If I had but one lure to fish, what would it be?

[@christooofishingwithchrist5380]

Before even clicking on the vid, I knew it was the senko😂

[@nilborne1]

me too

[@eastonwaits1964]

Yup the 297 green pumpkin senko texas rig

[@buyjuance6043]

And the Gary Yamamoto senkos story lol

[@27dirtyh]

Exactly

[@getoffmylawn8986]

Ditto. But he's right, they're awesome.

[@bigggdub7434]

Ive never ever caught a fish on a senko!!Lo and behold i got off work today,watched this video and found that very bait in my tackle box.I went to the river and BAM caught 3 smallmouth back to back to back!!! Thanx Roland!!!

[@wolverinex4243]

You need the original. The fake ones are not the same.

[@topherd1011]

“That’s some good weed..”. -Roland Martin- Hehe just playin around Roland. Love you and what you’ve done for this sport man :)

[@drewscagnetti6225]

I used to watch Roland on Canadian cable TV when I was a kid.. so nice to see him doing well and still fishing.. #Roland #Bassfishing

[@xdxdxdxd1643]

He is still at it in his 80's. Honestly He has to be one of the greatest looking 80 year old out there.

[@blakebarnett5078]

I really love the way you teach. Reminds me of my grandfather only man I've ever seen fill a cooler with crappie while nobody else was catching them. He didn't care to eat the other fish so he didn't fish for them. Only man I've ever seen furnish a fish fry for 100 people with crappie year after year. Now me and my brother developed a love for bass fishing and you have helped so much. Had the chance to fight some big bass. Now I have 2 boys and a girl of my own and my oldest is about as serious about it as anyone I've ever seen. I'm here watching to learn and teach him. Thank you !

[@newmennium]

"that's some really good weed" 😂

[@SWCFLORIDA]

Yes Florida has some very good weed.............beds 👌😃

[@MrBigbadbuck]

I’m sorry just hearing Roland talking about his favorite weeds cracks me up 😂

[@ansonyt3966]

Lol imagine being those two dudes and walking up on the legend Roland Martin...

[@jeffstacklebox]

Bank walking, one rig, baits in a pocket with a pouch of spare hooks. Yeah, that works. Nicely done sir, great way to spend time enjoying simple fishing.👍

[@bonjones8175]

It pays to know your weeds 😁😁

[@andrewrafferty1670]

It’s his favorite weed 😂🤝

[@salonzo1978]

[@tannergeorge1462]

If I had just 1 coach :: hands down it would be you Roland down through the years I have tuned my fishing to your teaching ethics thanks brother

[@Gonewithjon]

Just made it to the end of the video. So glad you included other fisherman you ran into. Awesome content

[@mattyg5566]

Florida looks amazing! Reminds me of the Delta out here in CA!

[@stag3t-muspsa910]

Been a fan for 40 years and still a fan...would love to fish you you some day...on bucket list

[@TheDude1776]

Roland is my go to because he is one of the few that gives an instructional video and actually catches fish to prove what he is teaching.

[@MrGogogordo]

Senko! Got that right son!! Thank you Roland! You da GOAT!

[@robertpapps5383]

Roland , love your down to earth presentation, all the best to you!

[@adammurray215]

That's so AWESOME!!!! 11:03 "that's a strike. Watch this." BAM. Too cool Mr. Roland. Love these videos

[@skyiestosunsetrise2886]

Thank you Mr Martin for another senko video...can't wait for the next in a different area....love your videos sir, please in the name of senkos. KEEP THEM COMINNNNN🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@dandorris8531]

You are awesome. Use to watch you growing up but stoped fishing for a long time. I’m back at it.

[@chrisshreve1736]

Awesome fishing Roland!!!

[@nahnisjourney1406]

Hi, Roland, I'm enjoying watching you fish! I used to watch you, Bill Dance, and Jimmy Houston as a teenager in Memphis, Tennessee. I'm glad I found you all on KZbin! I didn't know it was had to catch one on the first cast. You guys have really inspired me to fish again. hope don't do alligators, snakes, or spiders. Thank you for all the teaching you do. I hope you don't snatch the like off those little bass! LOL!😂. I didn't know you could melt, mold, and reuse the worms. Good deal! Thanks! Be well. Be blessed and safe.

[@WantedPiratesTCG]

Hey Roland! Great stuff!! It seems that Lots of these places you fish tend to be more secluded and have less pressured fishing. It’d be great to see an episode with tips and tricks for pressured pond or lake fishing. Thanks and wish you well

[@RolandMartinOutdoors]

I'm really lucky here in Florida for I constantly research new, out of the way places to fish that aren't being pressured, you can do the same by looking at Google Maps and checking out the hundreds of bodies of water near you from farm ponds to little creeks to big lakes!

