[@soldierofchristbassin6821]

Scott Martin Great Job Scott!!! Proud to be a part of team SMC. Now I need some good Fall techniques. Chicamagua is slick this year so I've got to come up with a great game plan for my Championship the week of Oct 9 - 15. Grass is sparse, it's trying to come in but not like The Chick we know. It's going to be tough for sure. Thanks for all the great videos and looking forward to many many more. God Bless!!! Dream Big and Dream Bass!!!🎣🎣🎣

[@kevinflabouyfishing5739]

Scott Martin freshwater grouper fishing is fo reel lol,, great fish coordinator on were boats mess up the school's of bait and bass. Impressive i.q Florida boy myself 👍👍

[@wesleycastor8066]

Scott Martin hey Scott, new sub here new to competition bass fishing but I'm loving what I see so far. I was wondering how returning the fish to the water after weighing worked? Just curious is all. Thanks for the video. And I'm still watching as I'm writing this comment so I'm excited to see how you do!

[@strangeclouds3660]

Scott Martin i was praying for you brother and at the end of the day you are a blessed man .

[@rcp8287]

nice job Scott don't mean to make you feel old but i fished with you in a bassmaster tournament on st johns river ,my son was born by emergency c section that day and the only reason i stayed one more day was because i drew you as a partner! we all most hit the rail crossing going over the river and i thought this guy knows what he is doing until you looked at me and said dang that was close!!!! i,ll never forget that day! oh yea my son is fifteen now!

[@likilikiki]

Your prayer was the best part. 2nd best part was seeing you catch 'em! Blessings to you, my brother in Christ.

[@vibesdasher]

[@lojofishing]

You clean up pretty good Scott, glad you kept the beard tho....

[@docmlw]

Proud to say my 2 sons and I love watching your videos Scott. Thanks for giving us a chance to go on your crazy rides with you, and more importantly doing it the right way! From one Dad to another I appreciate it.

[@davferri]

Scott this vlog is epic.. Nobody gives the public this kind of elite level tournament experience .. You are truely an industry icon !

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

[@austinsmith8588]

A few things for you today, I love watching you fish, it's awesome, through the good times and bad times it's just fun. The excitement off crossing the eyes on a monster bass, the frustration of losing them or not catching a nice bag, and watching your techniques and how you change it up. Next, seeing you pray before casting out is amazing, it upsets me seeing so many people pushing their religion to the side. God is great!! And number 3, I love how much you love your wife!! You're an outstanding fisherman, a god fearing man, and it seems like you're a wonderful husband to your wife! Even If you never won a tournament, what a wonderful way to to make the most of your life. I truly envy you as a man, and one day hope to be as successful as you on the water as well. My first tournament I'll fish in is Sunday. Wish me luck!! Tight lines, Austin Smith

[@travisjohnson7081]

you are blessed to do what you do for a living and get those size of checks, and countless other more important reasons. i love your positive attitude, and how you are bold enough to share your faith. both signs of the depth of your gratitude. stay humble, and God bless.

[@5down951]

Really enjoyed the vid Scott. You practiced hard and found some great schools of fish. Everyone comes up short sometimes. You should definitely be proud of this year! Can't wait for the next FLW Season!

[@huntermercer364]

started watching your channel about half way through the season. I knew who you were before and that you were a very good fishermen but now i have a whole new respect for you. The tournament series of videos is my favourite thing to watch, watching what you and everyone else do to prepare for a tournament is amazing. Your tips and suggestions have helped me to take my knowledge and fishing to the next level. So i would like to thank you for making these videos and helping me and everyone else who watches. I hope next year is your year and that you're the first ever 2X forest wood cup champ!

[@andersonryanmills]

Nothing else matters than when Scotts stops what he is doing and prays. Shows huge character and what type of quality guy he is! Congrats on this season Scott!

[@ChunkyKongGaming]

Except for that God and Religion are beliefs. Not fact.

[@LtDan-jr2qx]

29:45 god bless you Scott Martin, what he said at that time was amazing to hear, I’m wanting to get more serious into bass fishing and I’ve started watching his channel for a couple weeks now 🙏

[@larrystolzman3231]

Scott, thank you for taking us on a great adventure. Your idea of showing the behind the scenes life of a pro fisherman is creative, entertaining and educational. Including your family and faith makes viewing even better. Many thanks also to Brandon for his great video work and fun personality. The spinner worm will never be forgotten. Can't wait for more of this. Greatest show in town!👍

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

+Larry Stolzman thank you so much..👊🏼

[@alexhall2814]

Editing was the best in this video. I couldn't tell you how many times I laughed. Good job Scott. Keep fishing, never stop.

