The ABC's of tackle selection, lures and techniques I use for nite fishing for 10 pound plus bass!

[@jonathandoerry3185]

Imagine catching a 10lb bass every "couple weeks or so" lol.

[@aaronisham9700]

I wish

[@quill1260]

Right????

[@brad6420]

[@assholebynature888]

MAJOR FLEX

[@travisbruno1988]

Lol i cant catch a 10lb fish in NJ for a lifetime

[@NineteenEighty8]

Enthusiastic as ever! I wish my nieces/nephews looked up to this guy like I did when I was a kid. Much love Roland!

[@ziggyblue782]

Rolands enthusiasm and passion for fishing is awesome. I always learn something by tuning in. Thanks Roland!

[@josephhillman8831]

Gotta love Roland's demeanor just like a kid going to the gravel pit to fish me being 60 years young feel the same passion for catching bass!

[@graymccomb7725]

Hi Roland, I have read your book on bass fishing and your book is the best detailed book that I have read on bass fishing, thank you for your enormous time and dedication to this great sport and recreational past times that we Americans enjoy so much!!!

[@stanstarr5113]

Roland and the late great Doug Hannon started me on night fishing for big bass years ago 2 legends with a wealth of knowledge

[@Nixon316]

The GODFATHER of fishing advice and tips! Truly one of my favorite!!!!

[@goodoldbubba6620]

I grew up watching your show on Saturdays. Glad to see you're still around.

[@ericmojave6061]

I like how Roland Martin has looked the same for about 20 years

[@nathanellis914]

I was just gonna say " Roland and jimmy found the secret. Its fishing that keeps them young".

[@arthurblair5682]

Vampire

[@MappuC.Stenks]

That's cause all he does is fish lol

[@freedomforever45]

I catch all my double digits at night here in central Florida 👍 it's exciting and makes you much better at hook sets fishing hollow body frogs .

[@steveb1837]

Where you at Freedom? Anywhere close to orlando?

[@camboflo727]

I love using popper frogs in open water on a calm night! That 5+ lb bass blow up is so addicting!!

[@CM-rx8rz]

I Absolutely Love learning from Roland Martin. I've watched so many of His videos...I feel as though I know him. Please keep doing what you're doing. Chris Mancuso p.s. I like the longer hair thing you got going on. Lol

[@mikesawyer6742]

Right. 2 whole weeks. A year in and I’m still trying for 5 lbs. Mabey I could come to Florida?? Thanks for all you give us Roland I appreciate all you give me!!!

[@steveb1837]

Definitely need to come to Florida! I fish mostly neighborhood ponds and I usually catch atleast one 4lber or bigger everytime I go fishing and thats about 4 days a week for 2-3 hours each of those days

[@poodymeiner3125]

Come to Florida my brother. Hit a golf course or two, they’ll kick you off after awhile but I consistently catch 4+ pounders at my local golf course. If you have a boat, hit the st Johns or any of the lakes in southern Florida, the fishing here is amazinf

[@TrumpsEarBandage]

@@poodymeiner3125 I won 2 straight tournaments on St. John’s in my club. Caught big bass both times, 6 lb 8 oz last year and a 7lb 15oz this year. Toho and Harris have hawgs as well. Caught my PB 13lb 2oz on lake Conway a few years ago

[@douglasschmidt6873]

I saw you on lake Okeechobee Saturday the 12th I was fishing the outside of tin house you blew by around 1:30 I sat my rod down and removed my hat as you passed sir

[@steveb1837]

Gotta salute the chief of bass fishing

[@SkitzoSilva]

😂🤣🤣🤣

[@thequixoticangler3364]

1st night fishing trip last night. PB 3 times in a row! Thanks for the videos.

[@giefaankim]

Perfect timing on this video! I was just about to look up night fishing! Thanks, as always, roland #legend

[@ibanez2010]

Willow leaf for speed and flash, colorado for thump and waking the surface. Love 'em both!

[@loganmacgillivary2160]

I’m a big fan of your son and you keep up the good work I love your videos🇺🇸🎣🎣

[@cgharden1]

Love night fishing, just got to be a little more careful. I have caught my biggest fish at night.

[@maxrogers762]

Roland rocking that sweet bass boat hair-do!!💨💨😆😆

[@whosbruno8816]

Last night I went bass fishing at around 11pm. Pitch black outside, first day after the new moon. Tips from someone who night fishes a lot, SLOW DOWN on DARK NIGHTS. It’s hard for the fish to see at night anyway, burning a buzz bait with 0% moonlight is a tough bet to take. Only got one bite that night, but… it was the biggest bass I’ve ever seen in person. I live up North (Connecticut) so a 6-8lb bass is INSANE up here. It was that big. One big jump and he spit the hook :/

[@NineteenEighty8]

Bass can see great in the dark. They prefer to hunt in the dark because they have better eyesight than other fishes. Yeah it helps to slow down a bit, but not alot.

