/20 and tournament video for each tournament. This channel is 2nd to none when it comes to content and editing. McCoy you’re knocking it out of the park bud. I can’t wait for the next travel VLOG to begin each month or whatever. I will say it tic’s me off that there is hardly ever a camera in the boat with you Scott. Because I watch everyday of the tournament on computer and I want to see what’s happening with you during the day. It’s like they think “Scott and his crew can cover his whole tourney himself better than we ever could. So, will put a camera in the 47th place anglers boat instead”. Makes no sense to me. You will make the Classic Scott. There’s no doubt in my mind you will be there. You got this bud. LETS GO SM!!!
I would just like to thank you Scott for these break downs ive had a hard start to my tournament season and its nice and refreshing to hear someone else reflect on lessons learned so when i walk away i can come away with knowledge and how to break down a day to improve myself as an angler and a sportsman!
Hey Scott thanx so much for your commitment to helping us understand what it takes to be successful in these tournaments I hope I have the opportunity to get there some day
Hey Scott I love the 20 20 video wrap ups. Wish you would also show a lake map,and show where you fished and where the leaders fished ,to just give us a perspective..keep your head up,Can't wait to see you in the classic
Scott ...awesome video man keep em coming, you have always been someone I look up to and the person that got me started fishing when I was just 8 years old I have great respect for you and what you do for you and your family
Scott, you attack each tournament like it’s a battle to be won (which it is!) it’s so obvious you have the instinct of a warrior and you “Never Give Up.” Your mission to complete some Unfinished Family Business is just around the corner and you’ll one day before you know it be etching your families legacy into the record books. The videos are amazing!! 👍🏻👏🏻🙏🏻🎣🐟😎🏆
I love that lake. Your videos are great. I learn so much. Thank you so much. You did great. I am impressed cause I fish that lake and catch half that in a year. So keep on going. God bless
I enjoy watching you break down what you did wright n wrong..and yes it make sense..but for me if i may have and addvise for you..its to not fall for safeplay too much..and find back the adventurer in you..n dare more just like in the back days and more important have fun n let go the pressure..n the stress..for what i saw from the time i folow you..you do better when you are enjoying doing it..but over all never loose the patience and determination u always have..as you are the best.. Sorry if i said anything wrong..i am not in the US n i dont reallly know how it roll in real elxcept fom media..here in Mauritius we have only 2 seasons ,summer n winter..so i may be wrong.. I am sure you will beat the jinx n reach to your goal..as you are n will always be a winner..
I just got off that lake for 4 days and I fished it like I was in the tour and I though threw my whole tackle at it and basically came out with a total of 5lb. I feel embarrassed because I know I can catch em up just when I get on the G.O.A.T lake I can't. So I respect the pro!! Keep up the good work.. love the content 👌
You know what Scott you gave it your all you can always do it next year and just keep plugging away you have a lot of supporters that love you and believe in you.🙏🏼🎣🎣✌🏼
I was always told never leave fish to find fish. When you lost the giant and then moved I was screaming at you and just knew that this would be your 20/20 topic. Still a good tournament Scott. Keep on grinding! You are gonna make the top 10 this week!!!
If ya have a Garmin's live scope on your troll motor check out fishing specialties poles be able to see from both sides of the boat just by moving the pole side to side
Getting better every tournament! On a side note, my one and only Favorite rod broke yesterday pulling a half pound bass through a thick Matt of grass and weeds. I only had 10lb test mono on, you would think the line would have broken before the rod.
break out the lucky blessed fish flops. I feel a big win at your next stop. (McCoy need a new intro jam this one gonna be big)!! Y'all guna drop the hammer!! Keep on keeping on!!
Tunnel vision sometimes can hurt you in bass fishing. I know throwing the bandito bug and sight-fishing is what your good at Scott but sometimes picking up a square bill and running it next to the beds should be fun.
Congrats Scott. Keep up the great work. I have one question though how come you don't try like a number 11 rapala or something like that when a fish is on the bed?
Big fan!!! Was pulling for you at Fork. I’m originally from east Texas (Woodville)...Rayburn, TB, Travis, Steinhagen reservoir (we just called it dam B) and many others were where I learned to fish. Fork wasn’t around when I lived there. I’m in VA now and trying to figure out the Potomac. Are you headed to VA any time soon? Saw a video recently of your dad and Ken Pernod fishing Mattawoman creek. I fished there just this morning, caught a few 4 x 2-3# and one that hit 4.2. Missed a snakehead, a species I really want to catch and see how they taste.