[@chanceofstorms6735]

I've always loved fishing, but watching a genuine professional like you fish makes me love the sport even more. Class act of a man. Congrats on getting far again! Love the videos and wouldn't miss any.

[@mulldrifterz6469]

You tried your best Scott, and that's all us fans can ask for. Billy is awesome as always, he needs his own channel already! And maybe a little SMC with Atkins in the future? ;)

[@billnelson1214]

[@bryantims6557]

Win or lose, you and your dad will always be my fishing idols, I remeber watching your dad when I was a kid now I'm older glad I have the pleasure to watch you fish also. In the next shout video if you got the time would greatly appreciate the opportunity. If also I would love love love you and your dad's autograph that'd be a dream come true. Keep up the good videos!

Great job this year Scott! These videos keep getting better and better. Brandon is killing it with his video add ins, graphics and the drone shoots are awesome.

[@tommagnum2530]

Scott, great effort and appreciate you recording your day for your fans.

[@jcrow530]

I've never met you, nor do I follow fishing outside of KZbin but I was rooting for you man. It only hurts losing when you know you didn't do all you could. Great year!

[@bobbistevens6797]

I can NOT even begin to express how awesome everyone was during the National Anthem all STANDING WITH HEARTS COVERED!!! The NFL players need to take note of this and respect!! Thank you Scott for that!

[@adamm2127]

Absolutely love watching your video series Scott. Great motivation for anglers of all ages to get out and slammin into some biggins. Fish on brother.

[@johndaughtridge6135]

Scott Martin even though you didn't win to me you are an inspiration! You are one of the reasons why I started fishing more and can keep my head up on even the off days and the prayer was a good start for that last day.. you will win it next year!!!! Keep your line tight and your drag tight, happy fishing!!!!

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

+John Daughtridge thank you:)

[@matthewdanielnewman2]

Fishing can be a cruel mistress. Love your channel Scott. You took it in stride and I love that. Maximum effort!

[@doomboles6592]

[@Strykr24]

I got a reply from the Scott Martin! Keep the videos coming man, have a great time in the off season, and good luck next year!

[@azbassin6579]

Although you didn't win you kept it real and whats its all about. The man upstairs and the love and support of family. You still have a chance to become the first 2X FWC Champ this coming season. Keep the videos coming, they're awesome.

[@awacsmye3]

Congrats on a great season Scott! It was a blast trying to follow you around on Lake Cumberland on Championship Sunday. The Tower of Power was no match for the G2. Can't wait until you guys come back. Love that lake. Love the channel! 👊🎣

[@ronrobison2847]

Thanks! for you letting us follow along on your journey this year. I wish you nothing but he best, i can,t wait for more. God Bless!!!!

[@woodsonburden382]

You're the best Scott Martin!! I came to weigh In on day 2 and tried to get your autograph but when I stood up to get it some grumpy old guy that worked for USC told me I was blocking people's view. But I was just happy to see you in person. Great tournament though! You'll get em next year!!

[@BignoseJ]

Great turnament Scott. You are still my number one pick for fantasy fishing. Forever.

[@mikekoch1966]

[@MrJNOTHUM]

Scott thanks for sharing with everyone the videos of the tournament trail this year. I follow the FLW online so I know the results before your videos post but watching them makes me always feel like the outcome will be different. Great job this year, look forward to the next tour!

[@D34ThL1VeS]

[@seandavis4183]

Great video Scott! Good hard work! Thanks for putting the whole tournament on one video, I really enjoy your videos and your fishing tips.

[@ryanwalker4303]

Awesome Video Scott. Keep up the great work. It's incredible getting to see behind the scenes of such a huge tournament. Hats off to you for taking us along

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

+Ryan Walker 👊🏼

[@18632ewa8]

man I absolutely love your videos I can't put my finger on why I love your videos but I absolutely love them. I can have a hard day at work and I just like sitting down and watching your videos I wake up in the morning and I'll watch your video. I can't put my finger on why I enjoy them so much but I do.

