How to pitch and flip for big bass 

I took your advice over 30 years ago on pitching and flipping. you used to say one of the important things to do is practice and that's what I do. I used to put my boat in the middle of the yard and put 5 gallon buckets all over the place and different distances and practice hitting each one of them. a lot of people that I do go fishing with are not big bass fisherman they are more live bait or a fisherman and they don't understand when I see a tree in the water I go right over there and throw my date right in the middle. they always say the same thing that I'm going to get hung up and at this point in my life I don't even bother to explain to them why this won't happen. thank you for all your good advice over the years I am so grateful that I found your RU-vid channel. Look forward to your next video.

Living legend. So much respect for this man. I grew up watching his fishing videos back in the early 90s.

as simple as this vid was, i learned so much! thanx a lot!

Thanks for this. I'm new bass fisherman and have been passing up large swaths of grass and cover because I did not know how to fish it. Again, thank you.

Roland, you’ve been a bass fishing hero of mine since the late 60’s. I watch your videos as time allows for and I’m still learning thanks to you. I’m in my 70’s now and as long as I can get out on the water, I’ll be fishing. Helps keep you young!

F ng amazing. hitting that target every time, wow.. I am motivated to learn this, just got a new rod and reel. wow. More respect for you that ever!

I like this video because you have a good definition of not only “how” but the “why” behind it.

New game. We'll call it Roland's golf. I'm telling you guys, he's the master!

I just took my first trip to Okeechobee this week and my guide spent half the morning trying to teach me this. I learned an amazing amount of info seeing first hand. I had a bad habit of loudly throwing a bait by something -no bites I moved on. The guide showed me flipping and pitching 360 degrees around some cat tails and he would find a bass when I did not. I will be practicing this. I realized I have wasted alot of opportunities over the years. I have probably passed many, many fish. Thank you very much for this video, that was very valuable info.

If roland tells me to pitch a frying pan, I'd do it. He is the voice if authority. Love his shows. Love his expertise. Love his teaching. Roland is hitting the Frisbee with almost every pitch and flip. Just amazing. Just subbed. Cuz the Master is speaking.

Bullseye ! There are no pitches outside the dish by the charismatic guru of fishing techniques ! Your vids are a joy to watch Roland !

This was more that i have learned on youtube in the least amount of time, i'm 73 yrs old and this has helped more then i can say THANKS for all the great info!

ROLAND, you are the MAN. You're Extremely Accurate with presenting the lure to the Fish. Practice, Practice, Practice. Professionally Efficient for the Senior Age. THANKS Again for a Fantastic Video. Keepem coming. SON!

Some pro casting there son!

I never really had a grandpa that fished, but since I love learning from you, I adopted you as one. Thanks fishing grandpa 🤟🏻

When you do these “How to videos” you should put in the description what you use, rod, reel, line etc. Love your vids. You are a true legend in the industry. Keep up the great work

You’re a good man and I’ve been watching you for years. Thank you for what you’ve done for the sport and what you do for us now. God bless.

Roland thanks for the advice and demonstration of your flipping and pitching techniques. You were a legend then and your still are today with a lot of us. Great Teacher.....

Thanks so much for the instructional videos Roland. Very informative, interesting and fun to watch. Please keep them coming.

Love this guy, he’s taught me nearly everything I know.

I am so happy that you are on RU-vid. Thanks for so many years of teaching and entertaining me.

Roland, its such a treat to watch you....please never stop.

My gawd son! He is freaking accurate! I need to practice, that was masterclass flipping and pitching! Roland thanks you are the goat

I've never had the patience for Flip n Pitch - but I know it's damn effective. Seeing a Pro like this encourages me to try it a little more often....

That was the best pitch and flip presentation I have ever seen on the Tube. Thanks for your efforts.

What an outstanding tutorial! I've always been a Roland Martin fan ever since he got started. Thanks!

One of the all-time great anglers' and a master teacher of angling techniques.

I met him and got to watch him fish. Roland is a BEAST.