Neely Henry is where I grew up fishing. There are some MONSTER cats around that dam! Good luck Scott. I live on the coast now but may go visit family and drop by.
It was awesome watching you Scott wish you would have gotten some of those big ones that you lost during the tournament but maybe next time good luck at Neely Henry I'll be watching
When those fish came off I can’t believe you don’t swear wow ! I would sound like a dice clay for an hour after your a better man then I me. Keep up the great videos !!!
Wait what lesson? Come on Scott. Your last video you said you broke the curse. All good Scotty! Still live your content amigo I say your quotes like “Billy caught a Bass!” Even your dad mister Martin “ hello you tubers”. I love all of it. Keep doing what your doing bud. Because of you i started my own channel.
Gotta get Lee on if yall are friends...he's got some good personality!! I've really gotten to like my fellow Texan ever since you've been back on the BASS scene.
Appreciate all the effort and depth y'all put into this. But gotta say....the zooming in and out every 20 seconds and breaking after every sentence messes with my vertigo. Go get 'em in Nelly Henry!
Hey Scott Martin. My unit and I are supposed to be going TDY to Patrick AFB in July and we are looking to possibly do a day charter for deep see fishing. It's my last tdy before I retire. Any recommendations? I could have sworn you had a charter boat. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
Was this lake a clear water lake I guess that’s why Lee was casting look like a mile long lol I am not sure awesome video all the info Scott you are awesome bro I will try to go to the tournament in June Texas Fort Worth see y’all guys there BAM lol 😂
Scott I noticed since you left Okuma you have been using Shimano reels. Which models do you prefer for tournament fishing in the Shimano lineup? Keep up the great work with the videos!
I always hat d sight fishing...for bass....saltwater...yes! But i remember tournaments won back in the early90s on main lake points and along wooded creek beds....i am sure much has changed... In am a geezer, of course. 🙄
You say your strength is sight fishing. But you won here in kentucky on Cumberland a few years ago. I live in kentucky and have a passion for bass fishing and have never fished there. The depth of the lake keeps me from going. If you could give someone a tip for fishing Cumberland what would it be? Thanks
Lol. Write it in a journal or at least record yourself. I try to do it also to remember what worked or doesn’t. Also I’m getting older. Harder to remember everything lol.
Try doing the 20/20 after day 2. Talk out what is going right and what is not working. Don't internalize what's working and not working. Do a mock 20/20.
Those big fish on fork move up first so i think u just missed them an they were post! The points throwing some top water early morning is deadly on fork that time a year an big swim baits later on in the day! anyway still great job!
Hey Scott how come you didn't keep chuckin that swimbait out there around those dead trees coming out of the water and find more like that? You had some BIG meat hittin that swimbait out there and it looked like you only hit that main tree and the one to the right of it but there were other trees out there. Did you fish those ones too? You called it and knew sight fishing wasn't gonna win the tourney but you kept going back to it.
When your fishing for fun can you do a basic setup video on panoptics.. I just bought one and am struggling setting it up. Granite im colorblind so that might have something to do with it but could you just do basic fyi class on it PPPPLLLLLZZZZZZZ????
Scott has reached the point to where he doesn’t even make a single cast and we still watch the video, that’s when you know you’ve made it in the RUclips world
For me, information is more important than simply watching someone do the same thing they have done literally a million times. Explaining to my ignorant self might manage to get some info into my head. Not to mention when someone explains something to me, I MIGHT (probably not) be able to use it in a similar situation. Doing great Scott, keep at it.
I don't watch Scott's channel just to see someone standing on deck casting , casting , casting , casting and more casting. If I did there wouldn't be a channel that I would watch. Hell the coolest stuff isn't even the fishing. The fishing is a bonus.
I think you might have to put some quarters in a jar . It sure sounded like you said “ it was a F#%!!! Giant” and that’s ok by me I promise I could not even get close to holding the composure you do . Every thing you do is 💯 professional a true role model . I just had to give you a hard time . Great job to your hole crew on this one keep it up guys .
