Hulk Hogan and Pickleball! - Bassmaster Elite Wheeler Lake (Travel) - UFB S4E25

[@RaoulOverbeeke]

The thing that makes me like you even more and other anglers like you, is that you approach and treat the public with respect and manners and don't think you are above anyone. The current world of today needs more people like you.

Shout out to the USS Midway veteran, I live in San Diego where the midway is now docked. I love visiting and learning about it and it’s history.

[@redbeard6606]

It’s so awesome that you take some time out of your day to visit with people you meet. Thanks for all you do Scott.

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

🙏

[@kalebjames423]

Lake chickamauga, right of highway 27. Blessed to grow up fishing it!

[@markjohnson62]

Pretty cool to see how happy you are to see someone famous, it's the same way people feel when they see you

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

It was like seeing a real life, cartoon character that I idolize when I was a kid

[@kenmcdaniel2134]

Good travel day Scott. I was also in the Navy (1980 - 2006: retired) and really enjoy talking with other fellow service men, especially the older generations. Thank you for taking the time to talk with him, I am positive you made his whole week! He's probably still talking about how nice you are!!. The pickle ball was 'interesting'... not my thing, but ok. Seeing Hulk Hogan... coolbeans!!! I still love to bass fish, every opportunity I get. Favorite area lakes for me are Lay Lake and Lake Jordan, both on the Coosa River chain of lakes. Both about an hour from home. Really enjoyed the video. Thank you sir!

[@billernst840]

Now that you’re far removed from the struggle buss era of a bass fishing career this lifestyle looks so fun! I know you don’t include all the downs of the job but these travel blogs are fantastic.

[@mocarpenter8836]

Hollywood Hogan & Hollywood Martin!!! Gotta love that !!

[@JasonDrum-m9m]

Scott your'e absolutely one of the best dudes ! , Upmost respect for you and your father. I've been following your Dad's career for at least 35 years or so and yours for a long time as well. I'm constantly putting things I learn from you into action on the water on a daily basis Keep it up man !! Top Tier Dude all the Way!!!.

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

Thank you soo much!

[@JasonDrum-m9m]

@@ScottMartinChallenge absolutely sir.

[@russellwatters5891]

Awesome travel vlog, that was fun and unique. Two things, Thank you USS Midway veteran for your service and story, and to you Scott, for bringing forth a story from long ago about respecting other anglers. You probably don't remember, but in 2000, my kids and I met you kinda on the water at Okeechobee. It was during a tournament there and the "pros" were harassing my kids and I because we were catching some nice bass, but were using shiners. These guys would cut us off from the hydrilla edge and just keep flipping and casting. We would just reel in and wait for them to pass. It was you that told them they should just leave the spot, they were being unsportsmanlike, and they did. Thank you for being respectful. I will always enjoy the sport, you and your family, and that memory. Love what ya'll are doing 😊

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

Wow..thank you for sharing that. So many different types of people on the water..some good and some bad

[@russellwatters5891]

@@ScottMartinChallenge Thank you, and Happy Father's Day 🙏😊

[@-shadyG]

Thank you for taking the time to talk to a fellow retired Navy Chief. Like I say, every time someone thanks me for my service, you Scott are worth it.

[@christophershelton1735]

It’s awesome that you’ll stop and talk to your fans. I feel like if I ran across you you would stop and let me shake your hand. Top notch guy.

[@masonbonawitz8845]

Lol I came up to you at the u gas station ,off of volunteer in south west ranches. I appreciate you giving me the time to shake your hand man keep on the good content

It was great meeting you!

Scott you’re looking super healthy man. Over there years watching you this is the best I’ve seen you. You’re in your prime! Now get that BIG BLUE TROPHY 🏆

[@tomstclair961]

Scott, Did you ever see that cool photo hanging in Garrards bait and tackle. It was a wicked storm cell blowing in from the west . It was taken right behind Garrards if i recall. It was a tornado 🌪️ on the ground in total darkness at night. But the lightning strike lit up the clouds and ground so you could see the whole thing.. There it was coming right for Garrards back door. I don't know who took it but it was a awesome photo. Perfect timing as well. I mean how do you snap the picture at the perfect time the lightning struck is beyond me. It was in perfect focus to.. You could see the cell tower in the field and everything. That was award winning quality. They blew it up so it was a big photo and framed it. Scary dude!! I believe it went back up and did no damage. It was in all that farm land Out west of tackle warehouse. Anyway, good luck on wheeler. Jacob and DC didn't do good on wheeler . Huge rains had raised water way up and it was dirty.

[@mattressesunderwater]

Awesome stuff dude! The stories are great! I can feel a Scott Martin book in the future!

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

That would be cool!

[@repentantconservative7030]

You need to do a video with the Hulkster. Dude that would be a beautiful thing to see. The Hulk on your boat bassin it up! Heck yeah.

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

That would be cool!

[@repentantconservative7030]

​@ScottMartinChallenge we need to make it happen!!!! Let's get him to Clewston and out at your dad's marina.

