Hope you guys are enjoying this series! If you haven't already check out episode 1 & 2 (Linked in the description! Where should we travel and fish next??

[@jorgeizidrogoncalves7855]

I have no idea , it doesnt get better than that lol , congratulations for the great work !

[@stephendoran2941]

Wicked

[@russellwatters5891]

Definitely someplace that could be accessed by "normal folk", a place where you can feel comfortable about not surrounding yourself with armed guards, and like a once in a lifetime elk hunt, a place where scrumptious and saving will get you there. Lake Kissimmee sounds about right...lol. I literally pulled off I 75 when I saw the upload, thinking today was the 20 pounder.. Tomorrow. I hope Hilary feels better! Love ya'll ❤ Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 ❤

[@helloitscolton]

Tanzania for Tigerfish, Indonesia for big GT, Colombia for Tarpon, I'd say Australia for everything from big Barramundi to Golden Trevally.

[@chasegurkin8291]

Go to Alaska I have always wanted to go there for the fly fishing and to se the glaciers or go try to catch GTs

[@jaaypriest1018]

Alright,.this is officially the best video series you've done Scott! I heard Andrew say he was going on an Amazonian fishing trip with you on BTL. This couldn't have been put together any better! My hats off to you!!!

[@rinnerebirth971]

Agreed… cheers 🍻

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

Thank you sooo much!!

[@tobygable]

Your just as much a god loving, family man, as you are a maniac on the pole. Bless you my friend thank you for the amazing content❤️❤️

[@donniestrong7273]

This is awesome. You were the first professional angler that I got an autograph from back in the day. You treated me like you had known me for years and I appreciate that. I’m a big fan man. Good luck in the classic and the elites this I’ll be watching. God Bless

[@TheDalton139]

You rock Scott! Not only have you shown me the kind of fisherman I want to be over the years, but now you’ve shown me the kind of father I want to be to my 7 month old daughter! This is a great series!!

[@Mark-ln6lt]

What l also like is the way the Peacocks hit the lures with force and must of given a lovely fight.

[@stephenlightfoot4833]

100% please more of these. Not sure if teaming up with Jermy Wade would be a thing but i vote yes please. He speakes all the languages also helpful

[@shitonyouable]

Billy having the time of his life with baits up side the head 😂😅

[@barryd.thomassr.9156]

In the intro a Shot of Hillary Casting, She has her LASER VISION on that Lure in Flight! 100% Professional Concentration! She is Going to Be a Hell of a PRO! Can Really tell that she's not well. Her excitement level is down and that Killer Smile is MIA at times!

[@kellenmatthews1440]

14:23 Billy chugging that bottle was hilarious 🤣 and 15:39 and Scott losing his glasses was so funny 🤣

[@rondirts]

Forget cable TV this is gold!

[@lonemindinacrowd]

WOW that Tiger Shovelnose @24:00 is GORGEOUS.

[@pelagicprincesses6123]

Billy Madison be LOCO

[@Mark-ln6lt]

I would say that the whole Scott family are all Champions at all Species of fish were ever they go which is wonderful.

[@JonJonsOutdoors]

Dream trip! Let’s go Hill, you’ll get it done sis!

[@taraclanton6581]

I love how when Jake caught the giant peacock and your guide said there would be two more Hilary picked her rod up faster than the speed of light

[@davidchristophersmith5420]

Scott and the rest of them SMC team you guys make great Videos, thanks for the hours of entertainment. If your planning Mozambique trip you need to stop in @ Zimbabwe and do some Tiger Fishing and a bunch of river species off the Zambezi River. Incredible Wildlife and great bass fishing also. Don't miss out!

[@jakemartin1999]

This. Is. Going. To. Be AWESOME!!

[@chanceehuiet]

I’m not gunna lie when billy got slapped in the cheek with the hair jig and I saw it didn’t bury I about pissed my self laughing. I know I shouldn’t laugh coulda been way way worse but his and andrews reaction got me cracking up

[@wayneosmon1687]

[@krishawkins5758]

Man great video Scott. There at the end Hilary looked dusted😄 good fish and good luck on future endeavors and Merry Christmas to the whole fam.

[@joshuacoggin5665]

Don't know if anyone has said it yet but the casting is on point. I have fished 3 people on a small tin rig and it isn't easy to cast. Especially accurate. You guys have skills.

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

Thank you!!

[@dannyd-rockmahaffey3087]

I haven't even watched yet, but I know its the bomb Scott....Thank you brother....

[@salty_crawling_mitch]

I'm not sure how you could top this series, Adventure. There is so much unknown about the Amazons and it's so cool seeing you and your family/friends explore it.

[@doT03]

That fireball kicking in

[@mikerutherdale7327]

Billy is always crazy but he has taken it to another level in the Amazon 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@maddgoatee9708]

Sturgeon fishing in the Northwest would be cool. Love, love this Amazon series.

[@jarrettmoehlman6469]

I wonder if Billy had too much Fireball 😂😂

[@bwyse2919]

That Fire Bird'll learn ya some things! Like, why I quit drankin'! Lovin' the series Scott!

[@davidburnham2205]

Love watching your channel Scott. I absolutely love bass fishing. Since my time in the military it's the only thing that makes the pain of combat a little easier to manage. I have learned so much from you and I greatly appreciate you. Thank you so much for all you do.

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

Thank you David!! I am honored that our videos help you. Thank you for your service!

[@klc3478]

[@pken9814]

Lol Billy was quite lit up on that fireball. Loving this series.

[@MetalRunner4]

Series is top notch

[@youtubzkoz]

Australia has some of the best fishing ever! reef and off the rock fishing!

[@NismoS13240sx1]

Lol Billy was sauced hahahah love it

[@cecapfishing9882]

Hey Scott! Glad to see you here in Brazil 🇧🇷 Awesome footage, congratulations! Loved the portuguese on PULMÃO DA TERRA The Amazon River is actually THE biggest river and the speckled Peacock you saw is not a specie on its own but rather a different pattern of coloration of a few species, but you have the açu (3 bars, the big one) in the speckled pattern too! Also, we call them Paca, which means Tapir, that's what their coloration reminds us of, the spots on the tapir's back Excited to see all the episodes and see this awesome experience from your point of view!

[@bassingthrough]

Great video Scott. Really like how you have the go pro harness under your shirt, and how the go pro comes out the shirt. Thats pretty neat, and comfortable. Them top water blow ups sound like a cannon going off.

[@nevadacoz]

Dude! You are truly blessed.

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

Absolutely blessed!

[@mattsault6492]

That sip on the bottle got to billy
