If you go into the elites with the same attitude you did this one, Scott, you'll have a blue trophy in no time. Been cheering you on for what feels like a decade or more. You got this buddy. It would also be sick to see the OG FLW crew all make the elites.

[@BB_Fishing22]

Congratulations on the win Scott!! This has been a journey for a little while coming but I’m glad you put it together and stuck it out!! Thanks for never giving up, praise the lord for this, and keep at it!! I wish you the best of luck in the rest of your tournaments and you have inspired me to keep going no matter what!! Best of luck in the rest of your tournaments don’t give up and stay at it!!

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

Thanks so much!! 🙏🙏🙏

[@motoguru6023]

You’ve always given glory to God in all you do. He blessed you with this one brother. He knows your heart.

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

🙏🙏🙏

[@bertparod4748]

Best compliment I can give you is...your any easy guy to root for! Humble family man. With good work ethic. Congratulations on your win!

[@terranceleonard960]

I grow up watching your dad fish in the bassmater tournaments in the 80s always and still is a fan and real true fan of bass fishing

[@heavenawaits7663]

Congrats Scott!! Wow I’ve been watching you for about 6-7 years and what I love the most is your faith in God. He’s blessing you and it’s great to see someone give Jesus the credit on the big stage. Such a real person. My bucket list involves fishing a day with you on your home lake. Maybe one day I will be blessed with that. Couldn’t have happened to a better man and his family 🙏🏼

[@jasondaniels209]

GOOOD F’N job Scotty on your win on a home lake and breaking records brotha. The unfinished family business is almost complete. Awesome job bubba. AWESOME JOB! One step closer to handing pop that trophy. You deserve it man. And I’m truly glad you got it done on your home lake.

[@user-rm6mi3rl9b]

Loved the video Scott! So glad you won the tournament!! Been watching for many years always love it when you post a tournament video! Good luck this year!

[@ElitexxChicken]

That P-Line no fade is the real deal. My favorite by far. Congratulations on the Opens win!! Now get a blue trophy this year. Praying for you

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

It’s good stuff!

Thank you Jeff

[@jeffstanley8479]

@@ScottMartinChallenge Keep up the great work Scott !! You’re living my dream !!! I’ve learnt so much off you over the past years watching your fishing videos! If I ever get a chance to come down to Florida I’ll for sure be making a stop at the Martin Marina for some jaw jerkin! Until then I’ll be up here in OTT 🇨🇦 making my own soft plastic baits and catching the big ones in the back country!!

[@rogerglasco5941]

Wish you well. All of us here in Babson Park on Crooked Lake are behind you.

[@colt110987]

Just wanted to congratulate you Scott! You’re always my pick on the “O” and I grew up thinking that lake was a magical place! It’s good to see that it still is brother. Praying for the family, looking forward to the Elites!

[@jakestetson7770]

[@johnmooney5223]

Scott I have been following you and dad for over 30 years fishing on the Big O. I haven’t fished competitively in the last few years but I remember post cold front can be tough. Your slow down approach was the culmination of all those years of hard work. Congrats to you and the Martin family. Well done!👏

[@johnnythompson1055]

You will do great Scott

[@richwisefishing4434]

[@fivekeepersfishing9050]

Man, I’ve been watching you for a long time and the calmness you carried through practice and the tournament would literally scare me if I was a competitor! Couldn’t be happier for you and your family! It takes all of you to make something like this happen. Can’t wait to watch you the rest of the year!

[@williamdeel377]

[@BenC-77]

A whole entire Elite Season ahead of you where you dont have to stress about the Classic. Good season ahead!!

[@98kutch]

I went on a trip with Captain Justin a couple of years ago. Really enjoyed the marina and bait shop, hoping to get back down there with him again in the next year.

[@coltpwrs7]

Finally can’t wait for these videos.. just when people thought Scott was falling off.. he sets multiple records in one event. Insane

[@lannyluckyj3227]

Good luck, Scott. On the elites this year, I hope to meet you in Indy sometime.

[@Everydayfishing]

Love getting to see the thought process during practice! "Make the right decision" was something you repeated over and over - it definitely seems like at the top level, the mentality of the angler and the decision-making ability really start to outweigh even the fishing skills. And you definitely were on top of your game and made the right decisions! Awesome stuff!

[@RIVERCITYOUTDOORS]

Congratulations, man!! I have been following you for a while, and I don't even bass fish. I make a living from fishing too so I watch for the competitive part. Awesome video. My boys love them googan baits!!

[@BassRaider]

What a difference a year makes, huh? The highs and lows of fishing. You struck out last year on the big "O" and hit it out the park this year! Congrats Uncle Scott..lol. You see what happens when you stop over analyzing and overthinking. Put your head down and fish with patience and confidence the rest of this year on the Elites and good things will happen, I promise. God bless you and your family during this up and coming season..🙏