Lisen I know you won’t see this but if you do I just want to let you know me and my dad are really big fans my dad has been watching you for like 3 many 4 years now and I have for a couple of moths but what I am trusting to say is I know it may be you just hitting the little heart on my commit but I am still shacking and I called my dad and told him
I could possibly win but never do ! Then the could of but didn't do video ! Scott go back to the hunger phase and stop the thinking that the promoters are gonna get you a win ! Back to basics !
Love the fact that you will sit down and break down your mistakes with us. Most folks only show what they did right. You are helping soo many up and comers and old timers like me improve their fishing ... Fun fishing or otherwise. Thanks man!!
You can’t improve without acknowledging your mistakes! Thanks Mike!
I’ve watched and followed all the elite tournaments this year and I’ve seen how much you have progressed. Keep learning from every tournament and you will have 2 trophies. A blue one and a classic one!!!!!
Sight fishing was awesome. You never gave up.....huge props my brother.
SMC IS THE GOAT!!!

Thanks Brock! The teams works hard on the tournaments!
You're on the path you need to be and with your dedication that W is right around the corner brother!!!! Keep killin it!
Hey Scott I love the 20 20 video wrap ups. Wish you would also show a lake map,and show where you fished and where the leaders fished ,to just give us a perspective..keep your head up,Can't wait to see you in the classic

Great video Scott, I like the info and your honest self assessment. The amount of weight to win on that lake is insane.
Good stuff! Your lessons learned become ours! So thank you and rooting for you!!
Lee- "CATCHING MEAT BABY!" 😂
Love this series. I'm going to do more of this too.
hi Scott from Australia. keep casting mate the final day is just round the corner.
Scott, you attack each tournament like it’s a battle to be won (which it is!) it’s so obvious you have the instinct of a warrior and you “Never Give Up.” Your mission to complete some Unfinished Family Business is just around the corner and you’ll one day before you know it be etching your families legacy into the record books.

Thanks Tyler! I appreciate your support as well!
I love that lake. Your videos are great. I learn so much. Thank you so much. You did great. I am impressed cause I fish that lake and catch half that in a year. So keep on going. God bless
I’m glad you take something away from these videos, John!
I enjoy watching you break down what you did wright n wrong..and yes it make sense..but for me if i may have and addvise for you..its to not fall for safeplay too much..and find back the adventurer in you..n dare more just like in the back days and more important have fun n let go the pressure..n the stress..for what i saw from the time i folow you..you do better when you are enjoying doing it..but over all never loose the patience and determination u always have..as you are the best..
Sorry if i said anything wrong..i am not in the US n i dont reallly know how it roll in real elxcept fom media..here in Mauritius we have only 2 seasons ,summer n winter..so i may be wrong..
I am sure you will beat the jinx n reach to your goal..as you are n will always be a winner..
Great job scott..win or lose we enjoy the valuble info you provide from the tournament ... pulling for you ✌
This series was amazing!!!
I agree with this, 100%
Love the break downs Scott! The content you are putting out is amazing!
Thanks! You have an awesome name, Scott 👊🏼🔥
I just got off that lake for 4 days and I fished it like I was in the tour and I though threw my whole tackle at it and basically came out with a total of 5lb. I feel embarrassed because I know I can catch em up just when I get on the G.O.A.T lake I can't. So I respect the pro!! Keep up the good work.. love the content 👌
You know what Scott you gave it your all you can always do it next year and just keep plugging away you have a lot of supporters that love you and believe in you.🙏🏼🎣🎣✌🏼
Thanks for the content. Great tournament Scott. Keep it up.
Great job love seeing your content and learning more in depth fishing! Learning alot from all your videos
Love the videos. You have inspired me to go fishing I caught my pb on the bandito bug. It weighed about 13 pounds.
That’s a toad!
I was always told never leave fish to find fish. When you lost the giant and then moved I was screaming at you and just knew that this would be your 20/20 topic. Still a good tournament Scott. Keep on grinding! You are gonna make the top 10 this week!!!
If ya have a Garmin's live scope on your troll motor check out fishing specialties poles be able to see from both sides of the boat just by moving the pole side to side
Scott the best thing about videos like this, it’s prep for next year.
Getting better every tournament!
