Topwater Devils Horse for Big Bass

[@jamie.777]

Look at that youngster in the Canoe! Roland Rocks

[@608tttv]

This is kinda funny livin the good life!!!! With a 1,2 punch 🤛 to bass fishin

[@marcuscordova5717]

Just got back from the lake and now I get to sit back relax and watch this. man life is good

[@1Chiccone]

Love the channel Roland, been watching you since I was a kid, 54 now.

[@rodneygreen9968]

I'm 64 & still Learn form Roland Martin. Watched him since I was a Little Kid. Now I'm an older kid enjoying fishing.

[@toddknox685]

And I'm 78, just slightly younger than Roland. I was watching his video of him putting those bumpers on each side of his canoe and he was sitting cross legged on a concrete garage floor. Well I wondered if I could do that. Well, couldn't stand it anymore, paused the video and sat down on the floor cross legged. Then I wondered if I could get back up. Well, I did and was proud of myself and Roland. He goes on with his project which was to eventually fall out of the canoe and climb back in. OK, I haven't been to the lake yet, but buddy when I do you know what I'm going to do, yessir. Hey, 80 is the new 70. And, if the conditions are right I'll be throwing a Devil Horse or some top water.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Love the videos! Been a fan for a long time! Would love to come fish with you sometime!

[@andrewn6271]

Oh man, two of my favorites for learning about fishing. I would love to see this collaboration happen!

[@josephnywayfarer1345]

Devils Horse is a classic lure. Still works, still catches fish like my hero, Roland the great American fisherman

[@5pointstar78]

I was turned onto fishing the Devil's Horse by Mr. Roland Martin in the early 90's, I think it was a magazine article. I caught my biggest bass with one.

[@whyohwhy357]

How could you dislike a video that shows someone with that much knowledge that is willing to share ALL of it?

[@CfRlCajunfishRiplips]

Growing up watching you and Jimmy both on TV. It is absolutely incredible that you and him are still going strong here on KZbin!

[@countdowncityfishing9932]

That is what i love about your generation of bass fisherman now dont get me wrong i love the modern bass fisherman they are changing the game bringing younger kids into the industry but with u Mr. Martin u dont need fancy b roll and fancy edits just u and the water and the biggest plus in my eyes is the teaching ur doing in ur videos you are a legend and could just fun fish for the rest if ur life and nobody would care but instead ur out here teaching us a thing or too i love it please keep the vids coming i hope to meet u one day u are my idol ur son also and to shake ur hand one day would be a great honor.

[@ltroberttjeffcoatsr9959]

Roland, I have a DEVIL'S HORSE with the same pattern. I bought it in 1972. Thanks for showing me the proper way to fish it. Lt. Robert T Jeffcoat Sr.

[@ddeininger5343]

I love fishing top water just as sun is coming up and right before dark. Keep up the great videos and I really wish I was there fishing with you.

[@jamie.777]

ROLAND LOOKS AMAZING!! Love this man

[@kybassfishing856]

You are a legend man i have never seen someone your age get out on the water and be invested in fishing as much as you are

[@dadsduce]

Nothing better than top water bass fishing. My heart races every time I see them blow up on the lure.

[@twistedbranchesfishing]

I grew up fishing in Minnesota in the spring and Florida in the summer/fall every year with my snowbird grandparents. Our lures of choice were the Jelly Worm and Flatfish up north, then topwater lures and Jelly Worms down south. My retirement plan involves fishing and grandkids of my own and you'd better believe that I bought a half dozen Devils Horse lures to get me started!

[@chrisbramblett5611]

i learned a lot about topwater today,

[@jeffstacklebox]

One of my favorite all time topwater bait styles. I use something very similar made by Sam Griffin over in Moorehaven. In that case it’s called a Moonshine Special. Really enjoy your canoe fishing adventures. It’s getting me back into my own canoe . We sometimes forget simple dependable gear is still going to get us to the fish. Thanks Roland for a few minutes of joy. Keep the fun coming sir 👍😁

[@RolandMartinOutdoors]

I have enjoyed fishing with Sam!

[@jeffstacklebox]

Roland Martin Outdoors That’s something I’ve always wanted to do. He makes up lures for us every year for our annual Lake of the Woods Canadian trip. It’s a special tradition our family has had for decades. Each trip every angler makes their first and cast with a Mr Sam’s lure. Sometimes those casts and the many in between produce great fish. This year is the first in over 50 years a member of our family is not fishing Canadian waters. COVID prevented the trip.

[@johnmitchell1419]

So today I put my deposit down on a 2021 tracker pro team 175 twx with a 75hp Mercury. As I was filling out the paper work it asked how did you hear about us. So I put Roland Martin. Now lets see if I can practice everything you have been showing us. Thanks for a great video.

[@baldbassfishing5963]

You always take me back to my childhood. Thank you for the videos

[@jamesledene3733]

You are the upitimy of greatness! Thank you for your enthusiasm

[@SWCFLORIDA]

We fish a Bitters swimbait on the surface right over the grass the same way you do the horse...Explosive results...Love fishing the same waters as a Legend...Stay Safe

[@mattyjay8883]

Still one of the best top water's of all time!

