My dad and I were walking from parking garage to volunteer landing. I hear this diesel truck turn around and it was Scott. So awesome to see ya there wish I could have met ya in person.

[@matthewhairell849]

Blows my mind on how anglers will wear $1000 cold weather/rain suits but then wear flip flops or tennis shoes. If my feet are cold my body is cold.

[@dannythebiker]

Why you gotta hate … just enjoy the fishing he films for us, for some it’s teaching purpose. Maybe mind ya business. Xo

Have I already watched the tournament? Yes I have. Will I spoil it here? No I won’t. Will I still watch Scott Martin? All day every day. And I will still root for you every single time.

[@BernPisarcikJr]

hits your boat and asked if you just did that, LOL! Great video, clarity, drone shots, amazing. I watch live and always appreciate the content given to us by the anglers.

[@BAMA2502]

Love the channel but why does it take so long to get the videos out these days? I remember when we were getting the practice vids as the tournament was still going on and they were just as good then. Also the SMC discount code doesnt work at AFTCO

[@thatoutdoordude87]

Huge fan of you and what you do. Love your videos and the little tips and tricks I have learned from your videos. Looking forward to seeing you hold up the ultimate trophy. You sure do deserve it. You have all my hopes and prayers that you will one day hold up hold up the classic trophy.

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

[@wickedbassn]

Awesome content as always Scott! You and Hillary make these videos entertaining, educational and real. Good luck the rest of the year! Also...I just a garmin 1222 and lvs 34 and look forward to trying it!

[@garydisney5347]

I saw Matt Arey practicing in Poland Creek when a big squall came in and was raining sideways,you would have never known it by watching him,he just kept right on fishing,never missing a beat.

[@MWA78]

Love it... Make a deal with the little fish to get the big fish😉😁🤣

[@Dillo72]

Prayer sent Scott. Good luck to ya.

[@treymiller1661]

This may have not been a good Classic this year but that means it will be twice as good next year. Good luck and let’s see you fish the Classic next year

[@nathanb1886]

OU alum here. Atta boy, Scott. Happy to hear you are an Okie.

[@goblue3090]

Love these longer videos. Love it.

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

Thanks 👍🏼

[@DavidMccallister65]

I've told MANY friends about tuning their jerkbaits! 😎👍 I think you're the first pro I've ever heard mention it. So many people don't think about tuning them but it's the exact same thing as a jerkbait. Cast it out and reel it back and it should come straight back. Otherwise, when you reel it down, it'll blow out and you're never getting max depth when it matters most.

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

So true so many people don’t know these things.

[@thomasanderson1783]

I agree! No way these videos should come out so late. This is over 2 weeks from the classic. Jesus! We should be seeing practice for bama or santee cooper by now!

[@jakeporter8476]

Agree

[@chuckchambliss8319]

If you were a videographer/Editor/Producer/Etc, you might have a different perspective. I imagine they already have a back log of videos to edit/etc. So it’s virtually impossible to produce the volume and quality of the videos SMC do within a one week turn around. I’ve only seen maybe 2 people on his personal “media team”. I could be wrong, but I’d bet it’s not much more than 2… if 2. Also take a look at the length of this video, it’s over an hour long. That is a LONG episode to edit… and there aren’t even 4 2-minute commercial breaks built in. Additionally, count how many camera shots you see in Scott’s videos. No less than 3 GoPro, and at least 2 other cameras that McCoy, etc, carry around. When they edit, they have to sync up all those cameras and audio sources too. I’m a professional Video Editor. This what I’ve done for the better part of 20 years. There are days where it takes a full 8 hours to just edit a 30 second TV commercial. I’m not faulting anyone for thinking it takes too long for them to post events videos. We’ve all been reprogrammed into thinking this way these days with our microwave society and technology. 😊

It was an exceptionally hard fishery to have the Classic at, best of luck at the next Classic, we know you'll always fish to win!! Oh, and I think Anise Oil from Winn Dixie was the first fish scent, from back in 1968...lol 😂😅 JS. Love ya'll ❤️

[@mbergquist6855]

Martin, Canterbury, and Arey still on my Fantasy Team no matter what! Class Acts all around.

