hi from Australia. Scott ur frustrations on the boat shows how much this means not only to Scott Martin but also the Martin family legacy. so much pressure to bring the UFB home. keep casting mate.

[@stephenwurst9935]

Just wanted to take a minute to show some appreciation Scott whether or not you will ever read this message I'm not sure but I've always been fascinated with bass fishing however did not have many mentors to learn from and thanks to you and your father and all the great content and techniques and tips that you put out has got me Catching some big bass so thank you my brother !!!

[@russellwatters5891]

You're a class act regardless of the rod breaking, fish missing, language breakdowns, or foot stomping. Hey, you've made a living with something you're passionate about, and you've passed the passion down like your dad did. Awesomeness!

[@survivalistfishingandrevie228]

Scott, I met you at this last Bassmaster Classic. In the 30 second conversation we had I realized something. Not only are you worthy of fishing where you are and the level you are at. You are a man of honor and God. Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine. You are in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you and your family.

[@williambrown2583]

Scott you had an amazing career up to this point and you still have a long career left ahead of you I've been there with you during the bad times and I'm looking forward to being there with you when you bring home the blue trophy when you bring home the classic championship. You got to keep Canterbury and Arey with you

[@mattclark8095]

I am impressed that each day you talk about what you need to do to win the tournament and you go out and try to do it. You don’t just give up and the take the points, you continue trying every moment and with each cast. Can’t wait to see the 2020 video.

[@stevenmcgehee4772]

You and your daughter on stage is a priceless moment! She will remember how you continue to fight through adversity! That is going to help her in tournament fishing! The Martin toughness. Bam!

[@fivekeepersfishing9050]

Man, I lost one fish that cost me a big bass, tourney, and AYO one time. I had the fish beside the boat and was grabbing it when it came off. Haunts me to this day! Drives me to this day too! This all will drive you, and make you even better. God bless!

[@theparamedicyakker5539]

Similar happened here. In my rookie season I had a chance to cash a check and get in the money. Lost my biggest tourney fish right at the yak. Easily over 7 lbs. Still haunts me to this day. And I have never been that close before. Would have been big bass as well. But another guy caught a ten. 😂🤣

[@dustinbordelon9736]

[@tomtallman6265]

The time you are spending with your kids and them being there with you... is priceless. When you get a chance, tell us what that tablet is used for that you have in the house and then u carry from the console to bow as you fish. Have not seen that done by others. Would be cool to see you dominate St. Johns river moving forward ! Have a great day Scott.

[@chefpoet1972]

Dude, you are seriously one of the good guys. You apologized for complaining at the end of the video-- and I don't feel like you complained. You had so much on the line and you kept your composure and were professional. And on top of that you dedicated a pretty significant time of the video to OTHER guys! THAT is incredibly generous and supportive. Again, you're one of the good guys, in my opinion.

[@bassicallydoug]

You and your dad are both a class act, Scott. Your entire family is classy. I was inspired by your dad many years go. I’m just a hobby fisherman, and your dad’s book, 101 Bass Fishing Secrets, helped me immensely years ago. It continues to. I am so glad I found you and your dad on KZbin. Your dad is such a great teacher. I mostly appreciate that you all honor God in all that you do. Thank you for making fishing so much fun to watch and for keeping it classy at the same time. I’m so glad to see the Martin legacy continue through you and your children. May God continue to bless you.

[@jamessstown]

These elite series videos have been the highlight of my evenings for the past few months. I’m gonna miss them 😭😭😭

I had the pleasure of riding with Matt on day one at Champlain, that place wasn’t normal. In three days of marshaling, I didn’t get to see one brown fish over 4 pounds. Guys either landed on them or they didn’t. The big fish were highly consolidated rather than years past where they were mixed in all over. Fishin ain’t it… You ever get up to Maine on a vaca.., I will be happy to point you to a 4/5 pound brown fish paradise. And amazing lobstah
