Top water tricks for Bass and Snook

[@mr555harv]

Whatever Roland talks about, he makes it interesting and exciting. I hope he keeps on going forever . He is a treasure.

[@LoveLaughExplore]

Anyone else binge watching? Good stuff.

[@aqib1992]

yup

[@devlincatcher]

Yep.

[@ChorusArtists]

Seeing Roland's passion for fishing, at his age and after everything he's done, is a real inspiration. Love this channel.

[@reellifewithcinco7858]

Got me to fall back in love with fishing after a heart surgery and losing my house to a fire,,

[@devlincatcher]

I totally agree.

[@VeddeRob]

I could watch this man all day. Matter of fact been watching him since I was a teenager. Thank you

[@johnborghoff1774]

Thanks Roland you are and continue to be an inspiration to me and my fishing mind. I’m 73 and when I think it’s time to stop tourneys I watch you and get stoked again!!!!!

[@wesleyhackney]

Nothing like a devil horse. I’m 63 and been fishing with those since I was 7 or 8 so it’s definitely a classic

[@hernancontreras8585]

I can never get enough of Roland he is a good men. Thank You sir.

[@flippinggeorgia6278]

Loved watching you when I was younger and I’m thrilled to find your KZbin channel. Thanks for the great tips.

[@donayers5925]

When a big snook hits a topwater lure, it is heart throbbing!

[@scottgary3008]

Nice seeing you still on the water sharing your fishing knowledge Roland! Keep the videos coming Sir!!

[@bluehornet6752]

Great stuff RM--thanks so much for posting these videos twice per week!

[@marylewter9789]

Show these young kids how it's done Roland. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@toddhearne8614]

Grew up watching Mr. Martin and still learning from him. Such a good teacher.

[@Eric-1983]

I can't figure out where Scott gets his excitement from. It's a mystery. Lol. You're the best Roland!!!

[@bentback1]

You are a fisherman's fisherman and like you said topwater is a lot of fun in salt or freshwater. Thanks for the video.

[@e.cabanjr7511]

I love this channel and love that guy! Always honest and to the point.

[@troyvanorman8657]

Thank you Roland. Thank you for showing us with each video the absolute pleasure you get from doing what you love. I watched you with my grandpa when i was a baby bass, watched you into my early adulthood, and now I am thankful for finding you here. Sharing your knowledge is much appreciated and priceless. I have yet to walk away from a video of yours without the reminder of enjoying your day and take time each day to have fun and enjoy the simple things.

[@noahmacik8906]

Man I love these videos reminds me so much of fishin with my pops 😂 keep up the good KZbin work ole son 😂

[@JohnnyQuestFishing]

I loved this video. I miss being home. Yea, most of South Florida is made of oolitic limestone. That's how that guy Ed Leedskalnin built the Coral Castle.. he quarried 5 to 30 ton lime stones to make the Castle Rock as he called it. Anyway.. its is very interesting to watch how salt water fish come into fresh water or brackish waters ways anyway..YEA..the Everglades, I don't know if it still considered the slowest moving river in the world, but I know it is about 60 miles wide and around 100 miles long.. one of the greatest places to fish. Thanks for sharing this Roland..You brought me some back in the day memories man..

[@MarktheMartian]

Roland dropping knowledge right and left that was a really good deal!

[@michaelinraleigh]

It was so cool seeing you catch snook. It's nice seeing you catch multispecies. Love to see some Jacks, Reds too

[@theramblingbard]

Mr Martin keep it up! I learn something every time I watch you. Thanks!

[@FishinWithBourbon]

You're doing a great job Roland. I'm loving every video. I enjoy watching Scott's, Lunkers and LFG's videos, but I learn way more watching your videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and keep up the good work!

[@gggggeeeooorrrgee]

Roland is so good that he doesnt need nothing but hook nubs on his lures

[@kevinclavey1163]

Thanks for sharing Roland. I bet even the gators know you like we do. " The Legend " 👍👍

Thanks again, Roland!! Great stuff.

