McCoy- the production quality on the videos as late has been absolutely incredible. Well done! And congrats, Scotty! You are truly blessed.

[@joshnorthwoods]

Agreed 👍

[@diverjake12]

Literally should be a TV show! It’s insane the amount of work that goes into these videos!

[@captstephenflookjr]

I second this…..Absolutely Epic!

[@muthafukajones1513]

Could t agree more. By far the best in fishing channels for production.

[@jsnyder0512]

1st time since 1991 and Dad won it…. This is amazing! You can’t make this stuff up. Congratulations Scott .

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

Thank you it was so special

[@jeffstanley8479]

For anyone that’s here for the first time… You’re watching bass fishing greatness, sit back, pay attention and you’ll learn a lot about bass fishing and even more about how to be a solid human being ! Scott’s a living legend, runs in his bloodline!!! Let’s all cheer him on to help him pull off a bass season of a lifetime!!! 🎣❤️🌎✌🏻

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

Jeff..thank you soo much..your amazing and your words make me smile

[@jeffstanley8479]

@@ScottMartinChallenge You’re very welcome Scott! I’ll be cheering you on from up here in OTT 🇨🇦 with a big smile as I keep up with you BASS Journey! Thank you for providing a positive, professional and intuitive platform for us all to be apart of!! Can’t wait for my bass season to open up in June and start chucking my soft plastics 🎣❤️🌎✌🏻

[@joeweber1575]

Can't stop smiling on this one...

[@trabyelxab8199]

All glory to God 🙏

[@DavidS19551]

When you have the Lord with you Scott nothing is impossible. Grew up watching your Dad in their Rangers, going at it. I just turned 69, man time flies, keep it up got a lot to do to catch your Dad. God Bless you and your family!

[@SeeLifeBro]

I never thought in a million years I'd see a co angler with his own portable Livescope!Hilarious dude!! Just wait until Randy Blauket finds out about this. 😂😂😂 Congratulations Scott you're an absolute legend and you deserve all the success in the world. God bless you man!🙏🏼

[@thaddeuslshore]

I really love how Scott fights for the health of the lake. You are truly and advocate for wildlife and bass fishing in general. Its nice to see the pros that care!!!!!!

[@deline8ed619]

Putting on a clinic in front of half the field 20 yards away.🤣🤣🤣 That was awesome.. Love it.!!!

[@AzogTheDefiler56]

what a lovely family you have! God bless you all

[@Mr.Picky_]

I've fished a LOT of soft plastics. The Bandito Bug catches EVERYTHING.... Love it.

[@JW-pj1zd]

NOTHING BEATS WATCHING THAT ROD BEND SO FAR OVER

[@The_DeeeJ46]

To anyone that’s trying to get into bass fishing or has been bash fishing their entire life, take notes on what this man does, and listen to why he does it! Being a great bass fisherman is in his DNA! The first bass fishing video I ever saw was of Roland Martin fishing with Jimmy Houston! And after seeing that I was hooked on bass fishing it was 1997 when I saw that I was 4 years old and in 1998 my dad bought me a sega Dreamcast for Christmas and with it the Sega Bass Fishing game! Scott watching you continue your father’s legacy has been nothing less than spectacular!

[@bassinRN]

I grew up watching your Dad and now get to watch you take care of ‘unfinished family business”! Stay after it! Will be rooting you on at the 25 Classic!

[@BB_Fishing22]

So proud of your accomplishments Scott!! You don’t know how much you have encourged me to keep going!! So glad you got a win and are trying to finish that unfinished family business!! Great job in this tournament and keep this confidence in all of the rest of them, praise the lord for helping you and everyone else out!! I’ve just started fishing high school bass tournaments, my next one is in Toledo Bend and I’m going to try to be like you!! Keep on going, you’ve got this congrats on the win and keep going!! Go Lew’s and GO SCOTT MARTIN!! Breaking records!!

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

Thank you sooo much!!! Your comment makes me smile

[@KhookemB]

@BB_Fishing22 good luck dude . Let me know how you do. When is it?

[@richwarren2475]

This was the GREATEST way to see the year start with a W for Scott Martin and all of team SMC to come. We true fans who follow you all year Mr Martin couldn't be happier for you. Bassmaster Classic Spot 1 for next year! Does not get any greater right there for starters. This frees up Scott's year to go out and fish the Bassmaster elites and any other events to focus on Victory #1 if it happens with less than normal pressure. Pressure is always there if you are a true competitor no matter what and it's an absolute amazing feeling when your in the mix. Nothing touches it as Scott already knows. Now on to team SMC looking forward to the start of the year for all 3. This was great and amazing to happen to a great man and his team!

