Scott, guys in your position sharing their testimony of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is everything… thank you man and congrats 🙌🏼✝️

[@outdoormaster4114]

Amen

[@alburke5583]

Congratulations Scott Martin on the win on your home lake. I have been watching you for many years. I'm 82 years old and you have changed the way I fish, and I want to thank you for inspiring people to the sport of fishing.

[@claudesauder1497]

I've never clicked on a video this fast before. No better guy deserves this than you. Way to go Scott

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@jtbassing17]

I hope I’m not the only one that had tears, my eyes watching this. I grew up watching Scott, my whole life on KZbin and this tournament was off the wall. Congratulations Scott nothing beats a big win on your home lake in front of your family, friends, and most of all God.

[@chet5346]

What a win, you truly deserve this Scott! 🎉

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

Thanks so much 👍🏼👍🏼

[@zcoosa1648]

When I want to see Florida bass fishing I always come watch Scott Martin!

[@jimhendricks1235]

Loved seeing your Dad grew up watching him he's such great fisherman

[@jasonrobshaw136]

Scott is just a god man. Well deserved brother.

[@TheREELBass_Dad]

The most entertaining bass fishing production on KZbin!

[@Fishin_Carolina]

No better guy to win and no better place to do it. Well done Scott!

[@johngwilson730]

You're an awesome inspiration for me Scott. I love when you got your parents on your boat with you, and how happy your mother was... I teared up, to be honest.. Man, I envy you, I love your content... been watching your video's for months now.. Thank u so much for your time that u share with us..!!!

[@walleyechannel]

This is the most emotional and best bass fishing I have seen ever.

[@robertgallacher7214]

One of the greatest competitive angling performances of all time, awesome job.

[@ottocornett1151]

Damn good speech there at 31:00. I’m from Texas and have never even had the chance to fish okeechobee but I felt that one. “They didn’t build this lake God built this lake” hit

[@fdyhdfhy]

Well deserved Scott. I’ve been a huge fan for a long long time and to see this is great. Praise Jesus!!

[@user-hr3pm9bb6j]

WAY TO GO SCOTT......You deserved this tournament. What a great win with exceptionally high weights. Just the beginning of a phenomenal season. JimInCincy.....

[@shawnfriel3039]

Scott, So proud of you brother.True testament to the lord that good things come to good people!! Keep up on gettin “giants” & “huge ones”!!! KEEP STRIVING TO BE ONE OF THE GREATS!!!

[@ronniebeecher8324]

Congratulations Scott!!! I grew up watching your father on TV and now enjoy watching you and your father’s KZbin channels. awesome family great inspiration keep up the good work!!❤

[@davidsanders9710]

Way to go Scott.. Been watching you and your Dad for yrs.

[@Rock3t175]

Congrats Scott! So thankful for your content and your love in God! You’ve helped me find an amazing hobby and brought me closer to God again. Thank you and congratulations!!!

[@keythshockley3279]

Congratulations SCOTT you are my favorite professional fisherman by far

[@samsterling1462]

Scott you look great, and the weigh-in results match it. Keep grindin', we're all proud of ya!

[@bassnhockey]

Congrats Scott! What a historic win! Some outsider perspective on what I saw in this tournament. 1. You own your home lake 2. You didn’t give a damn about points or making a cut. You came to win end of story. 3. You didn’t let outside factors bother you. Days 1 and 2 you had a sea of boats around you and you didn’t blink. You stayed dialed start to finish. Great Win! Go get that classic victory!

[@jacobc.1848]

Slowed it way down! Incredible! Over 60 lbs in the same 100-150 yrd stretch of water!? 90 lbs in 3 days!! This 2 week old video has me so fired up! I’m picking up my 88 bass tracker pro 17 with hood electronics and troller this week sometime, I have been searching and searching for another as this was my favorite boat I’ve ever had! This one is even cleaner and from a very close friend, he’s really family! Hooked me up! It’s all like new baby! Put my touches on it and I’ll be making content! That’s what got me searching for good new bass content, I really enjoy crappie fishing, that turned into chasing bass one day after hammering some on crappie jigs. Got my bass poles out and Started throwing poppers, creatures, frogs and wackys even a couple spinners and caught some real hogs! I was hooked from then on! Coming from crappie as a kid with dad and gpa, then big river catfish/ flat head chasing back ground, to bass has been an experience! Even got my dad out hammering lunkers. It’s a different style fishing, we used to complain about the buzzing bass boats lol, I completely understand it now although I’m always curious it’s just funny, how things come full circle snd work out. I’m rambling now but great content, comments, and good vibes here! Glad I subscribed when I did and good luck yall! Tight lines!