[@eddiefamilyfriendsandbooze7008]

Always fun too watch. Thank you sir!

[@williamalbrecht4528]

You are one funny man i could fish beside you all day enjoy your day

[@ColtonWilson3000]

Another great fishing video Roland, love watching your videos. Been a fan for decades. Devil's horse is a classic, one of the best top water lures ever made. Northern pike love them as well folks. Not just a bass lure

[@MIddlefish]

I didn't know you had a channel until you called lunkerstv! You sir are a legend and this awesome you have a channel 😀!

[@johnfugate3432]

Used them for years here in South East Tennessee good bait early in morning

[@rodneygreen9968]

Over 40 Years for ME.

[@eljefediabl0]

I grew up in SE Tennessee, my dad was Roland Martin fan from the 70's on, I have the exact same Devils Horse (white w/black stripes) in my box that's got to be 30 years old. Kid's these days with their fancy whopper-ploppers, Devils Horse, Zara Spook and Jitterbug are where it's at ;)

[@greenboyatgafarms2250]

One the best top water baits out there. And one of my favorite top water lure.

[@sikalicious7]

I follow lunkerstv and Scott Martin because i grew up watching Roland 25 years ago and just seen Roland had a channel as he called Rob at lunkers. This is amazing!!!

[@rexb6478]

This is awesome information for us beginner fisherman! His zest for fishing is fantastic! Going to try this Friday with the wife and son.

[@saulroman6009]

Ol devils horse!! I love me some top water action!! You can't beat it. Unfortunately I'm gonna have to wait to fish again since I got all my fishing gear this past weekend!!😖 I'll just watch your videos and imagine myself fishing with you for now. Haha

[@simmer-ringJ]

I'm thinking about how much money I'd be willing to spend to be the second guy in that canoe...holding a fishing rod not a camera. Roland you're the best... thank you so much for making these videos

[@ronnieharkins2791]

Roland...I watch you almost every night. I wish you would get your ass out of that canoe and back into one of your bass boats before an alligator bites your hand or turns you over and eats you. Furthermore, it can’t be comfortable sitting there without any support or being able to stand up. You are an eighty year old miracle, don’t push your luck. Love you man.

[@RolandMartinOutdoors]

The seats in that old town canoe are contoured and very comfortable!

[@drmitofit2673]

Would be funny for the backup lure to be a Mann's Jelly Worm to go with the retro Devil's Horse.

[@brianmcclung7550]

I’ve been watching you sir for the better part of 2 years. It never stops amazing me how your true enjoyment and fun comes thru in these videos! I know you use to guide on the Santee Cooper water system. I live in Summerville, SC and fish Moultrie, Marion, and the Cooper river. If I won a Make A Wish , my wish would be to fish with you on Santee Cooper. I’m new to Bass fishing ( 1 yr ) and new to tournament fishing in these parts. Kinda tired of not knowing where to go all the time!! Anyhow I love your videos sir and you are a true legend! Brian from SC

[@joshkeith6084]

First blow up on the top water Roland misses him sends the devil horse flying....cameraman...”you got me!” Roland: Ehh and commences to fishing with the senko lmao!! Focused warrior right there !!

[@toddknox685]

And the camera man just keeps on filming. Probably yanked it out and gritted his teeth. Keep on keepin on.

[@eddiefamilyfriendsandbooze7008]

I've been fishing top water when its overcast like you've recommended and been gettin em. Thanks for the advice

[@aarondavis8224]

Awesome video. Whopper poppers can be fished this same way with great results. I may pick up that devil's horse and give it a try

[@RolandMartinOutdoors]

The devils horse is for target fishing but the whopper Plopper is to cover water!

[@ChefOutdoors]

Hey Roland.. you and Scott come over to Stuart and snook fishing with me.. love you guys👍

[@DonQuixote69]

Thank you sir for all the great videos! God bless.

[@stevenhobbs8847]

Reminds me of fishing with the ol bang-o-lure👍✝️

[@frankapplegate4852]

Clear, warm, calm and structure, got it thanks!

[@aaronsnatic2446]

My Dad's favorite lure. I need to fish mine more often for sure!

[@PopeAstro]

Roland is the man!! You got one tough cameraman too!

[@mathewmue5547]

My #1 favorite! Hard to find nowadays

[@kenmccarthyfishing]

Wow Devils Horse is an old lure,I remember that I think back in the 80 or maybe early 90’s 👍👍

[@toddknox685]

Lord yes, I think I have two left from years ago. Yep, they work and what a show. Nothing like the thrill of a top water strike whether it locks up or not.

[@rodneygreen9968]

I was fishing with the Smithwick Devels Horse back in the late 70's. I do to this day & will forever. CATCHIN Bass.

[@frankevans6584]

1974 or ‘75 for me

Todd Knox they’re still being made.

