I'm 57 years old and it seems like I've watched Mr. Martin on TV all my life. My biological father is 90 years old and has never really been a dad as he ran out on our family when I was just 6 years old. I watch Mr. Martin and wonder what it would've been like to have him as a dad. Could you imagine the camping trips and fishing while growing up with Mr. Martin as a dad? Such a likable presence. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I've always been a fan.
I'm 64 and have been fishing almost 60 years and appreciate all of your fishing tips. Couldn't find your wealth of knowledge just anywhere. Glad you take the time to share.
I'm an old guy too. First met Roland at a fishing tackle show when I was a sporting goods buyer for a discount store chain in the late 70's. He knew all the new tricks and love to teach. Still enjoy his teaching.
He seems like one of the coolest guys on the planet. Somebody that I'd love to go fishing with, or just sit and listen to what he has to teach. I bet he's got some great stories to tell.
Finally one guy who knows about the quality of the uni-knot! Tying this knot to everything! Only exception: FG for braid to fluo-leader and then uni again from fluo to steel-leader.
Exactly lol then after the three stooges and Kung fu theater at noon..Sundays were the best..I remember getting my first B.A.S.S patch in the mail from watching these shows as a very young child. Fell in love with bass fishing and have been active ever since. Bill Dance and Roland Martin were my guys.
Roland we were at the Rio Negro lodge in brazil. you are very nice person. And treated everyone with respect. How’s the wife and manager? The owners father called me the piranha king. Because I caught over 100. You showed me how to make monkey paw knot. And a couple other things.If I had your number I’d like talking with you,to see if you have any knowledge of the people there.
Thanks, Roland! I'm 56 and I've been watching and learning from you since I was a kid. NO ONE has taught me more about fishing than you. I really appreciate how much value you give to those who watch you.
Put me down as well. I'll be 50 and always remember watching Roland, Orlando Wilson, Bill Dance, the Linders, Babe Winkleman, and can't forget about Hank Parker. Learned a ton of tips and tricks I tell you.
Im 52 and watched you as a kid fish on t.v. I follow your son Scott and your granddaughter Hilary and now I just subscribed to your channel Mr.Martin! Definitely a wealth of knowledge coming from you and your family! Hoping to pass down what I learn from your family to mine when it comes to fishing! Looking forward to all your videos!
I'm an old guy too Roland and have watched you for years. You are an old school fisherman, you remind me of my Father, he would tell me," I am going to show you how to do this" If you find a better faster way, please show me. " Until you do that do it the way I just showed you". I tried many times to do it faster or better. Every time I would end up doing it the way he had shown me. The end of this video reminded me of that lesson I had learned years ago. Thank you, Roland, maybe the younger guys will listen and learn from your knowledge. OG
Mr.martin..ive been watching you for a long time.i use to get my son to watch you on .t.v way back in the 1990s.. he just loved it and he got happy fishing because of your show.....thank you sir....my son has sense passed away but when I go fishing I fish for him..he loved fishing mostly because you taught him....you done the job that I couldn't...thank you Mr Martin.
Thanks Roland grew up watching you. Getting back into fishing after a long time break and use braided line. I was tying the old school knot we all grew up on and was losing lots if fish due to knot failure. I thought it was just me and I had to work on my knot tying skills. Know I know better.
oh my gosh! I used to watch your fishing show on TNN when I was a kid. You really are the reason that I got interested in fishing and I couldn't wait to grow up and get a fishing boat so I could be just like you. I'm still working on the boat part.. lol!
I would love to have a Beer with the legend himself... Nobody on this Universe could explain, share or teach the way with patience and determination for you to learn like Roland Martin... I grew up watching him on TV everytime he came on.... Cheers to Roland Martin...
When a man masters his profession, he recognizes that he will never quit learning and utilizing his experiences in new problem solving and if he can control his ego, he can relish in sharing his knowledge. Thanks Roland The old professor
You represent some of the best years of my life. Sunday late mornings in the 80s. I'm super stoked I found your RUclips channel. Lots of sore lips cuz of you 😉, Thank you Sir.
My life goal is to shake Mr. Roland Martins hand. My legend, mentor of his fishing career and amazing achievement's! He's really a genuine and all around best!! #1. Thank you, Roland!
This gentleman came to an outdoor show in Worcester, Mass some years back. USA Marine was the place. He gave an awesome seminar but you could tell something was off. I was told by a local pro that Mr. Martin had a hernia but didn't want to disappoint his fans. He went back to Florida and had it fixed. God Bless you and yours, Sir !
