Hey y’all Santee is finally up. Do me a solid and share this video out to your people. Thanks so much!

[@acenastyninja]

Sharing the video now! I live on Guntersville lake and can’t wait to see y’all back up this way soon! Would you happen to have any old fishing rods and reels or tackle you would like to sale? I need some good poles to start off with.

[@JasonSullivanBigBass]

I'm go share it Scott. Dude you are dialed in here goes day two I'm ready. I know a lot of people tell you things good but if I had to tell you something good I would say keep your head up and Keep God in your heart and mind brother you are an amazing person and you have a awesome family that really loves you. Go show the Elite what you can do . Keep catching them biggens

[@jessebrock7574]

I just picked up some bandito bugs the other day black n blue all the way. Wish I had endless supply of googan baits. Lol thanks Scott for sharing the awesome fishing content

[@russellwatters5891]

Consider it did..lol 😂😅

[@Freshy_Fisher]

23:46 ❤the BAMA swag!

[@fleminj2pa]

You’re making it fun viewing this year, Scott. It’s amazing how smooth and productive you fish when you’re relaxed and having fun.

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

Glad you enjoy! Thanks for the words 👍🏼

[@beasting1983]

12:45 is why I really like Scott. He threw his rod down to help his co-angler with the landing of his fish.

[@bridgelaurie9490]

Bro if folks don’t know by now Scott genuinely just loves fishing. If he wasn’t on the pro tour and was a regular joe he’d 100% be fishing in jon boat tournaments and kayak tournaments just to get to fish more lol

[@CAN43725]

Scott, I like how you treat your co-anglers and the younger fans, or all fans for that matter. You are a positive influence on the next generation. We need more people like you.

[@caskdrumcraft]

I was trying to figure out why I like Scott's vids more than the average tournament vids. It's the lack of music during the fish catches. I would much rather hear line stretch and reel drag than the hottest new rap song. Keep it up the good work 👍

[@alexalcaraz1286]

So happy to see you do good this year!!! It’s been a while coming ! This is your year!

[@ElitexxChicken]

You can tell you are more comfortable and confident with the Lews set up. Awesome job man. God bless and hope you get a blue in the elites!!

[@jhelayel1440]

I swear the intros to your videos are always the best. I'm sitting up here in CT just waiting for the weather to warm up so I can get out there. The intros and the just watching your videos scott just get me excited for the upcoming fishing season. Shout out to Macoy and thanks for another amazing video.

[@brentbloomfishing]

Get out there now. Our northern strain largemouth are the fattest they’ll be all year long. In other words our 3.5lbers are 5lbs right now. And our 5.5lbers are 7lbs!!!!! Go bet one

[@ccfishing3166]

A2some guy to watch the overall man he is that's how we all should be congrats to you

[@jannyday1250]

Scott continues to be a class act! Looking forward to the Harris Chain event. Hopefully Hollywood gets a camera!

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

Fingers crossed 🤞🏼

[@dgroves85]

Oh my. That topwater bite at like 15:16, 15:17! Unreal!

[@stacenhartland9777]

Awesome couple of days!

[@chrisformella1526]

Fished Santee cooper and loved it. Great vid. Love fishing florida more. Thanks for the bids and the show. Good luck

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

Great fishery! Appreciate you watching and supporting

[@secretbassrigs]

26:40 There it is!

[@tylernorton6682]

dude caught a 7lber with you on your boat during a tourny,thats a dream of mine.

[@fishingmontana1564]

These videos are the best advertising for your baits lol

[@daking414]

What a 🔥🔥🔥 start to your season…I don’t know if the weight you lost went into the bass you’ve caught to start the season but good grief you’ve been puttin a hurtin on em! Keep grindin 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾 always pullin for you up here in WI

[@maclamond]

I love hearing that string "sing"

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

Best sound!

[@RCL1]

Good God O mighty at the Boats!

[@mikelong2775]

I complained once before about your background music but this vid was amazing, well done.

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

So glad you liked this one..🙏

Do you ship merch to South Africa 🇿🇦?

[@austinmalke8242]

Where can I get bait pop?

[@matthewatchison6399]

Wait, im confused Why is the other guy fishing? Isn't Scott trying to win a tournament 🤔

[@nicholasporter4682]

I like when McCoy puts the weight up as Scott catches em. Why don't yall do that anymore?