[@piratestudiosproductions]

We can hear your belly growling in the mic LOL. Still love you Roland.

[@creekrunner2078]

I thought that was a frog

[@PawpiChoolo]

Time stamp?

[@drmitofit2673]

He's right about line watching. This morning I was fishing a jig with a 4" worm trailer. Felt a bump that I thought was just a twig, but my line moved sideways, so I set the hook. Result: my best bass of the year 22.5" 6.9 lbs. Thanks Roland!

[@raka-ka-ka9818]

They was biting good this morning! I caught two 2 pounders. I bet that hog you hooked put up a fight!

[@aresvk1974]

Thank You Roland! I learn tons with your videos. I have been fishing Bass since one year ago and a lot of my captures are thanks to your master lessons. I send a big big hug to you from Madrid and sorry for my english.

[@saulroman6009]

I'm telling you Mr Roland the senko never fails!! My favorite lure ever!! Can't go fishing without my senkos!!

[@aljones238]

Thanks Roland 297 green pumpkin sold out everywhere. They work! Thanks for sharing that I've been doing well so far this year with it only!

[@aaronruhl5635]

Roland your absolutely right!!!! I live in oregon and 5 in green pumkin is money! Love the updates.

[@bradleyknowles6885]

Everywhere you go Roland even in the middle of the Everglades people know who you are. Keep up the great work love the videos.

[@Domthedon33]

[@unclebear77]

One of my childhood hero's would love to fish with you sometime. I'm in Tallahassee FL

[@AntonioGarcia-un5us]

Thank you very much Mr. Martín, your explanations are perfect. Best regards from Spain.

[@rotho282]

It would be nice to see Roland Martin fishing in my neck of the woods...

[@gotem358]

💯.... I knew it was gonna be the Senko.. I fell in love with the Senko after watching your show, my Teacher.... Best Lure ever.... Learn all my techniques on using it from watching your show... My bag have 3 pack of Senkos along with 1 bag of Cowboys, flappN Hog, single and double tail, Mermaid and now that Zako with my chatterbait or spinner or just by itself... Love watching your videos from 80's and still going... thank you always my Teacher...

[@classicamericanoldman1091]

Love ya Roland. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@Casting_not_catching]

5” 297 green pumpkin senko. I guessed it before I even watched, just from watching his videos. I wouldn’t know how to fish it without him

[@genrlgadget]

Another great video. Keep 'em coming, Roland!

[@bryanmoore3051]

Before I even watched the video...I knew roland was going to say a green pumpkin Senko. He preaches it for a reason....when in doubt I know I can get a bite on a senko. Thank Roland!

[@Paul-it1oz]

Howdy Rowland love your videos!! Testing the Senko 5" green pumpkin 297 worm this week. Going with a Texas Rig. Also watched your video on making Senko's. Bought the mold and injector and now waiting to collect enough old Senko's to melt down and try it out. Keep up the awesome videos!!!!!

[@johnjacobus2018]

Nice job on this video. Made me feel like I was fishing there with you, And a lot of advice in it to, Thank you.

[@josephpecoul6532]

Saw you on lunkers glad to be a part of the channel

[@lmsmbassaddict7779]

Now that's a friendly fellow. Roland don't care if your green with purple fleck he's gonna show you respect and chop it up with you. Fishing brings out the best in people.

[@michaelmilhollin426]

I remember back in the early 80's on one of Rolands fishing video , he mentioned that his #1 bait was " the invincible plastic worm". Still true all these years later!I also remember watching many tv fisherman like VirgIl Ward,homer circle Bill Dance,Jimmy Huston.but Roland is the best. Still has the fishing bug like a 15 year old kid!.

[@tbonilla6922]

You’re looking great Roland!

[@jerrydilley6689]

Don't forget the spinnerbait Roland!!! You always do awesome job sir.

[@RolandMartinOutdoors]

I love Spinnerbaits in slightly off colored , cool windy conditions

[@thereelreyheel172]

Roland I sure do appreciate you showing how to fish with a senko.

[@davidwright1093]

The Senko is a great bait. Thanks Roland.

[@whittamps]

You taught me to watch line two years ago. I catch more fish for certain. Entertainment and education!

[@williamshowardjr750]

Nice show Roland, The Senko works good here too. Stuart

[@jesseshumaker2718]

This is why I'm moving to florida when I retire. god that water looks good.

There won't be florida when you retire.

[@pakde8002]

You can't beat Florida for fishing. So many opportunities and year round.