[@isaacbrascoupe]

Always the best teacher and I dare fishin buddy!!!🙏 Bless you and your family

[@RoKnRuiN]

I love night fishing! Can't wait.

[@wesleybigham1]

I’m gonna have to try some night fishing. Good stuff Mr. Martin

[@everydayjoe649]

One of my favorites along with Dance!

[@juddevans8043]

I just want to catch a 10 pound bass!!!!!!!!!

[@TrumpsEarBandage]

Golf course ponds are a good place to start. Where you live?

[@kylevodden19]

I’m going to try next year. Never fished in Florida. From northern Ontario. We have monster smallmouth. But Largies my favorite

[@nckhed]

I'd love to catch some smallies. They look like they fight ferociously.

[@chrisbramblett5611]

Great tips Roland ,i love nite fishing in the summer.two thumbs up...

[@SleepyJarl]

Roland is so knowledgeable - thank you sir !

[@saltyjoesfishing460]

You are the man Roland! Thank you for the lessons

[@paulb351]

Looking foward to the night fishing series Keep them coming Thanks for the info

[@H8er-Maker]

I've always done the same thing I do during the day. Keep it simple. I would have my reservations about night fishing in Florida. My luck I'd definitely catch a gator.

[@chasesturch1025]

I'm gonna miss this man

[@jamesdelaney3797]

Roland im 55 ive been night fishing for 20 years. Im in west palm, ive got 4 10 pounders out of the same lake fishing at night. CUght them all on 10 inch plus black worm

[@sonnyeast3862]

Roland, I caught a 10.1 and 12.9 back to back fishing for snook at night in south Florida just a couple weeks ago.I was using a 9” lipped plug.You would’ve loved it!

[@timothygu3]

Pics or it didn’t happen.

[@Bidwellz9]

I'm not out for 10 pounds im out for bag limit eating size. Same as deer, I'm there for meat not a trophy. But that's my heritage...love the tips though super helpful

[@kenneth9874]

Make yourself a trot line

[@FishingWithDamon]

Bass fishing is the best my favourite is striped bass but bass in general are just a crazy fish too catch the way they strike is super exciting I do my own KZbin as well except I am only 13 my goal is too engage our next generation into fishing 🎣 but your videos are better then mine your editing is just next level awesome 😊

[@jerryduncan9282]

Great lesson Roland been searching for video on night fishing

[@evelynlowery4521]

Roland be safe when fishing at night. Always have a friend with you.

[@JohnSattoCH]

Awesome video Mr Martin. Love it!👍👍

[@patricktrous]

I've always found a Zara spook to be a good nighttime bait. For big bass. You can hear it as you walk the dog and if you hear a splash it's time to set the hook!

[@pittsburghangler]

Not many good videos on this subject , so thank you!

[@secretswimbaits1813]

Love it Roland!!!! You’re the man! 🤙🎣

[@craigstevens9734]

Really got my attention thanks Rolland

[@ralo4265]

Good stuff Roland! 🌌 🎣 👊🏼💯🇺🇸 Thanks for the tips my friend!

[@davet6567]

Appreciate this video. I have been wanting to learn night time and how to.

[@mattyjay8896]

He's a great American fisherman he can fish anywhere!!🐐

[@wickedlokz1849]

Much appreciated bass tips thanks

[@brandonratcliff3065]

He's a great American fisherman.

[@davidgalloway904]

Awesome thanks for the coaching session!

[@kk-vk7uc]

This is all good for everywhere but Arizona lower lakes. Even Jimmy Houston has said fishing in Arizona is hard to do.

[@fredreese4178]

Roland, Wheeler Lake is in Alabama, just to remind you....lol.

[@mitsealb3609]

Great video, great info, and great ideas.

[@kckman52]

what bug repellant?

[@slagletoby]

Rolland will be frozen next to Ted Williams. What a legend!

[@sammyvh11]

Vampire fishing has always produced trophy Bass. Jitterbug

[@Mr.CJohnson]

5/8oz Black JOINTED Jitterbug!!!

[@fbiburneraccount]

GOD DAMN!!! Roland is the best.

[@masonburns1612]

I’ve fished lake fork many times at night and then hildebrandt spinner baits will have the bats swooping down on your rod tip

[@nckhed]

Wow, so they can hear the vibration of the rod tip? Pretty cool.

[@jeffreyrodgers5835]

Hey mr.martin. I grew up in Central Florida and we used to jigger pole fish with large pork rind. Tied to real string on a long canepole with a no more than 2ft leader of the string. Have u ever tried it.

[@richardmygatt2177]

Thanks Roland great information

[@mikee9464]

Thanks Roland!

[@Glock-1]

Does anyone make those spinnerbaits Roland? Or do you just have to build one?

[@apeacefulgrower]

Great stuff Roland, Keep Bending Rods and Rippin Lips 👍

[@jamesconnors5653]

Understood. Thank you much.