[@reecepetersen5345]

Scott’s ultra focused this year! Congrats!!

[@scoishentertainment1483]

Happy for you Scott. You been grinding at it hard all these years.

[@williamfisher866]

Man. So happy for u and your family. Keep up the great work and continue to give God a the glory.

[@TXprimeFishing13]

CONGRATS!!! The LORD truly blessed you and your family!!! Enjoy your big win 💪🏼

[@BB_Fishing22]

So glad you got the win Scott!! You have truly worked hard for this and this has been a long time coming!! You stayed at it and stayed with the Lord and it payed off!! I can tell this win was pretty special to you and I’m so glad you are the one who won it!! Congrats on the victory, keep on going and working hard!! Finish the unfinished family business!! You got this!!

[@ironmikelaw]

He's a Great American Fisherman, He can fish anywhere! Congrats, Scott! You and your dad are still inspiring us! God Bless you and your family!

[@Dani-wc5hd]

Hey Scott, I just want to encourage you. I've been watching for a while, and I've seen last season how it's been a real grind trying to get a win. I made a prayer after last season was over that you would win this year a tournament and its miracle what happened. I believe 100% the prayer was answered and I believe you'll win an elite and classic trophy too! Keep that calm and cool mind set and God will lead you. God Bless!!

[@FISHERYIN]

Proud of ya!

[@jefft5795]

Man Scott I shed them tears with you. So proud of u much love God bless!!

[@jakestetson7770]

You can tell a lot about a person by how they treat their momma. Loved seeing it Scott. Congrats

[@lewandlo]

Im so happy for you and your family. A legend once again in the Martin family . WHOA ...Nice snaggin ...nice snaggin. WHOA.

[@colinihrig9826]

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

Thanks for tuning in 🔥🙏🏼

[@wiltonacker7577]

I live vicariously through you Scott awesome job

[@hasielmena9381]

Talk about experience of a lifetime! If it wasn’t filmed, this story would be hard to believe. My hats off to you Scott, may the good lord keep blessing you, your family and the Great Lake Okeechobee.

[@joshbeach9147]

Your humility speaks volumes, I love your witness to the Gospel, you’re an inspiration!

[@johnb2905]

God bless you Scott .... CONGRATS !!!

[@512outdoors]

Actually made me pretty emotional to see this video. You were my generations bill dance when it came to TV! SMC will always come out on top!

[@RAWWFishing]

Congratulations Scott what a win on your home lake. Really enjoyed both parts!💪🏻

[@timothyverdine6431]

Your storyline is always great but this one takes the cake. Congrats to you and your family. Love seeing your family in the videos. Me, like many grew up watching your dad on Saturday mornings.

[@robuens356]

“Fish, Family, Friends!” Epic display of fishing! These last 3 vids of Lake O are some of the best content that you’ve given us the fans! Rolled out of the St Lawrence on a high and kept the momentum going. Congrats Scott!

[@michiganfishing8094]

Scott, your dedication to help the waters we fish and to produce videos for us to enjoy is truly remarkable. The messages you give are so pure and wonderful. I can't even fathom how anyone could ever hate on a guy who just lives to enjoy God's creation day to day and preaches nothing but happiness. Congrats on the win and hopefully many more are to come!

[@PatrickC63]

I’ve been following you for years and I can say, congratulations!! Thanking God is always a good idea. But remember, faith without works is dead. All I’m suggesting is give yourself some credit. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@youngbloodburt4869]

My maaaaan Scott. Naw naw. We gotta call him MR Martin with the trophy. Yup yup that’s the whole name. Congratulations brotha. I’m proud of you. Almost made me drop a tear. Let’s keep it going. BAMMMMMMMM

[@nateriley4067]

Just damn proud to watch your journey throughout these years! Congratulations on the success this week, and thanks for giving glory to God first when you won. We’re so proud of you and Hilary first for the people that you are, and secondly for your bass fishing abilities. Now close it down and win the Classic in ’25!

[@CodeEli1]

Congratulations, Scott and family…👏👏👏 And thank you Scott, for giving Jesus the credit! You’re a class act in my book, Brother! May Jesus continue to Bless you!

[@IPlayRunescapeM8]

This video was really special, whole tournament played out like a movie! congratulations Scott ! had me tearin up multiple times

[@dgroves85]

This is so incredible! Congratulations Scott Martin! Been a follower of you for a long time. Your dad Roland even longer. Him and Bill Dance were my bass fishing idols as a kid. Congratulations and thank you for sharing your faith and not holding back. Football, baseball and all those other sports get all the main attention. But don’t sleep on professional bass fisherman.

