[@wesleyosburn6789]

Me and you both roland and bill dance

[@MrGogogordo]

Roland, I love how at about the 12 minute mark, right after you’ve caught a fish, and you’re talking about swirling fish, there’s a big swirl right behind you!! Did you see that? OOOOOHH SON! I’ve been a subscriber since the beginning. Staying till the end. Please keep the knowledge and content coming! Cheers!

[@captrockh2055]

Big, Little, never caught a fish I didn't like. 👍 - Nice Video Roland

[@rosshall312]

Wow I feel like it's 1988 watching tnn on Sat morn ,. Keep teaching n Makin videos !! 😎

[@imtired06]

I'm a bigener to fishing and I want to thank you for helping me learn alot and I'm 8th

"A little bitty sucky deal!" ❤️🤣

[@deangruwell6555]

Grew up with you in the 80s .. congratulations 🎊🎉🍾 in over 110k ... great that your teaching the younger generations .. you taught me when young 😎😉

[@ifragpsn6431]

Roland's fear of lightning is hilarious, and it just makes the rest of his enthusiasm seem so genuine. This dude wears his heart on his sleeve and catches fish!

[@Vulcaneer900]

It is good to have a healthy fear of lightning.! Especially while holding a fishing pole in your hand in Florida.! 🌩️🌩️🌩️

[@eastonwaits1964]

Im a young angle and i really learn alot from you thanks!!

[@waynethompson5667]

That boat you have there may be able to out run lighting 😎

[@jeremymricci]

I would love nothing more than to fish Okeechobee with Roland Martin..... LEGEND!

[@jameschrisdavis]

I noticed in your last video that you were slimming down. Great job Roland!!!!!!!!!!!

[@APchef2000]

Hey Roland, My name is Adam Powers. I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer three years ago. In the time since I’ve really gotten addicted to fishing. I was lucky enough to be taken our for a private lesson one day with Edwin Evers and one day with Jacob Wheeler. I can’t tell you how much I’ve learned watching your videos. They truly have taught me so much and are almost like meditation watching them. I just wanted to let you know how much you’ve helped me. Thank You Adam

[@proassassin8473]

Drooling over that boat. My God. I would live on it.

[@xtraflo]

Wish this could go on for another 20 years... With all the controversy going on these days, a simple channel that talks about fishing is a Relief .. !

[@chaddwhitaker607]

You look great... love ur content.. have learned a lot of tips from you.. please keep them coming!!

[@sammyvh11]

You must not be on any medications Roland. The meds are worse than the disease. God Bless. Shout out from Maryland and your old stomping grounds.

[@JohnVC]

Roland, you look healthy, sonnnnnnn! That bit about positivity is so true. If you haven't had a bite for an hour, you drop your rod tip, don't watch the line, start checking your phone with your bait in the water, etc. There's no reason to cast a line out without the intention of getting a bite!

[@fabiosor]

Nice video maninho, you should come to Brazil to fish some tucunarés !

[@ncimson5318]

Mr.Martin you mustve caught all the bass at okeechobee haha..Thank you sir for sharing and that new boat sure looks like it can also fly

[@jjdjdjdjdjdjjdjde333]

Wind picked up when he started topwater and after the ad, it’s calm lol. I wanna get one of those 8 pounders

[@paulrowe4502]

Did Roland mention what power his rods were for the swim jig and chatter bait set ups in this video?

[@jontrahan493]

“Everybody is happy and the fish are biting!” Don’t get much better than that!!

[@toddsgreatoutdoors4226]

So happy and thankful for you ,Jimmy Houston and AL Lindne....This world truly needs mentors like you guys!

[@phillamoore157]

Amen to that... Those are the forefathers of when fishing was about catching fish, as opposed to pushing buttons, or $25 baits. I remember when Al Linder did the demo of the very first weird, foreign, "doo-higgy", called a "trolling motor". What us old guys grew up with doesn't even remotely resemble what this industry is today, which now caters to people who can afford $100K bass boats, decked out with $25K worth of electronics, all so you can find a weed line, or patch of lilly pads, and cast a lure. Randy Blaukat just today posted a video on how it's destroying the industry, specifically the tournaments. And, we've all watched it unfold, in an incredibly predictable fashion, in slow motion over the decades.

[@basskidgaming1537]

Can u go fishing in Maryland I want to go fishing with u

[@piratestudiosproductions]

Okay, I want to know your opinion. You've been bass fishing a long time and I would think you would know. My dad says the bass have short term memory and that you can catch the same fish multiple times even on the same bait, but I've heard from other people that fish remember and that is part of the reason why some of them get big because they're smarter. Please reply.

[@RolandMartinOutdoors]

With fishing pressure, bass become real cautious

[@taylorwelch9209]

I have three bass in a pond and I have caught the same fish four times in a row. Its a farm pond so it only gets fished by me. They dont seem to remember and I have used the same bait

[@jeremiahgarcia9428]

Them fish be like it’s Roland he’s back I’m going to be on KZbin

[@Mrfluefiske]

530+ thumbs up and no dislikes. Congrats with the new contract Mr.Roland. You deserve every good thing coming your way. 🙏

[@mulespur4806]

You always said bad luck to catch a fish on the first cast!

[@eliseogaona2783]

I aspire to have your positivity Roland 👌🏻 GOD bless stay safe slayin them monster bass

Fantastic clips mr Ronald

I love his passion.

[@nickdemsey7188]

Freak of nature.

[@chrisbramblett5611]

the record for the biggest bass caught with the lightest line on 4-pound test line was 15pounds caught on the Winterhaven chain of lakes in 1954

[@markferrell0212]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge Mr. Martin. There are thousands who have caught more and better fish because of you. Your the Real Deal.