[@bassfinztv2538]

Good job Scott that lake can be a pain in the butt. I talked to Whit and he was so happy for being on your vlog. Keep going dude your a role model

[@lemesnil1]

It looked like it was fun to fish... and competition has always made me better at what i need to be better to win.... and being able to have fun in the process. You are a hell of a sportsman...its badass watching you compete.

[@southernoutdoorstv699]

hate you didn't win Scott, but you and LFG, Rob, Jon b., apbassin, and flair, have been an huge inspiration for me to get out and do more fishing and filming. Thanks Scott your awesome at what you do hope to be competing along with you sometime soon.

[@texasAUtiger]

Great attitude all the way but especially down the stretch. Very classy to include Justin's big moment in your video also. Congrats on a great year on and off the water.

[@DanRichardFishing]

Congrats on placing in the top 10 and bringing home a payday Scott, and of course for the amazing video content. I've been slowly grabbing some of your tips and tricks and recently used a pitchin' rig you showed how to put together to slam some donkey smallies and even some lake trout at a new lake I've been fishing this summer. Thanks for all the hard work you put in to your videos and the industry, keep it up! All the best :)

[@RobertFrey1994]

This whole video got me nervous and excited all at the same time! Good video and awesome job in the tournament!

[@TackleNThrift]

Scott, I have a challenge for you. You and your dad vs Peric and Flair vs Lunkers and Jon B. Make it all live with donations for LFG surgery.

[@jdrogersii5649]

Olive King so glad to see hes made it out of surgery all good me and my wife have been watching him for about a year and were so worried about him hes been a real inspiration for us got us fishing again gave us somthing we can do together as a team makes us a stronger couple

[@dirkalan1]

Hi Scott, congratulations my friend on a successful season in my books!!! I thoroughly have enjoyed watching your team this year. One dream of mine someday is to go out on the water with you and do some fishing. I'M 47 and retired but I reside in Indiana. My days are spent twice a day out on the water until the cold weather freezes up the ponds and lakes. Caught over 2000 bass last year and I'm gonna surpass that number this year. If I'm not fishing I'm on KZbin gaining more knowledge from guys like yourself. Rest up and bring on the 2018 season!!!

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

+Dirk Schrontz that's awesome!! Thank you!

[@xboxgururdr]

36 minutes of quality content, cheers from Canada Scott.

[@ryanpatrick6837]

Great run at it this year Scott!! I got to meet you at Lake Cumberland this year, it was great meeting you, hope I get to fish with you sometime!! Can't wait till y'all come back in 2018! I'll see you there!!

[@christopherthurman4435]

Great job SM. I was thinking on day 2 you needed to go deeper; nice adjustment. You Pop's is still my all time fav Angler. Heck I learn how to lip a bass by watching his shows in the '80s after Braves games on TBS!

[@arciefan]

Top notch A-one quality vlog from start to finish of the season. Unprecedented and quality video, editing, and resulted in a huge following of fishermen/fisherwomen that have become loyal fans. We're all proud of you bro!!!

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

+arciefan thank you so much!!!!!

[@piratetaxi2596]

valiant effort and i imagine you got a descent pay day for it. Just keep on plugging away and i have no doubt that youll eventually get your 2nd f wood cup as long as the good Lord is willing and the creek dont rise. pa go team spinnerworm

[@calebsutherland8101]

Scott Martin you fished one heck of a tournament had some good spots even though you came up short it happens and I believe you will be the first two time forest wood cup champion one day good job man

[@willm5625]

Pleasure meeting you at the boat ramp during the cup Scott!

[@abernathy329]

Good job Scott! Always enjoy your vids. Good to see more of a pro fisherman than the tv shows. Thanks

[@sticknastring6632]

Congrats bro. There's no one better then you Scott. There's always next year, but u reeled in some tanks! Keep it up. I'm starting tournament fishing this spring because of you!

[@TerribleShmeltingAccident]

i really like scott's video's, he really makes you feel like part of the crew!

[@matthewdibenedetto5880]

Great video Scott. It's been fun watching over the last year. I really have learned a lot.

[@Heal_Myster]

You did great Scott. Your my favorite fisherman. I know you will get them next year.

[@alldaybassfish8015]

Great tournament Scott! came all three days just to watch you weigh in and have a chance at winning it all, you'll get it next year!!

[@ajbeard5091]

I went fishing on Okeechobee with captain Joey Berg and it was amazing. I never got lucky enough to hook into a big one, but you guys have such a beautiful lake down there!