On a side note, my one and only Favorite rod broke yesterday pulling a half pound bass through a thick Matt of grass and weeds. I only had 10lb test mono on, you would think the line would have broken before the rod.
Like the way you explain what happened. Great job.
we love ya and we appreciate getting to experience this stuff with you. Always rooting for you and B. Latt. Best 2 men in the league right now.
Popes landing has my heart
break out the lucky blessed fish flops. I feel a big win at your next stop. (McCoy need a new intro jam this one gonna be big)!! Y'all guna drop the hammer!! Keep on keeping on!!
Keep up the great work Scott. You’ll get there eventually. Love the videos!
Tunnel vision sometimes can hurt you in bass fishing. I know throwing the bandito bug and sight-fishing is what your good at Scott but sometimes picking up a square bill and running it next to the beds should be fun.
Love your content. Best RUclips fishing channel bar none.
Honored to hear that!
Hey Scott I would love to see a video we’re you show all your reels and your rods for tournaments. Good luck and hope you win the bassmaster classic
Good luck next time Scott. You'll get it done. It will be fun to see that video, and afterwards hear you talking to your dad.
Congrats Scott. Keep up the great work. I have one question though how come you don't try like a number 11 rapala or something like that when a fish is on the bed?
Big fan!!! Was pulling for you at Fork. I’m originally from east Texas (Woodville)...Rayburn, TB, Travis, Steinhagen reservoir (we just called it dam B) and many others were where I learned to fish.

Thanks Ryan!
Neely Henry is where I grew up fishing. There are some MONSTER cats around that dam! Good luck Scott. I live on the coast now but may go visit family and drop by.
Awesome job, love watching no madder what happens!
Hey Scott good info man! You will do good on Neely Henry! On my fantasy team too!! Looking forward to the travel video.
You've been playing it safe Mr. Martin , fortune favors the brave .
Keep trowing those baits Scott you are bound to win one....I am rooting for you!!
Dude I love the rabbits....soooooooo interesting..Scott your videos are the best period !!!!

It was awesome watching you Scott wish you would have gotten some of those big ones that you lost during the tournament but maybe next time good luck at Neely Henry I'll be watching

God bless 🙏
Love watching these , I learn so much
Yellow scott try it sometime and awesome video your the elite of elite
Great job Scott!
In your last video you clipped the gills of one of the fish. What did you pour in to help stop the bleeding and/or give it oxygen?
Yes inquiring minds want to know
Wait what lesson? Come on Scott. Your last video you said you broke the curse.
All good Scotty! Still live your content amigo I say your quotes like “Billy caught a Bass!” Even your dad mister Martin “ hello you tubers”. I love all of it. Keep doing what your doing bud. Because of you i started my own channel.
Gotta get Lee on if yall are friends...he's got some good personality!! I've really gotten to like my fellow Texan ever since you've been back on the BASS scene.
Hey Scott I’m a huge fan and I love your vids keep up the work
I thought you would have nailed it on this lake. Well maybe next time Scottie. Your still a bad ass Pro fishermen.
I love the breakdowns
Lake fork is so good 🐐
Appreciate all the effort and depth y'all put into this. But gotta say....the zooming in and out every 20 seconds and breaking after every sentence messes with my vertigo. Go get 'em in Nelly Henry!
Scott, stay strong 💪 bud !
Hey Scott Martin. My unit and I are supposed to be going TDY to Patrick AFB in July and we are looking to possibly do a day charter for deep see fishing. It's my last tdy before I retire. Any recommendations? I could have sworn you had a charter boat. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
Great job nonetheless brother! These videos are what I really wait for... 👍
Thanks dude! Appreciate the support 👊🏼
Still proud of ya. This is what makes tournament fishing so much fun. If we whacked them every time like Roland did it wouldn’t be any fun 🤣
I'm pulling for u scott 100 percent
👊🏼👊🏼
Was this lake a clear water lake I guess that’s why Lee was casting look like a mile long lol I am not sure awesome video all the info Scott you are awesome bro I will try to go to the tournament in June Texas Fort Worth see y’all guys there BAM lol 😂
I love you Scott u are my mentor
One day can you break down the AOI points and how they work ? Like how many points is a win or a top 10 .is top 30 fishing the classic ?
Scott I noticed since you left Okuma you have been using Shimano reels. Which models do you prefer for tournament fishing in the Shimano lineup? Keep up the great work with the videos!