[@johnnyb5521]

Great video, awesome looking boats and glad your feeling healthy and catching fish. And your back fishing the Big O.🎣👍😁

[@russelll.8361]

I would love to see some more spinnerbait videos. It's the first lure I throw on a new lake and the active fish crush it.

[@MaxEberle]

You’re the best Roland!

[@darrins3206]

I grew up watching you on TV as a kid back home in St. Louis. I've been living in Maryland the last 30 years after graduating from college. And I'll be coming down to Lake Okeechobee to fish for large mouth bass for the first time in my life next month in April! It will be a childhood dream of mine come true! I'll be coming into Clewiston as well. So looking forward to it!!! Are you doing guided trips now? If not, who would you recommend?? Online, I've come across positive reviews for Mark Shepard, Marc Rogers, Dave Lauer, Mark Rose, and Rob Alphano so far. I'm looking to make a decision this week!

[@randyjones5153]

Great Video Roland! Can’t wait to come back to Okachoobee and the Everglades next year and catch those Bass!!! Bring that new Nitro up too Santee Cooper and let’s catch some fish! Have enjoyed your KZbin Channel from Day 1 and you TV shows from all these years!!

[@jameschrisdavis]

The swimming senko has been killing for me all year as a trailer. 3.5" or 4" work great!!

[@phillamoore157]

"It's just a little bitty sucky deal..." That pretty much sums up every fishing trip I have (only it has nothing to do with the fish I don't catch) 🤣 But, we still have fun, and a few laughs.

[@Cogdellboy]

Son !!! That new boat is Awesome!!! That grass is sure holding a lot of fish.. I think you caught about 6 from that first grass patch before even moving... By the way , got my New Favorite Pro Series rod yesterday !!! Can't wait to try it ... Has an Awesome feel to it.. Going to try it out Sat ... My brother's jealous ... Told him he needs to watch your videos more ..😄😄 I try not to miss one .. Been learning from you for Years and still learning ,so Keep'em coming and keep doing what you're doing .. You're looking Great ,you even got me out riding a bike 3 sometimes 4 days a week and I feel much better myself ... Again Thanks for being here and stay Safe out there ... Until next time God Bless !!!! Again Thanks for the Rod .... It's my Favorite ...😄

[@timj7466]

Looking younger every day Roland, God bless you and your entire family ( I love watching you, Scott, and Hillary)

[@jmpapucci]

Hi 👋 Roland,you look great😁I got a 5 pounder this morning on the 5 inch black-n-blue Yamamoto ,thank you for the worm video ,I got me one of those Connecticut Black Bass❤️thank you for the lessons love J

[@getoffmylawn8986]

Looking great, Roland, slimmed down quite a bit. What's your secret? Very nice boat, by the way! I'm envious.

[@kevingrace5295]

Great video Roland. I'm hooked on fishing the swimjig, what swim jig do you prefer most? I like the way the one your using comes thru the water and grass with little effort. Thank you Roland

[@bobbyswain7049]

Im with ya on the lightning.......I dont fool around with it...period. Ive put the boat on the trailer mid tourny and slung gravel......just not worth it. Id rather live to fish another day RM

[@jeffbruhn4164]

You keep going !!! Your show brings me back to my youth!!!! The 90s were some good times!!

[@camhester4251]

I'm having trouble figuring out if the fish are seeing my straight braid to hook when i'm worm fishing or texas rig , i only have 20 lb braid but thinking about tying a flouro leader but don't know much about flourocarbon , what should I do ? Is the braid preventing fish bites ? not fishing super clear water but average

[@JohnVC]

For what it's worth, I like Roland in the jon boat or canoe. Pros with their fancy boats and $600 rods, are not as exciting to watch. Pull a 6lber. in a canoe, without a Lowrance, and now yer fishin'.

[@georgeneckrock7575]

Another fantastic video!

[@matthewchurch2648]

I'm gonna be at Roland Martin's marina for some guided bass fishing this June! I cannot wait!!!

[@keos9388]

Thanks roland your an inspiration! Been watching since I was a kid. Tight lines son from bigfork montana!

[@coasternut3091]

I'll catch 20 little/medium all day over spending 5 hours and catching nothing or just one good size one

[@robertjacobsfishing]

Great video Mr Martin. Small Chugbug in a winner on Smallmouth. Managed to get my whole bag on one and cash a cheque!

[@brandongarner7252]

Now knowing it’s a shad spawn right away is it by fishing this lake a lot, knowing the time of year or word of mouth from the local marina? Serious question.

[@jordan23pals]

Love your videos Roland. Great entertainment. Big bass big bass big bass

[@BAMA-2019]

Roland love your videos...could you make a topwater of the old school ways on Chobee when they would use shiners up in the grass and a ballon??

[@dadsduce]

Roland can you make a video that covers how to fish when you are trying to cover a lot of ground. Obviously the speed of retrieve and how you can feel the bite is much different when you are moving forward under trolling motor power or even fishing up current while moving forward with the trolling motor.

[@drmitofit2673]

What is the best way to fish a bait ball of schooling finger length shad? You would think a fluke or paddle tail on a lightly weighted hook for bass lurking under the bait ball, but this hasn't worked for me yet.

[@stevenkimbrell8796]

Wish you had caught them on the swim baits ... But the top water bite is fun watching the water exploding with a monster coming after ur bait.. good footage and info. Good fishing into the future

[@samtate1260]

That is a beautiful boat you are truly blessed good luck fishing Roland GOD bless and stay safe

Sorry to hear about your grandfather. I'm sure he's proud!!

What kind of grass is that at the beginning? I have it all over my lake too but I've never caught fish as fast as that.