I like teaching people about what I love to do too. I have a lot of trouble learning. I feel have learned how teach because of it. Thanks for teaching me the Palomar knot. I used to use advanced clinch knot until today. Going to catch a monster tomorrow. You are a fantastic teacher. Thank you for being such a good teacher. You have inspired me.
I have enjoyed watching Roland Martin catch fish for as long as I can remember. He could always take lesser fishermen to school. Glad to see that we can get some schooling still. I'm an old guy too.
Wow the legend Roland Martin. Every sat morning as a kid I would rush to tv just to watch your show. I always wanted to meet you and get your autograph. Thank you for your professionalism in this great sport
Twenty years ago I used to glue myself to the tv on a Saturday morning for the big three: Roland Martin, the 'Great American fisherman', Orlando Wilson, and Bill Dance. Good to see Roland has embraced the new technology and is back to share his wisdom. I have to expand my repertoire past the palomar knot to the uni and loop!
This guy has forgotten more about fishing than I'll ever know. Thank you Roland! I remember watching his TV show back in the 70s. A National Treasure. Yo Roland...Son...Dude! We love you bro! Keep doing what ya doing.
I remember watching you, and Orlando Wilson with my dad growing up in the 80's. I still can pretty much recite the theme songs to both of those shows. My father was an avid fisherman, and pretty much gave me the bug and I am passing it along to my 9 year old son. Seeing these videos is almost like seeing an old friend again that you haven't seen in a long time. I really enjoy your insight, expertise, and your overall passion for fishing. I have to say we need more good ol' boys like you these days. Take care and I will see you around ol' friend. :)
Been around decades. He loves to teach and he still has the enthusiasm of a lil kid with a big fish on a cane pole. We all are better for what he conveys to the brother outdoorsman community. All the best.Cheers!
Roland, I'm an old guy too! (62), just started seriously fishing in the last couple of years in semi-retirement. Your videos have been so awesome in getting me up to speed, thanks! If you want to learn how to ski, come up here to NE, I'll teach you ;)
Roland knows his fishing stuff. Comes across as knowledgeable & imparts his knowledge in an easy listening style without any hype. When he talks old school, old school has not gone out of fashion. It works for me. Love ya Roland.
I always relied on a clinch knot w/ mono, mostly for trout fishing, but smallmouths have been introduced in my western state - now you talked me into new knots and braided line !
@a10warthog61 The video has less then 40,000 views and even less then that would care to read comments so Dale Skelton's comment is hardly put out there to millions of people. PS: I dont think anyone cares if you dont care either.
Thank you Roland! I love your videos, and have been a fan since I was a kid, (I'm 43 now, lol) I learned how to tie the Palomar knot watching your TV show many years ago and it's been my go to knot ever since.
Hey Mr. Martin! Awesome Video. You're a great Teacher. Been teaching me for years! Miss your TNN and CMT shows!! I go way back too! But you're still the BEST!!
Love ya, Roland. You're a legend and also a gentleman. I watch these young gun youtubers too but i fell in love with fishing watching Roland Martin on Espn as a kid. Cheers and best of luck.
I'm a 74 year old bass fisherman who learned something from you today ! Thanks for freely continuing to contribute your knowledge TO US, YOUR FANS ! Roland Martin TRULY IS " THE GREAT AMERICAN FISHERMAN".
When I was little kid, back in the early 80's, my uncles, cousins, and I would watch your show on TV every Sunday. I recently got back into fishing and it makes me so happy to see that you're not only still fishing, but that your keeping up with times and sharing your wisdom here on RUclips! I love you channels and your videos have helped me improve my fishing so much!. Thanks for doing what you do!!!
Man i’d love to take a day out on the water with roland. I remember watchin him slay bass on the weekends and then we would go float the powell river for smallies and redeye. A few hours would be a slice of heaven to me. Thanks for taking the time to share the info.
Love ya Mr. Martin my dad said you are one of the best fisherman on the planet and he watched you on tv growing up. Now it's my turn. And I think your really good teacher my dad taught me the Uni knot Albright improved fisherman's knot and Bimini. Still can't get the Bimini but I guess since I am only eleven I am doing pretty good I will keep watching you so I can surprise him with knew knots like the Palomar thank you sir. My Dad is hard to please my mom says he is the typical Captain likes to yell and be grouchy unless the fish is in the boat. Wish I could spend more time with him to learn more but he says he gets land sick if he is on land for to long. What ever that means not sure. Well again thanks
One of the best teachers I never had.
Roland, I'm soon to be 74 years old, so you can imagine how long I've admired you. Much obliged for the tips, my old friend! 🤠
I'm soon to be 16 and I like this guy.
😂😂