50k subscribers on the horizon! Could you do a vintage lure video and maybe fish with some?

[@e.cabanjr7511]

MrFlashtone Great idea!

[@eastwoodccj]

Thanks for the videos Roland! Reading your book, 101 Bass catching Secrets and it is making a big impact on my catching! THANKS!

[@frankaylwardjr4986]

You can really tell how much you enjoy fishing. Thank you for the tips!

[@rrrr635]

Thanks Roland. I wish I was there canal fishin'.

[@Anthony-wi1ny]

Roland Your The Best GOD BLESS

[@billcrow5403]

Looking good! I like that hat too, and that heritage boat! I fished a few canals east of Orlando and didn’t catch any snook. Next time I’m down there I’m going to try, if they’re up that far.

[@thedookster4143]

I just found a whopper plopper a few days ago when I reeled in a cast, thought it was muck but i was dead wrong. I'm gonna try this top water thing that you make look soooo easy...thanks for the extra tips bud.

[@lannonjohnson201]

Roland come fish with me and my buddy in santee!!! You'll love it

[@Nflguy4949]

Hi Mr Martin. I have been using a senko to catch bass ever since watching your videos during covid. Last week I was retrieving the senko fast so it would be top water when passing a spot i normally get snagged at. While it was top water it was hit by a big old 4 pound bass.

[@dustinhunt7440]

Hope to see more top water videos from the King of Bass and tell us what kind of plugs and top water baits you like to throw and why

[@michaelangelo6947]

Thanks again for educating me more.

[@jefffleck5196]

Thanks for your channel Roland

[@getoffmylawn8986]

Roland, you've inspired me to revisit my top water fishing. As a side topic, it seems as though the fish I foul hook the most are snook. I don't know if it's the way they hit a plug or what, but it's fairly frequent.

[@user-ij6xs4ut7j]

Keep them coming please sir!

[@evidz6123]

[@jamie.777]

Snook is a fun catch.

[@livinglifeoutdoorstv6550]

I’ve had a distaste for RM since the 1990’s especially after the helicopter lure debacle. But I am really enjoying these less produced cheaper videos. They are heads and tails above the TV series. It has a relaxed feel, less salesman presentation and is just real. I think RM shines with this “face to face” conversation style rather than the elitist produced salesman style.

[@jacklowe3788]

That's Great brings back old memories fishing down there back in the '70's!

Do you spoil a real with only floral carbon on a bait cast , or just use liters ? I have used Berkeley braid for a number of years. Is their a better braid out their ?

[@UltimateNinja1984]

Use Mono main for most Topwater

[@UltimateNinja1984]

Braid works great too

[@UltimateNinja1984]

Power pro and Berkley Fireline is great Braid imo

[@kimsatterfield2749]

Hay Roland you are the man what was your set up for that day

[@cyberaquarist]

Top water fishing is my all time favorite. Favorite baits are Zara Spook, Lunkerhunt leopard frog, and Doug Hanna’s 12” black snake. Like you said Roland, calm water, low light, warmer water, and semi clear to clear water are ideal. I always tend to catch bigger fish on top water. Great video!

[@RolandMartinOutdoors]

Sounds like you have a great system

[@heybeaches]

Post a video of your funniest fails, we all have them on the water lol it would be funny

[@fresnobassn744]

[@delmac5362]

Good stuff Roland...I pond fish and notice the bass jumping sometimes. What sort of lure should I use when the bass are jumping?

[@RolandMartinOutdoors]

Are you sure that the jumping fish are bass! Bass jump very little but chase minnows and swirl! Use a topwater!

[@UltimateNinja1984]

Devils Horse ;)

[@DavidBrown-ue3wq]

Dear Sir, I am enquiring as to the efficiency of your home made WHITE senko. To me it should be sensational. In Australia we have many grubs that appear as predominantly white and the senko could be cut into 3 pieces to emulate these insects. Was white a colour that seemed to work on your fish ?

[@UltimateNinja1984]

Roland, Do you still throw the Spit n image topwater any??