[@SocConomos]

Man Roland that 8lber exploded on that devils horse, I had a big grin watching you fight that hog.. I have been tarpon and snooks every day on my charters it has been really some great stuff need to get you up here these snook slam the heart tail grub

[@1Chiccone]

Warm, calm, clear water and over cast skies might be a forth, and always end the day with a big bass.

[@dronevideos1552]

Today I learned the “line watching” reason. I was in some small bass feeding on a swarm of moths that were landing on the water and driving the small bass crazy. I was tossing a sinko and working the bottom of shallow water, maybe 3 feet deep at the most. I felt nothing but saw my line moving sideways and slightly towards me. I yanked my rod and set the hook. Fun fun fun.

[@whyohwhy357]

That's awesome! I'm trying to become a line watcher as well. Roland is a great teacher!

[@adamhalstead2561]

Devils horse is ole reliable..right up there with lucky 13 and hula poppers for catching belbeefers.

[@BenFishing23]

13:28 nice cast and catch!!!

[@edwing6307]

Good evening from Ohio, Roland would you happen to know off hand what # that lure is? Awesome videos by the way!!! Keep the good video’s coming, you’ve taught me a lot thanks & God bless...

[@arthurdavis9506]

I’ve never tried a devils horse but im gonna try one out.

[@rodneygreen9968]

I've fished the Smithwick Devels Horse for over 40 years. They DO catch Bass. Take the Propeller Blade off the FRONT & it really walks side to side. Work it SLOW for a fantastic teaser bait. Good Luck top water fishing.

[@daddyosink4413]

They really are "the forgotten lure"..... my Pawpaw used to TEAR THEM UP on one. I have his old tackle box, still use his old lures.

[@generosen999]

My favorite top water is the Heddon Tiny Torpedo sea trout, red fish, bass everything loves this top water

[@rodneygreen9968]

@@daddyosink4413 My Grandpa would catch a lot of Bass on the old Yellow Hula Popper. About 57 Years Ago, as I remember. I wished they would have had the Grass Frogs, like in today's time.

[@randyweaver9528]

Rodney Green don’t take it off. Get a Toothpick (bladeless Devils Horse. Fish both. Been fishing both since I could walk and they are the best top water baits made hands down.

[@williamlaws2353]

Roland Do a day in shop showing how you improve a factory plug

[@donalddouglas9645]

I saw this video when it first aired and bought me a couple of 4 or 5. I haven't fished them yet Roland l have been under the weather.i had a little walking pneumonia and nerve problems in my right leg thanks to agent orange. They said my heart attack was caused by the same. I may have to get a up walker jus y to fish! I lonve your instructional videos, man they teached me a great amount even though i been fishing all my life. Thamk you Sir.

[@mikedescoteaux839]

Love the top water never thought of hitting the same spot again with a sanko right after a top water hit! Still learning from the master

[@seanpickard8499]

I tried that sharpy trick coloring the wire and I caught my first two Bass, on the first two casts

[@DanTheFireman]

I watched a 5lb bass eat a baby coot right in front of me in my back yard. The next day took a black Jitterbug with Sharpie red lip and hooks and caught him. Always take a few colors to the Amazon, no Office Depots in the jungle.

[@sillyguy9828]

On july 10 i have a bfl on the Harris Chain. Im going to take notes and try this. Im a coangler by the way

Great video! Now, what the heck was the name of that top water propeller hard bait? Just kidding. Thank you Sir for the lesson. Like going to school. 2 thumbs up.

I take off the center set of treble hooks and still hook bass well. I've been stuck in the thumb too many times by the center hooks flopping around freely

[@RolandMartinOutdoors]

More hooks the better!

[@SonsoftheEagle]

WO,WO,WO you got me. About to set the hook.

[@FastEddy1959]

Observation: the knot was NOT a “Bimini Twist”. The BT only works for wire. It was a “San Diego Jam” (or a slight variation thereof).

[@RolandMartinOutdoors]

So cool

[@bluehornet6752]

Love these videos, but I'd like to humbly request that the cameraman actually focus more on the lure in the water. I mean, we can still hear RM just fine...but I'd love to see the fish hit the topwater lure in an episode like this. Not complaining, but just a thought.

[@sssox773]

Tom B Tom B I agree! I’m often interested in his technique and how he retrieves. The pace in which the line is reeled and where his target is at. The audio is good but more focus on the cast and retrieval would be superb.

[@garycox6169]

Maybe the guy behind was fishin too,or just needed some coffee

[@bluehornet6752]

@@garycox6169 Well then he drinks a lot of coffee. He moves the camera around a fair bit, so I don't think he's fishing all the much. He just doesn't quite pan the camera over far enough to catch the lure in the water. It's not a bit deal with RM is using a Senko for instance, as it's moving slowly anyway. But for something like a surface lure, it'd be really nice to see the action...

[@korbansdad]

I'm here from because of your call to rob at lunkerstv.