When Mr. Martin gives you a tip, enjoy a trip to the bank, cause that’s where you can take it. We love ya, Mr Martin. Thanks for EVERYTHING!
I've been doing it wrong for years! Thanks for your knowledge!
WHAT AN AWSOME HUMBLE MAN PAYING IT FORWARD THX GOD BLESS

Hats off to Roland for fishing for a living, shooting and reloading for a hobby. Then sharing knowledge...
Mr. Martin, you are a class act. Thank you so much for what you do.

Braid is great but the knots are tricky
Roland you are the man. Absolutely a pleasure to watch 👍🏻
It's good to see an expert's knots for braid. Double the braid, tie the clinch knot and it works amazing. Thanks for making this video.
One old guy who knows what Martin knows about fishing works. Old Michigan Fisherman 🤠.
Now I know how to make loop knot thnx for this video watching from Philippines 🇵🇭 👍

Glad the see Roland Martin still out there. I'm 65 years-old now and I remember glomming on to everything he was saying since I was 14 years-old.
I'm almost 60, I learned how to tie a Palomar knot when I was 8 years old. The rest is history. :)
Professor Martin. Grew up watching back in the day . Still watching in the day.
I've grown up appreciating u and still do. I always want to hear what you have to day...tjs for serving the fishing community
With age there comes a lot of wisdom.

He hits all the senses with ; honesty, warm sincerety and aged humbleness!
Excellent presentation. Simple easy to understand clear instruction. No silly loud music, no gimmicks, Well done!
Watching this again for the third time for fun. I think the Uni knot is one of the most brilliant ideas in fishing.
I like teaching people about what I love to do too. I have a lot of trouble learning. I feel have learned how teach because of it. Thanks for teaching me the Palomar knot.

Great advice from an all time great man, thanks a million, and God bless.

I always relied on a clinch knot w/ mono, mostly for trout fishing, but smallmouths have been introduced in my western state - now you talked me into new knots and braided line !
Thanks Roland, it's always to know good knots. I don't know how many fish I've lost to bad knots.
I was born and raised in Florida. I watched your fishing shows go as long as I can remember you and Bill Dance are my favorites

Great video thanks Roland, been watching you since I was a kid.

As much as I hate braid, your video tutorials and coaching are leaning me closer to making the switch and upping my game.
Thank You Roland! :)
Great to see you and this post Mr. Martin. You look like you are ready to get in that Bass boat and win a few more Fishing titles! GOD Bless .