[@dylanhalls544]

I’m from northern Ontario, for early spring smallies literally let your bait sit for a minute at a time and one or two jerks then pause. I find that swim baits are usually when the water is warm is like right before spawn

[@joesguiltyguitar]

What was that you said Ninja Scott Martin, You don't like the cold 🥶 LoL

[@lesserkey]

The cinematography these days in some of these pro anglers youtube channels.. is amazing! Great vid Scott.. I hope to see you hold up this trophy one day. To be honest, these years BMC was kinda boring.. but i know everyone fished hard. Good luck this season!

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

Appreciate it 🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@davidwebb7254]

I allways said if you Not like the weather here “stand still”. …. I can relate. To how you feel about the weather, I work out in it hour shifts pushing bugy/ carts for a Grocery store chain! It hard to be prepared for Our weather, live here 60 plus years. It colder on the water than a lot think! It feels worse out in the Mountains! !

[@davidvolpe5246]

Well..I went like you. Used to play football wrestle etc etc and die hard not miss games...now..its about THE FFF LIFE...Family Fishing Faith. The rest happens sometimes now when i cant fish lol...thats it...keep on pluggn dude....

[@prestonmire5509]

You are awesome Scott Martin

[@Dmgolfer22]

Scott, that was a Hybrid bass. Very big one. Half striper, half white bass. Biggest one I’ve ever seen. They’re taller and the stripes are broken up.

[@ArkansasBassMan]

9:53 Scott listen, they make medicine for that now.

[@Nate_Higgins]

Damn, if only you could paint that striper green. Nice fish man.

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

Lol

[@paulandreassen9964]

Good luck, I’m saying a prayer for you now. 🙏

[@charleswilson2429]

If that Hybrid bass was over 23 lbs 3 oz. that would have been the new state record!!

[@Mjones8383]

I'm with Scott let's get the classic to summer or the fall like days past

[@lawrenceblue8207]

Are you passing over bass in the deeper water, when you travel from one location to the next, and missing opportunity? Checking your fish locator. I do know bass spawn in shadow waters and weed beds.

[@paulb351]

As a fellow Floridian that looked painful.Sent a prayer your way , good luck

[@ThomasShue]

I wish you did more setup videos and what gear you like as well.

[@williamhawkins5906]

I love you show it gritty and hard the ups and downs not just the ups, keep rolling the videos of everything. Looked like a hard week all the way around. Way to grind and stay positive.

lol great speech and deal to those large mouth scott! And Scott how about that striper man that thing was enormous!

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

Biggest I have ever caught!

[@proassassin8473]

To bad you wasn’t in a Striper Tournament. You also solved a Mystery to me because I had someone’s that big at Bull Shoals lake and never seen it but it fought just like that pretty sure it was a Striper

[@duckhunternjm94]

That giant hybrid is what you should have paid way more attention to in Tennessee

[@JonJonsOutdoors]

I always wonder if you catch a bunch in practice in the “hot spot” how it effects the tournament when you go back to fish? I’ve seen some guys use hookless options or barbless but not being a tournament angler I’m curious. Was rooting for ya and was there. Had a great time.

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

I use that technique sometimes as well

[@louKYpb]

Who is dropping you off. It looks like you are a solo fisherman, but clearly someone is helping you launch your boat. Thanks and love the videos.

What did your boat lock into at 28:18 in video when loading?

[@michaelduran3540]

Dude Idk how he didn’t lose his mind after he caught that striper. Idc if I’m fishing for a tournament if I caught a giant like that I’m going crazy

What wind speed is best to fish in

[@michaelmorse5818]

Mega striper I ever caught was 82 pounds outage pole river in Florida

[@Street-Ryder]

Always prayers for you and your family, as well as all the Anglers, but I'd like to take a moment of privilege to ask what would you guesstimate the weight of that first giant striper and I don't recall you specifically saying with all the krazy weather what the water temperatures were. Best of Luck always 🤙🏻🇺🇲🤙🏻

one thing that always bothered me. i spend 20 bucks + on a jerk bait or a walleye trolling lure and it doesnt run right.

[@DavidMccallister65]

I caught an 18lb Striper on a jerkbait and 10lb line a couple weeks ago on Lanier and it was a fight son! 🤣 Good times.. and I don't think catching it was really worth patting myself on the back for but getting that fat sucker in the boat took some skill lol😎 Not to mention it broke one treble off and bent two others out but never broke me off and never came off🤙

[@DirkDigler209]

Wow that was a giant striper you should’ve got a wieght on that sucker that was giant! I fish the California delta for stripers all the time and I’ve yet to catch one that big! Anyways great content great video as always it’s like a mini movie me and my kids can watch together