[@michaelmuzzey7871]

Your a class act just as your father is. You most definitely deserved this win and the record even more. Best of luck in continuing to finish the unfinished family business!!!

[@jjyoung909]

Awesome DUB Scott!!! The Martin name continues to shine and is synonymous with Elite level anglers. God Bless you and your family.

[@JakeFishing_]

So so proud of you Scott!! I love your Momma, brought a tear to my eye she’s such a sweet woman! So happy you got to win this at your home with your loved ones. Man just God bless!!

[@taylor6500]

Seeing you celebrate to your family and particularly with your mom and being her son in that moment really was amazing and having such ridiculously huge bass was almost comical. So happy to see this! Nobody more deserving

[@812FoodReview]

Congratulations Scott! It couldn't happen to a better person. Be proud, and I'm happy for you. Well deserved

[@JasonWithaJ]

Been watching you for years, Scott. I legit cried when I saw you hit the last one knowing what it meant. I always root for you…your team…your family. All of it!! You’re an inspiration, man!! Congratulations!!

[@davidharris4030]

Way to go Scott! It is way overdue! Let’s go get that Elite and Classic win next! Congratulations 🍾🎉🎊

[@ericpetty9985]

Nothing but smiles and happiness from the beginning of the bass master classic if only you knew what these vids mean to us and for us to watch congrats to you and the family Scott

[@michaelbaker6983]

Damn it man…. This was a fun adventure to get to be a part of. The love and compassion came through the screen. Congratulations man!! You are truly blessed.

[@ADVENTURESOFBZ]

Well done my good man!!!!! GOD IS SOOOOOO GOOD!!!!! You're obviously pleasing HIM, because these are huuuge blessings, and well deserved. Good job brother, what a thrill that was to watch and experience with you buddy 🤘🤘💪💪🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@KevinSmith-dq9tz]

4th time watching this. Just as exciting as the first I think. Definitely the most badass tournament I've ever watched. And at 64 yr old I've seen alot. Being from Fl. I'm a huge Scott Martin fan. Go get that classic now Scott.

[@DanWest270]

Bro…you absolutely throttled them. Heck of a way to start the year, pulling for you man! Let’s GO!

[@mocarpenter8836]

Congratulations 🎊 Scott !! You Flippen Deserve the Win !! The Bass Gods were looken down on ya my friend !! 🎣🏆

[@Louisiana-critter-getter]

Man I know that win meant a ton to you and to put the icing on the cake with blowing the record out by 7lbs unbelievable congratulations

[@johnnyvermin6305]

A Dirty Thirty AVERAGE!! So awesome to watch a truly humble , grateful , and god fearing man accomplish such a monumental goal.

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

Truly a blessing! Thanks for the support!

[@alecbaldwinsnotpropgun]

Born and raised in Orlando, I’ve never laid eyes on Okeechobee but I feel an attachment to it due to its history and importance to this state. I pray that the big O is restored to its former glory. It’s definitely possible, Apopka is light years better than 15 years ago. But like Scott said it takes millions, and probably for okeechobee a billion dollars to fix the damage.

[@LawsonLindseyFishing]

Congrats Scott! Such an incredible tournament and so cool to see you giving it up to the Lord

[@chrismargarum6863]

I have never clicked on a video so fast before, I am so proud of you Scott, I have been following your career since I was in my 20’s, I was grinning from ear to ear when you start catching them, then at the boat dock that was really special moment with pops and the family, I know you got the classic in you, we are all preying for you and in un finished family business, what a great win, and to get them records in the books, hats off to g man, I knew you have a lot more in the tank, to the elites, and then get that classic win brotha, congratulations 🎉

[@Bobbyjbox]

Man congratulations. The look on your moms face was priceless.

[@jasonhutcherson6224]

Scott congratulations sincerely you deserve it. And Okeechobee was the 1st of the Year. Hope you win several more big ones this season.

[@megadeth6756]

Next is the classic W and then a movie. Cant write a better script. Congratulations scott!

[@dradhdtulsa]

Been watching for years and I’m smiling from ear to ear! It’s weird because I feel like I won!😂 So happy for you and God bless you Scott! Praise the Lord Jesus for blessing His people!

[@Anonymous-247]

Hey Scott, I met you at the Indy boat sport and travel show. I’m a huge fan of you and wish you the best. You really are the best fishing KZbinr out there “Dude”

[@DavidMccallister65]

You're so blessed to still have your parents Scott and they're both awesome. It would be really cool if you could get 5 replicas made of those fish and have them on the wall with your trophy in the middle showing the bag you caught to win and break the record! 🏆🤙

[@daking414]

How awesome to have pops up there with you after a dominant victory at home! Wishin for more success throughout the season and beyond 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾
