How to fish swim baits and swim jigs for big bass!

[@jamesleary1405]

Nothing better then watching such a humble legend just enjoying catching some nice bass. And hey teaching us while he is at it also. I've never added a slip wieght to my swimbaits like that but I will be now thank you Mr Roland Martin. Also fun fact Roland Martin is a big part of what originally got me into bass fishing over 25+ year's ago and now I have a ridiculous lure collection tons of rods and so on lol and I couldn't be happier. So glad he started a KZbin channel I really missed seeing him on the TV for so many year's but not I get to watch him whenever again now that's a awesome deal👊🎣

[@billwhite7099]

I'm 52, and guessing a little older than you. I grew up watching Roland Martin, Bill Dance, and Jimmy Houston, hands down Roland was the best. My buddy and I were talking, about how much those guys influenced our fishing styles, wthout even knowing.

[@jamesleary1405]

I'm 39 my buddy and I always loved watching shows we recorded on vhs at 3 am getting ready to walk our way to the river and lake for 5am fishing when we were just little kids. Roland is a true legend of course many others as you listed also played a role into my bass fishing love but mostly it was Roland Martin.

[@waterkeeper03]

You're the King Roland! I'm 40 now, I remember watching you on TV with my dad when I was a kid. If you ever need a fishing buddy or a camera man around Atlanta, it would be a serious honor!

[@IC_Bass]

2:20 Greatest fish release of all time

[@theoneslim1676]

It’s the no look pass!!

[@billwhite7099]

That's how you do it, after you've caught 50,000 of them.

[@DrDanTDC]

It’s great to see you and Jimmy on KZbin! You guys are full of information and experience. Love the episodes with you guys together also!

[@dustytatum2580]

"6 pounds 2 ounces.... Oh well" 😂😂 I would be ecstatic Roland is the man

[@billwhite7099]

The Great American Fisherman was at it again.

[@FlippinOkie]

9:14 i heard a barking spider lmao 🤣 Roland is the legend! "Just a 6lb" lol

[@Agile47509chicken]

Me catching a 6 pound bass: freak out, take pictures, call my buddies, make a video, sit there for 10 minutes to calm down, talk about it for weeks. Roland catching a 6 pound bass: a no-look toss back in the water and never stops talking to the camera, pulse rate maintained.

[@scottvictory52]

You share information better than anyone. Thank you!

[@jasonc.5366]

Love listening to him and his son, great video👍

[@fabi794]

When he said that 6 lb bass was no big deal, I just about died...

[@jimsmith4643]

It's BIG for me and I live in Floida

[@brentcollins7425]

Almost unheard of in south jersey

[@theoneslim1676]

I get so excited when I get your notifications about new videos. You’re awesome Roland and a true legend of the great sport of fishing

[@michaelbenjamin743]

[@Timsontv]

Roland so good he makes fishing fun and easy

[@TheAverageFisherman99]

I loved watching you on tv as a kid, and it makes me excited every time I see you uploaded a new video

[@patriot3557]

6.2 lb no big deal! Love it!

[@hbarwickjr]

That's some nice size bass. What it's all about! Great show.

[@johnjacobus2018]

I love your videos, you make fishing look like so much fun, and always a tip or technique that works. Thanks!

[@stephenbowen7252]

I seen you at Goodwin on Monday. I was the idiot with the flat boat trailer tire and no spare. I wish I would have had time to get my pic made with you. I love you and Scott’s videos.

[@craigstevens9734]

Thank you. Good to see you doing good stay after em we are warming up here in Ga. 72 last two days

[@camhester4251]

i really like using swim baits even now it's really cold here in N.C. but i just drag it on the bottom and they get it , great video

[@robertbain2435]

That looks like heaven to me!!!

[@TheBrooklynTrader]

thats a real good deal , Mr Martin!

[@vuexiong6087]

Perfect Ending!!! 👌

[@bobwitt4939]

Roland is so awesome, and he catches so many fish that a 6 pound bass, makes him say oh well not a big deal. Lol

[@Steveman27]

I discovered Roland Martin on an episode of Deal Or No Deal from 2007 where a 22 year old college guy was a contestant and who was there with his college squad, and who was a fan of Roland. I wonder if that guy still went fishing with Roland, and if there's anything online that says what it was like.

[@markroper9269]

Great work sir! I will have to try those rigs out next time I go fishing! I like your camera setup.....good view of the action! :)

[@paulenglish1741]

Roland is so cool 😎 he just tossed his plastic in the lake, like Eddie Van Halen thrown guitar pics to his fans, Awesome!!🤟

[@rustyshakelford9777]

He is cool and a living legend

[@darylculbertson8968]

Why don’t you bout your face out there Paul

[@everetthobbies2062]

Hey Roland wish it was nice here in wa state just got a boat can’t wait get it on water

[@jessegross1269]

That's where I'm from vero Beach and go back every year and fish lol ! What's your favorite swim jig or swim bait or baits ? Nice fish always great to see you catch the big ones !!

[@ronnieworthy3924]

A great teacher

[@joeleedy7533]

If lunkers would have listened to about swim baits instead of flipping. Maybe he would have put more in the boat.

[@LuisGutierrez-fi5rv]

Hahaha exactly, robs got some learning to do, rolands been a pro for longer then robs been fishing

[@jnorth5689]

Them googans can only catch fish in farm ponds

[@billwhite7099]

Yeah, if Roland Martin tells me they're biting swim jigs, I'm cutting everything I have rigged off and switching to swim jigs.

[@kevinkendall2523]

Any tips on lake harris . we be there tommrow Caught a 7:13 last year during a cold front.

[@quintonsedore9684]

Roland whats the trick for getting your bait casters to get out there so far on casts without bird nesting? Have tried multiple ways and no luck, or does it come down to you get what you pay?

[@oneshoeless]

Meh... its only 6lbs.... pft... They'd hear me screaming in New York! Whoopeee! Nice video. Thanks for the tips.

[@jimbennett3785]

Hey Roland, Why did you throw that chunk of plastic back in the lake?

[@cecilbrown4804]

Son! There he is!

[@slougo5909]

Those Bass look like Dinosaurs compared to NY State Bass. Good video Mr Martin, what of Rough life your Living. Really Enjoy your content.

[@joelastname7261]

Johnseph says hello, Roland!

[@thomasjohnston7896]

Do you recommend the pink senkos for ponds?

[@paulrescigno8541]

The back up plan ! Wwoo son

[@snipex607]

Hey Roland I just started watching your KZbin channel I found you off of the lunkers channel do you know any good places to use in Lake Columbus in Mississippi cause I have a tournament there soon

[@wesleybigham1]

That’s the deal Mr. Martin! I’m going fishing in the morning. In the spawn is it better to go fishing in the morning, mid day, or afternoon? Or does it matter?

[@LuisGutierrez-fi5rv]

I know i'm not roland but I do love a good spawn bite! For the spawn mid day is your best friend, you need the sun up to properly see the fish, try to go on a nice calm sunny day! Don't forget your polarized glasses.

[@chrisbramblett5611]

Roland, have you thought about running a spinnerbait over that ill grass and peppergrass,like you did in 1990 when you were sponsored by Shimano using a 6'8 rod

[@johnwolff1043]

03:50. 6lb 2oz bass and he says “oh well” like it is a dink.🤣🤣

[@stevegrimm7926]

Always been a fan, but can you please throw your used plastics in the garbage can. I know Nitro boats have them. Great video

[@billmitchelljr6303]

Is the boat ramp packed everyday? I was wanting to fish this lake and ill be coming from Indiana. I just didn't want to come down and not be able to get on the lake.

[@gary30229]

Yes

[@cjohnson2820]

Yes, because of all the KZbinrs like this clown....

[@chrislnflorida5192]

It's been so long since I've bern out that way, Blue Sypress. Is their any bank fishing? 😄😄😄😄 cool, can hear the Air Boat in background 👍

[@floridafishhead1071]

He catches a 6 pound bass like it's nothing a 6 pound bass would make my day

[@rodneycullens7500]

Great fishing. Just noticed when your bait was torn tossed it into the water. Shouldn't you just drop it into the boat? Just saying...

[@slamitervyday8610]

GOAT!!!

[@chrislnflorida5192]

How come we never get to see the Release on these 8 lbs and above?

[@stairman3151]

You look like your getting younger everyday! .

[@kckman52]

swimbait is a big deal, thanks son

[@Ejaramillo77]

6:03 So we just toss used plastics in the water? Cool.

[@Gerberd4936]

Yeah I saw that too I didn’t like it

[@basslurereview2084]

Every video. My pet peeve

[@cjohnson2820]

Not cool at all...

[@rustyshakelford9777]

That’s what I do too,see when your a badass like Roland and I you are too focused on the act of catching and releasing the bass not so much where I put the biodegradable plastics cause it don’t matter and if you can’t handle that then stay home with your husband and bake penis shaped cupcakes too sell at your next Democrat fundraiser

[@travisquinn9318]

What about at 10:00? Could of missed.

[@bigredbarron09]

Proceeds to toss my PB back..."oh well, not a big deal." Damn

[@mr.altricebell8299]

If i was roland i would fish every tounrey on the big O

[@restless7528]

There's a dollar you just threw a lure in the water!

[@ericthered976]

Love you Roland but please stop throwing the spent plastics into the water. Enough of those end up in the water. In the boat with it for proper disposal.

[@johnwolff1043]

I noticed that too early in the video but later on, towards the end, he dropped the old plastic in the boat rather than tossing into the lake.

[@robertgrant957]

Let's see some frog action........

[@DavidMccallister65]

Where are the swim jig how to's?

[@JDOdomiv]

I’ve always been a fan but you really shouldn’t be throwing your used soft plastics into the water likes it’s your own personal trash can. I understand they fall off in the water all the time but don’t intentionally throw them away in the water.

[@theamerican7131]

kinda surprised me when he did that....

[@gr0uch02a]

Don't throw plastics in the water, for crying out loud. (6:05)

[@michaelfaught5322]

Another time for Roland to through the Plastic into the waterway. How hard is it to through into the boat and Garbage when you get home. Not a good example....

[@eagleeye9549]

Must not of wanted to dirty up that new boat...smh. definitely not a good practice, or example. Makes me wonder if that is standard practice for him. I hope not.

[@roysaari3028]

When you have fished for 50 years and done as much for bass fishing as Roland... then tell him what you think about how to live! Watch a knitting video...

[@arciefan]

Just about ev1 carries an ice chest when they go fishing. Perfect place for trash

[@-vi9zx]

6:02 Do not throw plastics in the lake old man...

[@tylerdenhartog0629]

Biodegradable baits??? Or are you killing fishing tossing them in? I would never ever through a plastic in regardless

[@fishingfever9887]

Roland, PLEASE have some respect for our fisheries and stop throwing your used baits in the water.