[@jerryscott253]

By watching your videos I'm getting a understanding on how to fish for bass now thank u and keep up the good work

[@Tom13GN]

Well done Mr. Martin, you had a great year overall!!!

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

+Tom13GN thank you

[@BottledCourage]

Damn brother! You'll get em baby. Thanks for everything and taking us along.

[@98kutch]

What lures did you use during the tournament? You should do a video talking what you used, why and how you used them. Congrats on the 8th place finish, not a bad way to end the year!

[@rhweeks50]

Always enjoy watching your vlogs. Wish I would have spoken back earlier this year when you were up in Chattanooga practicing for the open when I saw you at Academy. I have learned a lot about fishing watching your videos and have grown to love fishing. Hope to see you in the bassmaster classic this up coming year.

[@Bay_32]

Great job Scott! I'm still looking forward to meeting you one day on the lake. May God continue to guide you in your career. Tight lines!

[@cheesytottman4148]

Scott you got it man, you had tons of bites, lots of big fish, made it in the top 10 on the final day. Yeah you came up a little short but hell man nobody's perfect. Keep it up brother and keep uploading all the great content!

[@kevinsheddrick2757]

I love your series of videos for each tournament. The travel VLOG, practice and tournament videos. Funny, great fishing tips and good insight to life on the road. Plus I love how you praise the Lord in the good times and the bad. Keep posting!!

[@jontro34]

I hope you do these for all the tournaments next year! Enjoy these those most.

[@yub2153]

Love the transition from dinner to day 1 montage!

[@jameswilliams6914]

great job Scott from the sooner state, my question is one you have heard before. i want a set up like you have so 1 rod for everything i fish for. i use alot of cranks lipless, spinners, chatterbaits, frogs, top water and buzz baits. just now learning how to use worms and some soft plastics. and we all know the best reels are Okuma and trokar hooks. what would you suggest on the rod. thanks Scott keep up the good work you do for all of us.

[@dukeaboy829]

Was so hoping you'd get to raise the cup....you were in it till the end...such great footage...enjoyed every minute...You Da Man!!!

[@MongoFishing]

I just learned that the 2018 Forrest Wood Cup will be on Ouachita. I look forward to taking the family and seeing you there. I'm fishing Ouachita for the first time in about 3 weeks.

[@mikemason4792]

Great job. There are a million of us weekends who wish we could be in your bbn place.Learning by watching you bait selection and presentation.

[@SMCscottydogg]

Great job Scott. Tough last day but there is always next year bro. We are all proud of you!! Go get em bro.

[@J0hndeere11]

Great job Scott! Love the editing on the videos! They are hilarious!

[@scottappley2626]

Another great watch! I enjoy the passion you show pre-fishing and tournament days. You always seem to enjoy yourself and are great to your fans. Not sure what to think now that your season is done for the year. One thing, you need to get a net holder that points up in the air so it's not always hanging up on your rods. LOL Great job all year. God bless!

[@chadleboeuf4044]

Awesome job Scott !!! Love watching your videos ! I have lots of your signature rods and use most of your setups to fish ! Thanks and great job !

[@howabouthetruth2157]

Heck of a tournament Scott. I was really excited the other day when I saw you had made the cut for the final day, but it just wasn't to be this year. Ya still did darn good for placing 7th overall, against a field of such talented anglers. Enjoyed this documentary of your space inside this tournament, and go get em next year Buddy!!!

[@tebigman65]

The video was very exciting and praying always helps things! You have a wonderful life and a nice family. Winning is just a bonus. Hard work and dedication always reap rewards.

[@andrewhumphrey4857]

Great year Scott!! Can't wait for y'all to come visit the Harris chain of lakes again.

[@stanchang6338]

Heck of a season Scott. Congrats on a great season and was like we were all there with you every step of the way. Can't wait to see what's next. Tell your wife to take it easy on you. 😜

[@pigiron965]

I saw you on lunkers channel. Glad I did great video man. I’m now a fan

[@alexjones7559]

you'll get it next time man good job with the effort and I like how you show your faith

[@fresnocascabel7571]

You made a good run Scott. Atkins was on fire Sunday, nothing anyone could've done

[@silkysmke]

There's always next time Scott! Keep the videos going though, awesome show you guys put together. Your tips during the show helped me figure out my local lake better.

[@gabehatleberg997]

Good job, better luck next year Scott. You did what you could and I hope that some day I’ll be fishing the FWC like you.

[@dustysanmiguel1942]