I mainly use the Shimano Metanium! I have a few Shimano Curados as well. As far as spinning goes, the Stradic is a beast 👊🏼
I always hat d sight fishing...for bass....saltwater...yes! But i remember tournaments won back in the early90s on main lake points and along wooded creek beds....i am sure much has changed... In am a geezer, of course. 🙄
You say your strength is sight fishing. But you won here in kentucky on Cumberland a few years ago. I live in kentucky and have a passion for bass fishing and have never fished there. The depth of the lake keeps me from going. If you could give someone a tip for fishing Cumberland what would it be? Thanks
I'm a weekend bank angler. I find myself giving these same monologues in the car on the way home after having struck out for the day.
Lol. Write it in a journal or at least record yourself. I try to do it also to remember what worked or doesn’t. Also I’m getting older. Harder to remember everything lol.
Cmon Scott get top ten in bass master elite! You got this!
Scott what did u put in fish that was bleeding mouth??? And u ever gonna tell me the name of the jam at end of video???
Im in Cali,and use castaic and huddleston baits. Have you ever used either of them?
Proud of you breaking the jinx and weighing in a limit!! Way to get your mojo back
Thanks Danny!
Try doing the 20/20 after day 2. Talk out what is going right and what is not working. Don't internalize what's working and not working. Do a mock 20/20.
Do you go back on 20/20 videos from last year of same lakes to get some "self-advise"??
Those big fish on fork move up first so i think u just missed them an they were post! The points throwing some top water early morning is deadly on fork that time a year an big swim baits later on in the day! anyway still great job!
You need a new skeg on your trolling motor! Good thing they just bolt on 😁
I do!
Scott I had the exact weight to the ounce on the travel day vlog
You did a video as whole back where you tried out Adm action camera that wasn't a gopro. What was the brand?
Hey Scott how come you didn't keep chuckin that swimbait out there around those dead trees coming out of the water and find more like that? You had some BIG meat hittin that swimbait out there and it looked like you only hit that main tree and the one to the right of it but there were other trees out there. Did you fish those ones too? You called it and knew sight fishing wasn't gonna win the tourney but you kept going back to it.
The trees at 12:05 btw.
When your fishing for fun can you do a basic setup video on panoptics.. I just bought one and am struggling setting it up. Granite im colorblind so that might have something to do with it but could you just do basic fyi class on it PPPPLLLLLZZZZZZZ????
Scott Martin needs to come to a fan meet at guntersville 🙏🏼
I’ll be hanging around weigh ins to meet you guys!
Everything is bigger in Texas unless it’s the Sabine River. 😂 I was born in Orange Texas. 🤠 Really enjoy your videos Scott! 👍
Scott has reached the point to where he doesn’t even make a single cast and we still watch the video, that’s when you know you’ve made it in the RUclips world
I appreciate you 👊🏼

Neely Henry Scott don’t forget about ten islands boat launch by the dam that whole area is STACKED.
I think you might have to put some quarters in a jar . It sure sounded like you said “ it was a F#%!!! Giant” and that’s ok by me I promise I could not even get close to holding the composure you do . Every thing you do is 💯 professional a true role model . I just had to give you a hard time . Great job to your hole crew on this one keep it up guys .
Bigger the bait, the bigger the catch! GO FOR IT! I’d still follow you if you didn’t catch a single fish!
Love your vids
Lisen I know you won’t see this but if you do I just want to let you know me and my dad are really big fans my dad has been watching you for like 3 many 4 years now and I have for a couple of moths but what I am trusting to say is I know it may be you just hitting the little heart on my commit but I am still shacking and I called my dad and told him
Scott I was wondering if changing the colors of the bait could change the bite.
It definitely could! So many variables when fishing!
Are you going to the Skeeter owner’s tournament on fork in July
Staying focused! Maybe spinnerworm for Alabama? 🤷♂️🤣
I could possibly win but never do ! Then the could of but didn't do video ! Scott go back to the hunger phase and stop the thinking that the promoters are gonna get you a win ! Back to basics !
Scott how do you rig that line through did you put a part of the hook in the bait or leave it out.
And BTW, give your boys a big 👍 for the quality of your video production!! They turn regular posts on IG into legit commercials! 🤣