Hey Roland! Do you have any tips on fishing the mouth of the Caloosahatchee? I'm going there in July and honestly I have no idea what I want to use other than D.O.A shrimp or jerkbaits/topwater.

[@RolandMartinOutdoors]

Call a couple of local guides for I'm not very familiar with that water

[@xtraflo]

Is that a Snook @00:29?

[@CatfishRon007]

ok so yesterday at a lake the water temp was low 50s but i had a storm front moving in with overcast skies the bass hit nothing on top water no whopper plopper no top water had a pretty good wind going with lots of chop on the water i did catch bass off of a black worm and caught both trout and bass off a rooster tail. How would you fish a lake with wind over cast skies and water in the lower 50s? also i brought a bucket to take the trout home with , and it had a bubble machine and all the trout died even with a bubble box the outside air temp was 72 did they get too hot in the bucket and how would you transport rainbows so that the live?

[@RolandMartinOutdoors]

Water temps in the low 50's makes everything tough and eliminates some patterns like topwater!

[@SGTARTFUL]

Question... So I was watching this new young kid do a how to fish video. Mind you I grew up watching you. However this kid basically said unless you are using a Bait Caster Reel you will never catch the good fish. I honestly only have used a Spinning Reel. With all that being said he tried to give a crash course on how to use a Bait Casting Reel which I liked. But it was way short and my question is can you do a how to video for a Bait Caster. The Kid said good things but was so fast that I am a bit lost. Your videos are a bit slower and geared to more of my generation.

[@JohnnyQuestFishing]

Just as a note my friend, the day you catch the biggest fish of your life, Its gonna be on what ever you are fishing with that day. Two things to share with you. One, NO, you don't need a bait caster to catch the good ones, but you do need to use right line, rod, and reeling speed depending on what you are doing, that is not to say using the correct lure and colour. And two, the biggest fish I have ever caught was a Goliath Grouper with a 160 lbs mono on a hand line and YoYo, 270 lbs while living in Florida back in the 80s.. Now as for using the bait caster. I am sure Mr Martin will make a video that will be worth watching, but wanted to share this experience with you, because a lot of folks out there will say many things and all to their own opinions. Just like some folks like using certain brands, certain types of line, or even certain knots for tying hooks, they will express only their experience. With that note, if all you have ever used is spinning tackle, there is nothing wrong with that at all. .some of the biggest fish on the planet have been caught on what we don't even imagine.. the US Record Bass of 22lbs and 4oz was caught in 1932 by a fisherman fishing a fintail shinner and he wasn't even trying to catch the biggest fish.. he was out getting dinner.. LoL..Good luck my friend and Tight Lines

[@RolandMartinOutdoors]

Spinning tackle is great and will get the job done now that braid is an option

[@colbyjdutton]

[@colbyjdutton]

You know one of my cousin's Lynette she used to work for you at the Marina for years

[@Turn0vers]

I'm wondering how at the beginning when the snook broke that hook off the spook bait how he was just like "Oh Well... I got a plug." Most commoners like me would be pretty disappointed in that because that's not a cheap bait by any stretch.

[@RolandMartinOutdoors]

I didn't have a spare

[@contrnsmagnificndjoobngtaint]

[@RolandMartinOutdoors]

The pin broke the other day and the watch went into the lake! Luckily, it was shallow clear water and I got it back. That's the second time in 25 years that the band broke and it went into the lake!

[@David-rr8cu]

I wonder how many millions of fish Roland has caught in his lifetime..... or should I say millions of fish this year?

[@chrisnelson6682]

I bet that gold chain is enchanted with +4 Fishing.

[@tiffsaver]

I found that snook are the closest thing to freshwater largemouth I've ever seen. The mouth is exactly the same, in fact you can lip them just like a bass, and use the exact same techniques, too. I used a Super Fluke in white, weightless, and totally MURDERED them on spinning tackle. I'm told that the meat is DELICIOUS too, but unfortunately they have a law that restricts when you can actually take one, so I'll never know:(
