[@Nunyabidness20]

Love ya guys thanks for a great childhood memory of the excitement knowing your shows were comming on, I was not pushed to bass fishing it just always intrigued me, it chose me and i accepted the challenge! Thanks again great video!

[@admobeer9551]

I have 15 years on you and I feel exactly the same way. I used to love watching those guys on T.V. and couldn't wait to put another lure in the water. Good Times!

[@ReidGriffin080]

Same here! I'm 43 and you are still the man! Thank you Sir!

[@JH70173]

Don't forget Richard Gene the Fishing Machine, if you've seen him. He's hoot!

[@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!

[@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

[@Webesmackinbass]

That's cause all he does is fish lol

[@jonathandoerry3185]

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

[@aaronisham9700]

I wish

[@quill1260]

Right????

[@brad6420]

LoL really!! I was thinking yeah maybe once or twice a year for him, maybe once a lifetime for me if ever!

[@assholebynature888]

MAJOR FLEX

[@travisbruno1988]

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

[@ziggyblue782]

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

[@manofthehour1983]

Hands down best narrator when it comes to fishing just love how candid you are . Been watching since childhood with my Old man and now im 40 and hes 75 - still enjoying as kuch as ever!

[@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!

[@decodyg484]

He's answering the questions I haven't asked out loud yet lol

[@Nixon316]

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

[@hbarwickjr]

Great video Roland. I took meticulous notes and your costing me money "again." 😎🎣

[@Tbowie13]

All these guys cost me money...and lots of it. Oliver Ngy (Big Bass Dreams channel) has cost me at least $4000 this spring, between big swimbaits/glidebaits and rods/reels to throw them on. It's easy to see why companies sponsor them!

[@hillbilly_ninja7660]

Hey who said hobbies was cheap lol

[@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

[@goodoldbubba6620]

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

[@loganmacgillivary2160]

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

[@thequixoticangler3364]

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

[@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

[@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!!

[@roysaari3028]

Thanks Roland…can’t wait to see some night videos!! Enjoy every day!!

[@maxrogers762]

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

[@giefaankim]

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

[@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]

😂🤣🤣🤣

[@j.m.k.3406]

Roland I grew up in Florida Ever since braid came out, that's what I've used People up here(Indiana) , well most I know still rockin mono...I just can't. Puts the hammer down on bass, in any cover. Thanks for being you bud

[@isaacbrascoupe]

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

[@ibanez2010]

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

[@everydayjoe649]

One of my favorites along with Dance!

[@cgharden1]

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

[@Darryl-k7y]

I love fishing plastic worms at night!I have done this in Charleston SC for 41yrs much fun!you have to really be ready for a strike!

[@Two_Buck]

Roland has still got it. I've been watching him forever.

[@wesleybigham1]

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

[@chrisbramblett5611]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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 😊

[@RoKnRuiN]

I love night fishing! Can't wait.

[@juddevans8043]

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

[@TrumpsEarBandage]

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

[@johnhopkins947]

You are the man I’ll be up at Palm Bay for a week in July looking forward to trying night fishing

[@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.

[@SleepyJarl]

Roland is so knowledgeable - thank you sir !

[@shotsfired1106]

Thanks Roland! Im out now on the coarse and watching this fishing at night! ⛳ 🎣

[@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

[@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.

[@seang1032]

I live in south Florida about 45 minutes from Roland Martin's fish camp. I like using frogs and loud topwater baits at night but I always have lick with one method. Try a 12" ribbontail worm at night. I'll use a Texas rig with a small bullet weight. I fish it parallel to the bank running it like a buzz bait and the weight comes in handy when I bring the bait to an opening in the weeds and let it sink down for a few seconds before burning it back up to the surface.

[@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.

[@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.

[@ralo4265]

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

[@KeithTaylorPhoto]

My biggest was a 9 lb 12oz largemouth that I caught on a black Buzz King buzz bait with a black blade, around midnight, in a large farm pond in North Florida. Have it mounted and hanging on the wall. Night fishing is my favorite for bass.

