ABC's of Devils Horse fishing! Big topwater bass!

[@Squatch34]

I love how all rolands vids r variations of either senko, devils horse, frog, or ploppers lol he knows what he likes to throw and he sticks to it

I reckon he's limited by the shallow Everglades.

[@matthargis9839]

I caught my first bass on one of these. Now I collect the oldest versions I can get my hands on. I have over 300 n my collection with a lot of them being made in the 50s and 60s

[@wesleybigham1]

Your instructions are on point. I like how you break everything down and explain everything. Thank you sir

[@lftdblazer]

Probably my all time favorite top water lure. I've fished 'em ever since I've known anything about fishing.

[@allenjohnson6605]

I've been watching you Jimmy, Bill for over 45 years and enjoyed it . I learned a ton from you guys. Thanks 😊

[@parrotbill9072]

You should come and fish in the Panhandle today. With 15" of rain and only 20mph winds, I'll be able to fish from my back porch in Tallahassee. WAHOO! 🤠👍

[@ziggyblue782]

Dang! That’s a lot of water. We’re so dry here, 15 inches of rain would have us dancing in the street. Well, swimming most likely but we’d take it.

[@cincinnatiking8008]

Thanks Roland, I caught my first fish on a Devil's Horse this morning. Your video helped me know how to work the bait.

[@BillyGlass117]

Don't thank us Roland, it's us viewer's who would love to say THANK YOU! Your working really hard for all of this great content.

[@myckee]

Wheeew SOOOoon !! Biiig Fish!!! Don't forget to kiss them big ol Bass, Roland!! Great video as always guys.

[@mikebailey2119]

Roland, nothing beats watching those bass smash that devils horse. Doubling that line is going to be a big help. Also should help not getting caught on the front hook.🎣🐟

[@Floridafisherman5000]

I caught a small bass on my Smithwick Devils Horse lure the other day for the first time!! Was really awesome!!! I'm sold on it!!

[@jeffreypsl1]

Roland was my inspiration to start bass fishing!! I learned so many tips, tricks, and techniques from this man. Thank you Roland!!

[@kenmccarthyfishing]

Wow I haven’t fished the Devils Horse since the 90’s,awesome job Roland 💪👍🔥

[@keepingitreel6319]

I learned from you watching your videos n caught 2 big Bass with the spinner bait 👍🏽

[@jessehillis7830]

Man roland you are so full of knowledge its unreal! Thank you for always sharing your wisdom with us and showing us how to use your favorite lures!! Love it man!!

[@jackene415]

Thanks for another great video

[@chriscarroll3635]

With a front and back spinner you would think it would make more commotion than it does. Barely does anything. I used to use a nip-i-diddee and I caught some giants when I was young. Loved that lure.

[@Cogdellboy]

Another Great video !!! Lots of topwater action!!! Love to fish the Devilshorse .. Need to modify mine to two hooks.. Never liked the light hooks that come on them ... Keep'em coming Roland .. Love your teaching videos .. Always short and full of Good info and full of action ...

[@rickyhenry4958]

Thanks for the video Roland!

[@Kingtiger15-s3k]

Nice video I been wearing bass out on the devil horse!

[@stratagem_5113]

Bullfrog 1/2 oz. has been my favorite for years. Just like you say Roland. Been fishing it the same way , I will every now and then give it a double twitch... LOL. Devil's Horse, Zara Spook, and Pop R all I ever used. I am old school I guess...

[@seiglerd]

Hey Roland! That ol devils horse is the deal! Definitely gonna have to get one of those see if they like it out on the st johns river. Great video much respect

[@papaduck2443]

Great info Roland. Just bought me one of those lures about a month ago. I will deploy your tips next time I hit the water.

[@SWCFLORIDA]

Great video. I’m still stalking you around all the lakes until I meet you. I’m on it.

[@theadventuresofcaptainover1494]

Hey Roland I live in Australia in QLD and we have great fishing but I love those big ole USA bass especially were you live on lake Ochechobe... it's is a magic place and i will get there one day.. I love your tips and tricks and the way you show folks.. love your vids son.. keep em coming son.. 👍🧜‍♂️

[@davidalbero2485]

Every time I see your video, if I can, I take the car and go to a reservoir that takes 30 minutes to fish.. Thanks for your passion

[@valeriepowell1736]

Wow Roland, you are an amazing teacher. I've watched your son and grand daughter and they are great anglers... It's Val I've had company for the last two weeks. I've only saltwater fished and worked on a deep sea fishing boat. It was kind of like drop a line... there is so much technic in bass or lake fishing. I would love to learn.... I might be to old...lol. I haven't forgot about you at all. Love it and God Bless Valerie

I came in second place in a tournament primarily using a devil’s horse. And most of the fish were caught along a hydrilla edge.

Rowland do you have a devils toothpick I loved that bait and was po ed when smithwick quit making it

[@RolandMartinOutdoors]

No

[@williamlaws2353]

Roland ever fish the Ma Scooter it was a killer I know you used butternut on your handmade bait. Maybe you should try cedar

[@baronvongrimm4780]

I don't understand what you mean by double line. I just bought a devils horse because of your video. Thanks

[@jamescaspersamanthalintner4767]

Roland I recently read an article on florida bass. In the article they were discussing that research has indicated that florida strain large mouth are a stand alone species and not a sub species of the northern strain. Have your heard any talk about this being so familiar with florida bass? I've often thought that they had distinct characteristics that set them apart

[@RolandMartinOutdoors]

True

[@jamescaspersamanthalintner4767]

@@RolandMartinOutdoors very cool. A video on the difference between the two species would be extremely interesting! I've seen no one do this yet on youtube, thanks for replying boss

How do you tie the “double line” mentioned at 1:17 in the video?

Never mind. I listened again and heard “Bimini Twist” so I googled it and found out how to tie it.

[@mattcurrie3862]

Does anyone else notice the gator at 4:55? Roland probably sees them all the time so he's uninterested in it.

Sir, can u share your setup ? you reel, rod and everything else, if u don't mind.

[@ricardonercolini6053]

Roland, how about colors? Do they realy make a diference in topwater fishing lures?

[@RolandMartinOutdoors]

I like to match the hatch

[@jeffellenberger6533]

I have heard that you have to pause for a couple seconds before you set the hook... could you please explain how long and how this works?? Thanks for all your videos I've recently done very well on the senko due to your videos!!

[@RolandMartinOutdoors]

I don't pause on topwater, just the worm for I'm fishing a high rod and I have to lower it to set the hook!

how often do you need to replace your hooks on lures to keep them sharp?

Keep checking them

I've been fishing for L.M bass for a solid 45 years and he sounds pretty on point to me . i.m.o.p

[@jerrylanglois7892]

@@drinkthekoolaidkids I've been bassin for 58 yrs. and learned, like the great rick clunn said, there are no absolutes in fishing. I don't mean to knock roland martin but I've caught bass in every way opposite to what roland claims is the best to fish the '' devils horse '' : 1 - '' super slow retrieve '' ... caught bass on a straight '' buzzing '' retrieve, 2 '' clear water... caught them in muddy water as well, 3 '' warm water ''... caught them in cold water ( 45 degrees ), '' calm water ''... caught them in choppy water, '' low light conditions ''... some of my best days were under bluebird skies. I've learned to let the fish tell me what they want, not what I think they want.
