Bank fishing the Everglades

I catch beautiful largemouth on Senkos and frogs while fishing the Everglades about 40 miles south of lake Okeechobee. It's hot summertime with occasional rain showers but we have a dry and air conditioned truck at our disposal!

I'm going on 45 years old and I grew up watching Roland, Bill and Orlando. I think they were on TBS. If I met any of em I would probably cry like a baby.

I love how The G.O.A.T still gets excited like I do over a 5 lb bass. Great sport! Thx for posting Mr. Martin.

[@davidalbero2485]

I really enjoy watching your videos I always learn something and I enjoy fishing morè. greetings from Spain.

[@87758]

Mr.Martin: thank you for teaching people how to fish from shore. Many of your fans dont have boats. Thank you Sir.

[@timperry6095]

I just love your genuine enthusiasm. There are way too many videos that just seem fake - too much forced drama and too many over reactions. Thanks for continuing to make the same kind of episodes on KZbin as I loved to watch on television when I was a kid.

[@fishinfreezey6983]

Theres NOTHING like Florida Bass Fishing and still seeing Roland out there Gitn r' done with just as much enthusiasm as a teenager. Rock on Roland!!!

[@pgmale]

I just caught my personal best, a 5 pound monster, on a frog today in my neighborhood pond!

[@CowboyCarCrushing]

Awesome

Kick ass man

[@mr.fasanella2101]

Roland never stop ok

[@ericfloyd9842]

Congrats!

[@justfishmichael]

Congrats! Now find the 6 pounder. Harder for us in the northern states

[@bass.fishing.2022]

Hi Roland I started watching you a couple months ago and you have gotten me so much better at bass fishing I love your videos!

[@atcaleb]

You and Scott just did a 25$ walmart challenge and I teased Scott that it isnt a 25$ challenge in a $50K boat. Thanks for taking us bank fishing Mr Martin. No sonar, no spot lock, no finding the perfect spot. Thank you, I enjoyed this video.

[@waltn3202]

After a tough day at work and traffic backups going home it was great to sit down with an adult beverage and watch you catch bass in the beautiful Florida everglades. Thank you Roland.

[@808kalihi9]

I know you only do largemouth bass mostly but me and my girlfriend applied some of your teachings this past weekend on a reservoir lake for striper bass and caught our personal best 15 stripers!!! Thank you!! sir!! Martin!!

[@RolandMartinOutdoors]

I guided for Stripers at Santee-Cooper lakes from 1963-1970!

[@jakeschisler7525]

Poor Roland out there sweating his arse off for everyone, thank you, sir! I too live in south Florida and it is hot, humid and wet. I too sweat like a pig on a fire!

[@ageshart4523]

Great video Mr. Martin thanks for sharing your knowledge and passion . 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@angeldomenech60]

I love to watch your videos. Thanks for showing us the best way to get them fish.

[@sssox773]

Your videos have helped me so much! Keep up the great work Roland 👍

[@trinkladd]

So much information in these videos, thank you for the free knowledge Mr. Martin!

[@arciefan]

Two of the best balanced guys I've ever seen. Roland at his age walking around on them rocks and not falling, sitting on that ice chest on the car topper boat. (I would fall off out in the lake lol) and Scott standing on his evinrude catching fish, or I've even seen him stand on his depth finder to elevate himself. Roland , Sir you are a joy to watch, you've caught more fish (and lot's of big ones) in this short time on your you tube channel and can't say thank you enough!!!

[@celpondrvssuk]

Danng Son, You still got it!! Love every one of your videos ROLAND!

[@tommynichols3558]

I 💖 bank fishing it's best way to be real fisherman

[@rickthomas3970]

Another great video..I caught a 6 pounder yesterday evening on a frog near the Taylor Creek locks ...I always start and finish my day with the frog....The only reason I started using frogs was from Roland Martin Outdoors..... I'm 66 and yes you can teach old dogs new tricks....

[@GrayHughesInvestigates]

Roland Fricken Martin. Bam...I remember you when I was a kid I used to love watching you, Jimmy Houston and Bill Dance. Good to see you still catching the lunkers. Boom

[@charlesgeorge4391]

I grew up watching you on TV and I got excited when I found you on KZbin I learned a lot watching your videos

[@fiegled]

It is good seeing you doing well and still doing what you love! Happy fishing Roland!

[@travishorton8290]

Still as great as ever. Loved this video Mr Martin. That was some real cruisin' around and fishin'

[@Cogdellboy]

First cast -First bass !!! Great way to start the day !! Love your videos !!

Thanks for the video! This information is relevant to a lot of people because we do not have boats. I always enjoy your videos!

[@justinwhite5859]

Dang you Rolland ! Lol you got the gift when it comes to landing FISH ! Keep posting great videos 👍

[@gastoncannon4710]

Hi from the UK, great to see those bass, brings back memories of my time over there. You have such great fishing over there. Thanks for sharing

[@dannyd-rockmahaffey3087]

You the man....Roland!!!!!!

[@jeepinwithjim9894]

Son, how many times have I had to say "It's a small one but at least it's a fish." Great video Roland.

[@zubertish]

Yup... jealous... great fishing... great video, thanks!

[@jsv6849]

Not suprised, a legend catching a fish on the first cast.