[@kennethlangford5797]

Hey Roland good video as always I wondered if you could possibly reply with your thoughts on moon phase for night fishing obviously a bright moon makes it easier to see but does it make a difference for the fish

[@JohnSattoCH]

Awesome video Mr Martin. Love it!👍👍

[@Mr.CJohnson]

Hey there Roland! Have you ever tried night fishing with a Fred Arbogast 5/8oz JOINTED Jitterbug, black in color?? It is the greatest night fishing lure ever!! Here in Northeastern Wyoming the bass aren't able to get as big as they do in other regions, HOWEVER, I have caught countless 4-6lb large AND smallmouth bass, and 4 Largemouth weighing in over 7lbs a piece (21 1/2" or so!!) Doesn't get any better than.that!! Btw, I have found NEW MOON nights to be WAY more productive than their FULL MOON counterparts.... How 'bout you??

[@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

[@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!

[@albertsmith792]

Lake Garcia, my home lake for years now. I have probably a hundred night trips on this lake and the nights vary for sure. Caught a 11.5 one night out there and countless bass from 6 to 8 lbs. Awesome body of water.

[@davet6567]

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

[@chasesturch1025]

I'm gonna miss this man

[@craigstevens9734]

Really got my attention thanks Rolland

[@lindahall2478]

You love doing them and I love watching them ! Roland in Florida do you ever night fish in Jan Feb and March ?.How about water temperature? Also do you fish right into the dark or do you wait for the fish to adjust to the dark?

[@davidgalloway904]

Awesome thanks for the coaching session!

[@daver8631]

Can you do more night fishing vids and more in depth in detail moon phases all that stuff

[@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

[@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.

[@secretswimbaits1813]

Love it Roland!!!! You’re the man! 🤙🎣

[@Glock-1]

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

[@brandonratcliff3065]

He's a great American fisherman.

[@stephaniefetters7568]

Night fishing! Yay Roland!

[@pittsburghangler]

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

[@fredreese4178]

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

[@mattdillion4999]

Hey Roland , question ❓ Do Florida fish get thirsty ❓

[@slagletoby]

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

[@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. 👍

[@mitsealb3609]

Great video, great info, and great ideas.

[@richardmygatt2177]

Thanks Roland great information

[@apeacefulgrower]

Great stuff Roland, Keep Bending Rods and Rippin Lips 👍

[@mattyjay8896]

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

[@diychad7268]

I always hear ya want your buzz bait to be NOISEY!!! Well is a squeaking sound along with the chug good or do you not want that squeekyness

[@kckman52]

what bug repellant?

[@kerryappleton8067]

I live in Ohio,caught a 9.5 pound large mouth,a couple 8's had to go to Florida to catch a ten,bass paradise that Florida is!

[@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

[@wickedlokz1849]

Much appreciated bass tips thanks

[@robcarey4189]

Coffee grinder or fishing reel?... Great info sir! Treat yourself to a Daiwa

[@kenneth9874]

Many years ago my friend's brand new diawa lasted for a grand total of 1 nice redfish

[@kk-vk7uc]

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

[@rylanadams7016]

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

[@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.

[@sammyvh11]

Vampire fishing has always produced trophy Bass. Jitterbug

[@Mr.CJohnson]

5/8oz Black JOINTED Jitterbug!!!

[@gkell92]

Will you cover not getting lost?

[@Glock-1]

I love using the 6 inch senko’s

[@VinnyHotsauce]

Really appreciate the videos!

[@prestonc.4705]

Roland you fished at my dads golf course it was Lely resort he is Trent and you fished with my uncle chefo

[@damian8mac8]

I love these lessons

[@hillbillytarzan]

I had a good one that was or near double digits the other night and my buddy had the net and couldn’t net it. I do it by myself most the time. I did order a larger net.

[@fbiburneraccount]

GOD DAMN!!! Roland is the best.

[@ArizonaPondPickles]

Doug hannon says the biggest bass are always caught in mid day during a blue sky day. Bill dance will say blue bird days knock bass off balance. Roland Martin says big bass bite at night.

[@swaybaggutte4190]

I'm a kayak Fishing guy I can't afford a boat.. I couldn't imagine fishing stick March at night those gators are huge they're dinosaurs... Matter of fact I haven't been to Stick Marsh in about a year... Last time I was there during summer i was challenge by probably 20 different Gators over 10 ft and had to troll lures behind me so they would bite them instead of going for me.. all in the pursuit of catching a double digit Bass.. just throwing it out there I think they need to start thinning out the gator population in there.

[@mikee9464]

Thanks Roland!

[@Dtronic2]

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

[@Glock-1]

Does Barry sell those spinner baits?

[@weldon9254]

Ol’ Pat Cullen teaching Roland a trick or two…

[@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

[@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.