[@SWCFLORIDA]

I moved to Okeechobee from NC 4 uears ago...should have done it 25 years ago

[@EatShredSleep87]

I think mine would be a Panther Martin spinner. That way, I can catch everything from tiny pan fish to huge lunkers ☺️

[@piyachetty3023]

Great video Roland love it especially when the winds blow over 25mph "GO HOME"🎣🇿🇦👍😁

[@deebrennan8800]

Hello Mr. Martin. My name is Dee and I live in south Florida. I was born and raised right here! My family is commercial fisherman so saltwater fishing is in my blood but, with all the restrictions on saltwater fish, my best friend and I decided to go bass fishing. He has done it some in his life time but I have never. We have fished every inch of freshwater canals near and around our house with no luck. (We live on Pine Island just north of the Everglades). We watch all your videos to try to learn from the best. We made the ride to the Everglades twice now with no luck (remember we are rookies at this freshwater fishing). Where are you when you make these videos? Our could you give us some sound advice on how to get ‘er done? I have fell in love with freshwater fishing and have invested a good amount of money into gear (all based on your recommendations) 😉. Me. Martin please help. Any and all info is greatly appreciated.

[@julianbfishing9810]

I was hoping it was going to be the helicopter lure. Found some in a childhood box the other day. Need to make video using them, Roland you in?

[@Oldvolks44]

Ahhh ha! You knew that was coming. All hail the senko 297! He’s got It, yes he’s got it!!!! 😂🤣😂 Rolands favorite weed he’s ever found. Peppergrass 😂🤣😂

[@loganmurden4180]

I loved the part with the two guys, really made the video. I would’ve not been as calm lol.

[@bradleycloman6836]

i could watch you fish all day roland.awesome stuff.very instructional.

[@bluehornet6752]

Must be a great spot! I remember you did a video in the same spot a couple of years ago, and you caught an 8lb (or so) fish on a frog. There was a small alligator there too, but he didn't want to be interviewed...

[@George-pf8zb]

Nice video, Roland. Thanks!

[@Funboy870]

I'm with you my friend! The first cast curse is a real thing.

[@samtate1260]

Remember back in 80s early 90s when some of the fishing shows used divers to put fish on there lines when they were not biting I remember babe Winkleman had a woman Guest talking about it great video Roland keep them coming

[@coloradodirtbike5930]

I call bullshit on that... They arent sitting in diving gear with bass and hooking them under the water for show.

[@RolandMartinOutdoors]

I used to use trained bass I would buy from Disney world at about 5,000 each!

[@jmpapucci]

Nothing beats a senko,I love catching BASS with the Yamamoto ❤️😁,thank you for the Lessons on the senko,We❤️ya Roland

[@skyiestosunsetrise2886]

Yea 2 weeks ago..I caught 9 bass on the 297, then Sunday I caught 7 bass😅😅 man I am a true believer in the senko...now I fish wish nothing else...love em..thanks martin

I agree Roland! I fish the Senco green pumpkin all the time and I catch bass!! If I had a second lure it would be the Bandbito bug green pumpkin!

[@stevehogan8829]

Hey Roland, been through a bunch of your vids today... Sinkos, worm rigs, frogs... Taking advantage of your teaching skills. Trying to polish up my fishing skills. Thank you Sir.

[@HankAaronJoseph19]

Lipless crank bait is the most versatile. Literally year round lure. You can vertical jig it ice fishing or rip it through grass in July

[@adampeplau3998]

I could watch him all day🙂

[@kurtzbradley]

I feel like I should be a Patreon….his channel is a master class and then some. Man would I love to take my son fishing with him what an experience.

[@VeddeRob]

As a Florida bank fisherman I agree with the plastic worm but the senko costs too much and tears too easily for my taste - they do work well though. That said, I always have a pack of (297s) in my backpack when I fish.

[@ZacMacFishing]

Senko’s good, but my go-to is the tube.

[@johnzeetee6747]

We love ya Roland, love ya Roland, love Roland, love ya Roland.......

[@msd0060]

Can you do a video on how you see the strike? Is it always just watching the line, or what are you feeling? You seem to call it and set the hook perfectly every time.

[@highestvotedcomment]

*Finally gets a slightly big one* "There's one! There's one. There's a good one. I got a big one" *Immediately throws it back*

[@johnryan296]

Roland good to see you here at you tube. Love watching the videos and the technical comments on how to. I actually watched this video this am, then ran out to Dick's to get that Pumpkin Senko! I probably have them already but you can never have to much tackle. Keep up the good work.

[@Gonewithjon]

The video quality of this video was next level. Nice work

[@Valetic6]

It is very consistent, indeed, but it does not “work” in the summer except as a back up when you whiff your cast or lose your lure in the honey hole.

[@peacockpaulwall6729]

Legend dropping knowledge awesome 🙌🏼

[@Mrfluefiske]

Sir, you are a legend back her in Norway. Several of my fishing friends are watching your videos these days, getting flashbacks from "back in the TV days" with Roland Martin.Thank you so much for all the videos. All the best, Eivind B, Norway. Btw; did you ever try out "Alex Langer´s Flying Lure"? They worked great on "red fin perch" here in Norway.