[@leecharles8058]

25lbs 10th place damm

[@Eric_Estes]

12:40 man I don’t know what to think about co angler’s congrats for him I guess 😅 i would not fish camera only

[@daltonreichert3488]

do you know if that fish counts for scott to like are they a team?

[@Eric_Estes]

@@daltonreichert3488 not a team,it’s a separate tournament for amateur fishermen, they get to buy into tournaments then there placed in the pros boat to fish from the back deck lol

[@daltonreichert3488]

@@Eric_Estes ohhh okay thanks i’ve seen that a few times and i’ve been really confused and wondering why they were fishing too

Your a awesome guy scott Martin it could be easy for you to be a douche but your not and a total sportsman though with awesome content keep rolling man 👊

[@JohnSmith-kz1ll]

You have such a good attitude even with the co anglers on board getting biggins. True sportsmanship

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

Kieth crushed it!

[@michaelthompson2782]

Scott Martin you are an inspiration to watch. You are so humble with all this success. You deserve everything coming your way!!!

[@johnbunje9054]

Bandido bug. Man, you should get some kind of award for Designing the best bait ever.🔥

[@russellwatters5891]

Obviously I think ya'll are awesome fishermen, but you showed the side of sportsman that I know you are. Offering to help your rider angler land his fish, 😊❤. You're the man! Thats the type pro we need out there, for the up coming youth to see and respect. Love what ya'll are doing ❤

[@benjaminhurmx]

I wanna co-angler with Scott (Hollywood) Martin!!!!

[@NathanielWalker-k1u]

What the name of the song before you pull off from the dock 👀👀

[@Floridaangler354]

I see Scott Martin and " catching giant bass" and immediately watch!

Thanks bro!! 🤙🏼

and it's martin with the mic I mean rod drop lol

What’s the song when he’s blasting off?

[@dennislong3962]

Great job your preparation and focus was spot on your the best now it’s time to go take the blue trophy One Cast/ One Bandido Bug / One Fish At A Time

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

All stocked up on Bandito Bugs for this next tournament 💪🏼💪🏼

[@dennislong3962]

@@ScottMartinChallenge How do you suggest rigging the bandido bug 3.3 the trokar 3/0 doesn’t fit well

The bandito bug is pretty much my go to flipping/pitchin bait 🤙🏼 Please don’t take them away from us 😂

[@ScottMartinChallenge]

The best!

[@robertgallacher7214]

That was a great watch, loved the top water fish, can't beat that surface explosion and the reaction to the first fish on day two was priceless. Great to see you right on it this season after all the hard work you put in, got my fingers crossed for an Elite win for you this year.

[@bigr2dog]

Love to see you having fun doing what you love

[@jameswhittington2318]

Scott, do you have the best attitude towards your co-movement I’ve ever seen. I’ve been watching you a long time and I really love it. You represent Christ first and foremost! I thank you for that. I also thank you for being such a good example

[@markfulwood7415]

So good to see you back to Hammerin' em again Scott... you're back to that intensely focused, fish catching machine... all while delivering the content that we love. Funny, great friends, vast knowledge... thanks brother, and God bless ya'll...

[@cgfishingandoutdoors9336]

Hey Scott I would like to go fishing with you one day and get some knowledge on fishing with some different types of lures

[@yvlopez77]

Is that wappoooo, kaboom or knock but the bug is the drug!!!! Banditooooo all day!

[@thomasmaisonet301]

Keep up the good work I watched your dad fish when I was a kid now I'm 53 next time you fish in Florida use a Johnson spoon with a chartreuse grub like your dad did!

[@WoodsandWater72]

He's not lying.. I no matter what always count on a ole bandito to pull em in heck I won't go without a pack or 3. YONNNK!

[@dtimdodson]

I'm jealous of co-angler Keith. What an opportunity to fish a great body of water with Scott.

[@jamesbliss2338]

Two things, who was he having an issue with, person not shown in video and secondly without information of who he was very concerned with it is hard to determine if he needed his gun out or not. Last comment regarding the shooting at Burger King. Why did the shooter have his handgun out when he walked around the front of his truck. Before the hi-jacker was even at the side of his truck. Most of these confrontations are occurring after 2020 and the jab.