I love this style of fishing. A great teacher is one who inspires people. I'm going out tomorrow to practice, and if I catch some then that's just gravey.

Howdy from Central Texas! Tomorrow I am going to go look for the heaviest cover I can find on the Guadalupe river and use these techniques. Thanks for the tips..and the confidence. You are the best bass fishing teacher I’ve ever seen. Thank you again! God Bless. Fish On🎣

Roland Martin is the official GOAT!! Greatest Of All Times!! Respect!!✊🏽🙌🏽🎣💪🏽🤘🏽🍻🍻

Only the MAN could do it like you ROLAND..AWESOME VIDEO AND EXPLANATION

Roland that was some serious education on the flipping deal!

Love how simple roland explains this and breaks it Down. Grew up watching him on Saturday mornings. Absolute legend.

Thanks Mr. Martin, another great video. I’ve been fishing for 40 years but just started learning to pitch last year. One thing I’ve realized is that it’s a huge advantage not having to switch hands with the rod once the bait hits the water. I reel a bait caster right handed so I made a point to learn to pitch with my left arm to avoid having to do the switch. Makes me feel extra ready for the times when I get a strike as soon as it hits the water. It was a little frustrating at first but the effort paid off. Only took a few trips out on the water and some practicing at home. Long story short; I would recommend that if someone wants to learn to flip and pitch that they learn to throw with whatever arm not used to crank the reel. Just my 2 cents. Thanks again!

Hooked a 2.5lber today doing the flipping by a small pier in Jupiter this afternoon. Your lessons are working! Keep the videos coming!

The man himself!! I'm lucky to have you to learn from. You've been fishing longer than I've been alive, you have to much knowledge that with the advent of social media im glad you got a platform because we need all the info you can give.

Son! Your accuracy is as good as ever! Great vid!

Its like going fishing with a friend who's adept at catching fish along with a teacher giving valuable lessons to boot, the best of both worlds - having fun while learning and improving your skills.

Probably will never know 10% of what you know, but thx Roland! Love your videos!

Okay I'll admit, I learned something useful here I haven't learned before, for that I thank you.

I learn so much from you. You are the BEST. Thanks for making these videos.

And your accuracy is impressive. To be expected from a seasoned pro of your stature. Thanks for teaching!

Im from germany. This guy is more american than JFK or burgers for me. Great

Great lesson, Roland. Nobody does it better. Thanks

Man I watch a lot of Bass channels but I always enjoy yours the most Roland!! Legend Also your son is a close 2nd!

That helped a lot sir. Thank you much. You make these videos like its almost a one on one session with Mr. Roland Martin himself. I appreciate the sharing of knowledge. Thank you again sir.

Great How To Video And Why It’s Important To Flip And Pitch And Jig In Heavy Cover, Thanks Roland

Great advice from a living legend. Thanks Mr. Martin, you have provided much enjoyment for many years.

I love how he educates us new fishers. I been watching and waiting for our lake to thaw. I wish I was in Dixie

Thanks for the channel Roland. Truly one of the all time best fisherman dropping jewel's on us. I booked a charter through your marina 2 months ago had a decent day. Coming back at the end of this month. I'd love to hit some summer bass. (It is the sole reason I drive 17 hours down there)

Such a great educator! Still my hero today

Great video Mr Martin,This is extremely helpful

I love you Roland. Seriously, just wonderful instruction. Thank you

Now I've got to go practice in the yard😆 for real. Thanks for sharing. Love the classes. Hope you keep them coming.

Thanks you are a very good teacher

Mr Martin, Your RU-vid channel is really coming along great. Thank you for taking the time to make and share them with us. I have been meaning to write THIS comment on several other previous videos...the only thing I would recommend is can you please use one of those clip-on microphones (the separate ones that attach onto your shirt)? Because unless you are directly close to the camera microphone it becomes difficult to hear you. The one on your shirt would allow you to move around and still be loud and clear for us. Thank you. Keep up the great work. Blessings continue for you, your family, and friends. +++

Son I love it I haven’t bass fished in years. Love watching you pitch that bate. Stay well Hal