[@rockholiday7344]

Man fishing has been good to this guy,what is he 80? look at the head o hair on this fella,what an inspiration

[@yatesbaitstv6796]

1:18 priceless!!!

[@rylanadams7016]

What is an ideal moon phase for night fishing in the summer?

[@damian8mac8]

I love these lessons

[@michaelhoang2468]

Awe catching a 10lber is just a monthly thing for me. Jeez wish I could say that I can catch 1 every year or 2.

[@secretswimbaits1813]

Living Legend!!!!!!!!!

[@elsathedemonwolf1035]

Big bass at night no lie , caught a six pound large mouth at night , quiet power trolling a split tail rapala black and gold outside of the pads , oh yeah baby, it’s a Wisconsin lake so 6 pounds is a big deal 😎

[@Glock-1]

I love using the 6 inch senko’s

[@jporter504]

How do you keep the pesky little alligators from chasing down your top water lures? I have avoided hooking them in the daytime but there have been some close calls. At night, I am not sure I could do it. 👍

[@Glock-1]

Does Barry sell those spinner baits?

[@davidnewton3064]

I wonder what his personal best is.

[@nckhed]

He probably lost track by now. 😁

[@MappuC.Stenks]

If Rick Sanchez was a person

[@walkermco1]

Last time I night fished I got a tangle in my line, had to use my phones flashlight to see it to get it out, dropped my phone in the water, hopped out my kayak and grabbed it with my feet, then almost flip her just trying to get back in. I did, however, catch a nice 4 lber on a chatter bait. 11/10 would do again

[@williamcarr1678]

The monsters come out at night. Get your boots on and getter done. Yea haul!!!

[@northeastodc3921]

Thanx for posting!

[@duanejessee]

What lake is he fishing

[@rowdybroomstick1216]

Hildbrant#7 is only useable on a minimum of one ounce spinnerbaits, I know I have a package of them, should've bought the #6 package like he's showing here

[@creekrunner2078]

Black jitterbug is deadly at night

[@Dtronic2]

What time so you night fish at? Sunset to midnight? Or up at 2am to Sunrise?

[@fishingloverfish]

Love the vids

[@TheDorkgetreal]

If the plopper makes the same amount of noise as the spinner, then why use either or? I haven't had any luck at Jordan lake in NC with a plopper or spinner. I bank fish I don't have a boat.

[@kenneth9874]

The spinner will go through cover better

[@garylittle7960]

What is the best knot to use with braided line on buzz/spinner baits???

[@kenneth9874]

A 6 turn uni will do nicely

[@danielmarshall7285]

Night fishing , the best

[@truthfulharp6399]

yess sirrrr rolandddd

[@jabman549]

it would be cool to be his grandson....."let's go fishin'"

[@michaelduncan9551]

It will probably be another week or so before I catch another 10 pounder. Was he joking? Was that sarcasm?

[@robertsharp1214]

You are the The Somthi’n Big Son,,!!!!😎😀🌎🌈💦🏝🐊🌊🎣I Remember Watchi’ you On Your Home Lake “ The Unrivaled By Very Few, Te

[@robertsharp1214]

I’ve got to see you catch “ Some Big Bass” I’ll Never forget watching you catch at the time, on your show Backk in the Mid 80’s, you caught a “Big, Big Bass”…!!🇺🇸🌎👀🎣🌊🌊🌱🏝 and I heard you say, “O Son” Look What Fish, This may Be my Biggest I’ve Ever Caught”. I can’t help but think about The Great Doug Hannon as Well “BigSon”,,!!! Fishin A 6” Black Artificial Worm, On A “Big O’Olé Stout Rod & W/ Big Mono Man, THe Bass Professor…!!!!

[@stevemorton9585]

Rise on your left!

[@drewsims262]

Imagine a million pound bass

[@tonpul321]

the best

[@EDOGZ818]

I saw Roland on the river one day, we chatted & after few beers, I noticed he was catching Bass on a spinner bait...with "*NO*" trailer! I asked how could he do that? He replied that he didn't need a trailer...or even a lure & while empty handed except for the beer, he made a casting motion over the river & a 12lbs Bass jumped in the boat on it's own! :)

[@08mario08]

Did full moon matter when night fishing?

[@nckhed]

I think it usually turns the bite on big time.

[@dan776]

Full moon for dirty water lakes no moon for Clearwater lakes.

[@andrewjoseph1145]

3:34 something big jumped out behind you Damn

[@vandos11]

spinnerbait for me at night

[@heathpass3708]

Jitter bug Roland. Jitter bug

[@Cevan42]

65 lb braid? Wtf? Someone please explain why.

[@nckhed]

Heavy cover like hydrilla and lilly pads and whatnot.

[@Cevan42]

OK but if you used 30 pound braid, I find it hard to believe you're going to break that before breaking any rod you might be using.

[@FirstnameLastname-vy2dg]

Fishing that worm at nught just add some rattle