[@DirkDigler12inch]

I don’t know a lot about tournament fishing. I saw that Scott was kind enough to help his co-angler land his fish, is the amateur allowed to help the pro land their fish. Or do they even want to risk them helping if they don’t know what they’re doing.

[@coreyjohnson6112]

Doing great this year bud, may have to promote you from Boat Sales to Slaunch Donkey Distribution!

[@benhabicht3015]

“Coanglers” is the strangest thing to me. Why would you let people fish on the pros boat taking away potential lbs from the guys doing this for a living?

[@nicholasmarks8770]

I see u scott with that beef cake jerky congratulations man on your recent win i met your dad about 12 or 13 years ago in Chalmette la Roland was here for the redfish cup 😂😂

[@christophershelton1735]

Curious question. Have you ever done anything else for a living that didn’t have to do with bass fishing. Also another quality vid.

[@cgfishingandoutdoors9336]

Also I would like to catch up with you and Macoy and visit and hang out with you guys

[@cahallc]

Pick teams. Put two very similar boats out there. Play a game or roulette wheel for team guns. Big cal and little cal guns. Then both teams start at the same time shooting from the same distance. Unlimited ammo. First to sink the other teams boat wins.

[@BOB-wx6sb]

YOU DAAAAAAA MAN SCOTT. MAY OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. WE LOVE YOU. MCCOY FANTASTIC JOB ON THE VIDEOS AND THE EDITING. YOU'RE DEFINITELY THE BEST ON THE ELITES TOUR, THOSE OTHER GUYS CHANNELS AREN'T EVEN CLOSE. SCOTT BETTER HANG ON TO YOU.

[@dustinyoder1212]

Another podium win for the best out there. Let’s freaking gooo!!!

[@RustyWells2]

I bet Scott sold a truck load of bandido bugs and bait pop with this video hell I ordered more and I already have plenty!

[@nicholasmarks8770]

U guys wouldn't believe the amount s of red fish that ive caught off a bandito bug i really do truly believe its the best beaver / craw style creature bait in da world

[@MLEnter18]

I love when Scott has co anglers and he helps them just shows his roots because he’s a genuine person who just loves fishing

[@scottreece2421]

Not from your part of the country but an interesting video. Thanks for sharing.

[@TS1023TS]

Your videos are great. Didn’t realize Santee was a hammer hole. Biggins

[@dustinjohnson7433]

Love watching your videos sir. Huge fan of you and your family.

[@ctekken3536]

So awesome how you offered to help Keith. I'm sure he had a great time. Best of luck man.

[@petermcmanus3570]

does the type of guy who's in the boat with you have any impact on your fishing?

[@frankcouste4785]

Why does the co-angler not have a pole in his hand? Can’t cash a fish like that. Lol

Whitney always looking out for the SMC crew

What’s that top water spybait that those fish absolutely demolished?

[@davidglidwell2994]

Do you believe in the jinx not to catch a fish on the first cast of the day

[@thomashood5973]

Imagine what its like to be a bass. AFTER surviving FRYHOOD, life for a growing bass is no smooth ride. And out of upmost respect for the AMAZING gifts the Largemouth bass gives to us, we.... - Stick a hook in its face for fun - Filet, fry it and eat it - Stuff it and spray paint it - and interrupt their spawning duties, by "bed flipping" Do we really LOVE the bass?

[@paulb351]

WOW Great job showing them how it done!

[@butchdarak7622]

It only takes about 5 minutes to see that Scott was definitely brought up the right way. Scott have more and more success, your so easy to root for!

[@OfftheHookOutdoors99]

Love these series videos👍

[@krazydime0]

What happens if you suck at throwing, and they don’t catch your boat number? Do they call Billie and tell him to come down and swim over and get it for you? lol

Great couple days of some massive pigs 🐖 Great job Scott your have been killing it this season so far keep up the good work 😮😊

Appreciate it!! 🤙🏼

[@frankcouste4785]

I’m curious. Why don’t you just keep a pack of the Bandido bugs up front with you instead of getting it out of the storage each time?

That would make it to easy..🤦‍♂️😭