[@martygillette3764]

Gitta BIG boat…lol…that dude is large. He could catch a 12lb bass and it would look like a minnow if he held it up. 😂

[@benjaminhurmx]

McCoy!!! You almost ate your hand when he gave you that sauce man! Lmao

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

😂😂😂 guess it was really good

[@WalterBailey-w7x]

Thanks for the kudos you did for the military. I did 30 years in the Air Force. For you to mention how we enjoy our lives today is in part by the service of the military.

[@edbentley1753]

Old Marine Corps vet here… love watching your journey! Saw that smallmouth on that wood in your truck… curious where’d you pick that up?

[@derrickwestfall2002]

Hwy 27 is the main highway through Somerset, KY and Lake Cumberland which you know very well Scott. Jerkbait in the standing timber if my memory is correct.

[@dead_tripp1179]

21:02 "Been working on that thang for three hours, couldn't get it up." Me too Captain

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

😂🤦‍♂️

[@golfincroc8473]

Try using the ice fishing carry pack with a small Dakota lithium battery and cradle to have a portable power unit for your graphs to power it up in your room.

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

Now that’s a good idea

[@All_season_angler]

@golfincroc you beat me to it.

[@golfincroc8473]

Because of budget and the type of boat and trolling motor I have I had to get creative with the lvs32 and my set up. I have 2 small Dakota batteries that I made a portable case for. And I use an old trolling motor pole and peddle for my lvs32 so that I can use spot lock and still scan. Scott if you ever drive thru houston I would be happy to show you so you can see just how Aussie bush built it is or as you call it over here “ that sure is rednecked” hahaha

[@nathanmathesonfishing]

That second creek story is so cool because I fished my first big tourny (10k) in that creek!

[@BryantJ_Fishing]

Scott since you guys are in Cullman this week. You should look up Duck River Reservoir. There are monster bass in that hidden little gym. Would be honored to show you around the lake if your schedule permits.

[@hankjr70]

It's amazing how one lure can be THE bait the bass can't resist. I threw a pumpkin seed worm with a chartreuse finesse tail on the bluffs on lake Tuscaloosa catching grown spots every cast while my. Nextdoor neighbor threw everything in his tackle box and couldn't catch a cold. I finally gave in and shared some worms with him. They still love them.

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

That’s crazy!

[@KTDELRUS]

Epitome of class. I’m not sure if I could have hung that long listening.

[@hankjr70]

Put you a peice of lightweight tin underneath your little fire cage thingy and you should be able to just drag the ashes wherever you want to dump them. I was very happy to see your patience with the old guy telling his story. I felt a little like you didn't know whether or not the viewers would enjoy him or not but I was pleased to see you stay tuned into him even though he was having a bit of dry throat going on. You stayed with him and made his day and made mine and I would bet a bunch of other people's day too that love to hear old guys tell about things that they were part of that made a difference in the world in which we now live. You need not worry about us. Go with your gut and forget we are here. Roland and your mom raised you right. It will carry you through everything you do.

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

Thank you!! I agree people like that deserve our time. It was great to hear his stories

[@matthewmartinbbq]

Hey guys, next time you're planning a stop in Warner Robins, hit me up! I live in between that Hilton and the Buccee's that you stayed at, just a few minutes from both. I'd love to cook you guys a meal or send a brisket and bbq care package with you. I have a food truck, catering company, and competition bbq team. Like you, Scott, I'm 2nd generation in my career field. I'll never be as successful as my dad, but I've been working hard for about 15 years to establish a name for myself.

[@taylorjohnsonsk8ter]

Man you guys give me a reason to keep at it

[@ThomasHorner-hh4el]

midnight express for me was Dennis Condrey and Bobby Eaton (1983-1987) but members switched out quite a bit .... probably a dozen other guys . with stan lane replacing condrey in 87 or 88.

[@Klintong79]

Hwy 27 also goes through Bainbridge, GA (Lake Seminole).

Yep!

Love to see the Hulkster on SMC Brother👍

[@cross_fire_]

We’ve got a place in Athens on Airbnb but it’s a drive from Wheeler to smith. Probably over an hour. I was trying to get the same group in it for the entire time but we had some nurses come in and got it before any fishermen. It’s 8 rooms, sleeps at least 20 and has plenty of parking. It’s a point of the lake on 20-30 acres Search motter Dr in Athens

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

Sounds perfect! Next time for sure

[@dtimdodson]

That Garmin battery suggestion was an excellent idea. It would be a big time saver.

Those Vudu shad are the same thing as the burrito swimbait... Literally almost the exact same swimbait but a little bit more cheaper!! And they do exactly what you said they do if you use them exactly like you said to.! I've been using them

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

Awesome! 👏

[@Gbark80]

To power your units away from the boat, get another power connector and use like a 6 or 7 ah battery. Not that I'm using live scope, but a charge on a 7 ah battery runs a 5 inch unit on my kayak for more than 12 hours. Just an idea.