[@johnnyb5521]

Can’t beat the Everglades for quality big Bass especially when Roland Martin catches them. Hope to see you Friday down there.🎣👍👊

[@fishdaddyforreel]

Still like a ten year old kid. Love Roland!!

[@DRWBassFishing]

What I like about your vids you keep it simple.

[@keithlawrence7682]

Great watching you bank fishing. That’s all I do and know how tricky those rocks can be. Be careful out there.

Love the teckel frog......nice vid Roland

[@joekilpatrick1320]

I used to go to South Florida for work quite often. One of my favorite places to fish

[@othnielbendavid9777]

I'm reminded of days when I was stationed at Homestead AFB and we fished the canals on and around the base. Some even had landlocked Tarpon. Those places didn't hold any bass unless they were big though. Good memories. Thanks.

[@thecarpartsguy8676]

I love your love of fishing :)

[@trinkladd]

Mr. Martin make sure you're keeping plenty of cool drinks down there with you.! It's hot in Everglades. And the mesquitos are vicious.

[@bobosalish]

Damn Roland... You ARE living baby... #Son !!!

[@angelasheppard7197]

Wow, first cast!! Now be careful in those rocks...i know u have a lot of experience falling on rocks like those. 😁😂😃

Hey Roland, saw the decal on your tailgate...GO IRISH!

[@Freshmanger2009]

It must be really hot down there. You now have a dark grey shirt. Great fishes by the way.

[@stevenchill5078]

Awesome! Subscribed and watch

[@jsalterxpress.2480]

A Roland Martin with rebuilt eyes is dangerous to all bass. Glad I’m not a fish, Lol. Can’t imagine how those rifles shoot now. Thank you for another fun video.

[@ernestomoreno5904]

makes me nervous seeing you so close to those banks ..there are huge gators lurking those water ..I had a couple of close calls ..I am also an older guy ..great videos and stay safe .

[@OldLadyAngler]

Some nice ones from the bank!! I looked for you out there Roland. Maybe I'll catch you next time!

I wanna go fishing with you sometime, It would be an honor to fish with a legend like yourself. I'm a Maryland native living in Estero and I always keep an eye out for you or Scott at Bass Pro.

This place is sooooo quiet. Its wonderfuñ!!

[@pittsburghangler]

I could listen to this guy talk about just about anything.

[@MARKLOCKWOOD2012]

I had the same rock point trout fishing 🎣 in the white river in north Arkansas highly highly recommend it. Bull shoals lake feeds it. Rent or get an rv. Their are some giant trout very finicky first day I hit the river at evening four thirty 🕟 cooler temp caught three to four then for the remainder about two a day. I would walk in the water while the river was drawn down. Never caught anything that way went back to the rock point did far better. I just like 🎣 catching something is a bonus.

[@BravoJoe604]

Great video,please make a Yamamoto flappin hog video

[@sewing1243]

Roland, As an older angler do you recommend going out alone on trips like this (it appears you had a cameraman with you). If this was a Bill Dance video I would have expected him to have fallen in the canal and then this would be one of his blooper reels.

[@RolandMartinOutdoors]

I still fish some by myself but not as much as 10 years ago

[@victorremick9721]

THIS IS REAL FISHING !! I FELT LIKE I WAS THERE....

[@BAMA-2019]

Aliens are NOT REAL bro

[@lebleup]

Mr. Martin, I noticed you used a predominantly white frog in this episode of bank fishing. Can you share what color a frog you use under what conditions? Like, when you use a buzz bait when overcast and cloudy/drizzly. White for bright sunny days? What about when to use a dark, say, brown or black frog? Green frog? Thank you so much for excellent instruction and pointers!

[@RolandMartinOutdoors]

The main reason I use a white frog is so that the camera can see it better!

[@TheSwiftdude58]

Good stuff

[@Iceberg120203]

I lost a 10lb+ bass tonight. And a $7 spook. Broke 15lb monofilament right before I grabbed him. Roland wouldn't have lost him lol

[@mangomann8132]

[@jackdiprima67]

Mr. Martin. I know you said you were about 40 miles south of Lke O. But where? Just East of 27 by Holey Lands? Just curious. Looks like a cool spot! Thank you sir!!

[@PENNYWISE6969]

You are more brave than I am, giant lizards cant grab my leg in my Nitro Z17.................

[@fishinfreezey6983]

Im from Delaware and I know just what you mean. When I visit Florida and go fishing they are always on my mind cause you cant see them half the time. Maybe if I moved down there and knew the area.

[@stanglife97cobra72]

Awesome day of fisbing

[@camrelaw]

Roland, do you prefer the morning or afternoon bite when you fish the Everglades? Thanks for the great video. Extremely informative and relevant.

[@RolandMartinOutdoors]

both

As they with storms time to put the fish sticks up,lighting rod is what your holding.

Don't turn your back to those damn gators. Enjoy the videos.

[@huntingfishingandworkingev5134]

Was it just me but the reel sounded really noisy at the first spot

It was crunching .....made my skin crawl ,had headphones very noticeable it's a prototype reel for a reason

I have got to go buy a frog lure now😊maybe i wiñl catch em where i havnt caught em before

[@oldmcdonald9582]

if your gonna learn anything, learn it from the man himself/ they need to start a senior fishing tour so we can see some of these legends fish again, wouldnt that be something?