[@evanmaddox3498]

Could only dream of making an impact that you have on Anglers nationwide. You are truly inspirational Scott, to show others kindness and a respectable father on camera is all most men can shoot for. You are awesome, I hope I get an opportunity to meet you someday!

[@BradWyatt]

Momma Martin cheering you on the walk up at the end of day 2 is the absolute best! I'm not crying you're crying!!!!! Love it bother, what a great event and so very happy to watch it go down. Strong work boss!

[@JakeFishing_]

Macoy has always been great. Imo, when he first started the quality was good, but it was KZbin quality. But holy cow dude!! It’s like watching a masterpiece of a movie/documentary now!! Unbelievable work guys!! The level of talent Macoy has grown into is superb!! Scott so so happy for you man!! I watched y’all’s podcast as well. THIS!! Talking about the full circle in that Clewiston parking lot. Talking about your parents. - It’s not about how many trophies you win, and not about what you use or how popular you are in this sport. None of that is why you’re my favorite. It’s the type of person you are. I have the highest respect for you Scott, and I’m so happy for what you’ve accomplished! Always will be a fan, supporter, whatever you want to call it. Always gonna be watching. Give er heck this season and God bless ya man!! 🤙🏼

[@FishingWithFitz]

Nothing short of an amazing tournament and trip. It’s was very special getting to see this all unfold.

[@Jcwhite25_]

Awesome job Scott. As someone who has watched basically every episode for a while now. I love seeing you have success like this. Especially when it’s your home lake. Awesome seeing your family be such great supporters. Keep up the good work Scott.

[@tresamigosoutdoors1010]

Seeing your momma so proud makes my heart happy!! Awesome stuff Scott!! Congrats man!!!

[@mattwiederholt7258]

Congrats on the insane win on the home lake. Made your pops so proud I’m sure, obviously along with the whole fam

[@russellwatters5891]

Scott, I could watch you fish these tournaments 24/7/365 no matter where they are. But to fish on your home lake, and my favorite lake, and do this good, priceless! It's an honor and pleasure sir 😊 Love ya'll ❤️

[@JadeXNight]

Congrats, scott! I've been watching for years, and im glad you made it happen with your family there to support you! Well deserved!

[@CurtisCreson-bd9qe]

What a great start to the year. It was amazing to see you fish in the amount of boat pressure around you. That’s how you need to fish the rest of the year. Me and my son started watching you about three years ago and it just keeps getting better. Good luck the rest of the season.

[@mjgergely6201]

53:12 is a testament to family and fishing! Congrats to a great 2024 start! Pittsburgh is in the house…

[@cajunfilipino6645]

Counting on fingers. Glas your a awesome bass fisherman! Scott you are probably the most liked, great man, God fearing, God acknowledging and just someone we all wish our sons will grow up to emulate. I have watched you for years and since moving to the Philippines your videos have kept my itch scratched for fishing. I lived in Louisiana and hunted and fished all my life and do miss my Ranger n 225 ho but watching you is a blessing. Really love you and watching your videos. Sorry one more thing as I watch. It is heart warming to know you have a beautiful wife and mother behind you cheering you on. God Bless

[@thomasfordonski381]

One of the most special ways to watch you qualify for the classic! Being able to do it right where it all started years ago! Congratulations man! It’s been amazing being able to watch you as I’ve grown up and being able to meet you last year in Indy! Keep the storm rolling!

[@larrybarras8147]

Been watching you since before you tube. When you have confidence, you can't be stopped! If this doesn't give you confidence going into the elites I don't know what can! This was freaking amazing and you did it with your family. Hope you're mom is OK. Prayers for you and your family.

[@matthewmartin1973]

I'm super proud of you and happy for you and your family! I've been watching for years, and like you've done for many, you have inspired me. I truly don't know if I'd be self-employed and pursuing a passion of mine if it weren't for me seeing you being able to support your family doing what you love. Life has been hectic for a few years, especially with work. My ability to watch your videos consistently or fish myself has been slim, but I saw the announcements on Facebook and couldn't wait to tune in to watch your victory. Congrats, brother!

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

Thank you Matthew..thank you for support and keep your head up and enjoy everyday the best way you can. It will work out
