Huge Topwater Bass on Whopper Plopper and Buzz Frogs 

That 8.5 lbs Bass was great. Glad the gator didn't get him. Guess a Whopper Plopper will be my next purchase. Thanks Roland.

Mr. Roland, I bought my first whopper plopper because of your video last year. Now it is my favorite way to fish. My five year old loved mine so much she had to have her own haha

What a days fising Roland! I've never caught a large mouth bass in my life. But watching you fish, is like being right there with you. Thank you for sharing and spending all this time doing youtube videos. All the best, Eivind --> from Norway.

Roland Martin...pysching out the gator. He thought he was fast enough to get that lure, but Roland's reel was just a little bit faster. LOL.

Roland is not a Bassmaster,He's a Grand master he work his way to to the top catching large mouth.Earning the trophies.

I enjoy watching the I just wish I was fishing , thanks for all the great videos

Loved the GATOR action!!🤣🤣🤣 Next step on the canoe...GoPro on the bow. My next step...... GO BUY A WHOPPER PLOPPER!!!

Robe rich or a Bass land, its just wonderful to see you fish out of your John boat or Canoe. This was a great video. You show people that you don't need to rich or in a $25,000 Boat to enjoy fishing, or to catch huge fish. I am 63 years Old and I have watched you your whole career. It is nice to know the Best Bass Fisherman who has ever lived, is still so down to earth. Thank you for sharing all your up lifting videos.

This happened to me a few times while fishing top water... what amazed me is how well these gators see the lure even when you throw away from them. Another fun video, keep them coming Roland :-)

Love the gator touch. LOL

You’re the best, been watching you all my life. Just want to say hi 👋 from Canada 🇨🇦

ROLAND, YOU OL DAWG! Catching more than one or maybe two bass that big in a season is a good summer. But you catch that many almost in a row in one afternoon is why I've been following you for 50+ years and you are a legend. SON! Again, thanks for sharing my friend.....

That gator was freaking awesome. I would have pooped my pants!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow that’s cool big bass and gators what fun!

NICE ROLAND! BIGGUNS! I've been watchin your shows and following you and Scott on the tourney circuit for over 30 years at least. Thanks for sharing all your tips and techniques during that time. Topwater is my favorite way to get em, as I'm sure it is for alot of us. I've been so jealous of all you guys (RU-vid Fisherman) being able to get out and fish. Our stupid governor closed all fishing everywhere here in Washington State 2 months ago. Couldn't even go fishin by myself! Just yesterday, he announced that hunting and fishin will open back up next Tuesday May 5th. Thank God! Thank you and Scott for all your RU-vid videos and TV shows to help keep me "somewhat" sane during all this craziness!👊👍👊👍

hahaha that looks like to much fun playing with that gator lol

Great video Roland, best fishing channel on RU-vid.

"Smack him with the paddle" lol great vid Roland!

7:33 smacked in the head with the lure and recover to catch that fish! Epic!

Dang nice stenchoroo on the whoppin ploppin! Badass roland!

That gator would've ended the day for me!!! Seeeeeee ya!!! 😂😂 You're awesome

Wow what a great day! Another awesome video by a true legend. Thank you Roland

Theres no excitement like catching a monster on a topwater bite!!😃

Absolute dream to go fishing with this guy!!!

Cooped up in Alaska is making sick. My love for fishing here is drained . Rivers closed due to poor king and silver salmon returning and the pike get really good for a very short period of time, till people go out and destroy the pike. We were planning on moving to Florida only to have China destroy the dreams of many. I just love your show . My wife and kids are still dreaming of fishing for bass and saltwater fish someday. Lol I’m sick of trout fishing. Needing the dream to come true. Thank you for Keeping the dream alive God bless you and thanks Roland for all the wonderful videos. This one was awesome 😎

You're a stud Roland! I love your videos and thank you for passing on your legacy!

Perfect example of what it means to have a great time with nature

Roland you are a fishing machine

Lol. Like playing fetch with the dog.

Great bass , great guy catching them . Thank you mr Martin

I’ve caught lots of Steelhead and Salmon, but nothing beats seeing a big bass hit a frog

Dang...that bass on the frog was cool😊

This was my favorite video by far! I love how you keep the imperfections in your video because it gives so much credibility to the experience. Awesome fish and love your adventures

Awesome bass. That alligator scene is something else . Lol. I’d love to fish where you are but I’ll pass on the gators I guess.

Thank you for these great Fishing videos

You rock Roland!!! That was really fun to watch and learn.

cool deal Roland that canoe is really the deal

Hey Roland thanks for sharing that big fish top water day. Scott should watch your videos so he can see how to catch the big big ones. LOL

At 10:45 I thought I saw an Alabama Rig, but it was a fleet of buzz frogs preparing for battle! Thanks for the great video!

The first thing I caught on a lunker lure was a 2 ft. Alligator, around 2 ft. I really didn't measure it. He wasn't any happier about being caught than I was about catching it. It was in a drainage ditch close to the oil rig I was working on around Baytown. That lil gator wasn't happy with me using a BIG pair of Channel locks to unhook him even tho it ruined my lunker lure! He scratched my leather glove up too. Some Cajuns on Frank's Casing Crew wanted him fore supper but I always was a catch and release kind a guy even then in 1969 after 2 tours of Nam behind me. The second lunker lure caused a backlash and when I dug the thing out and started reeling a 5 pound Bass slammed it when it was still underwater! I just thought about this when you started fishing around gators. I saw your frog video about changing the 4/0 hooks with the 3/0 and I spent 70 dollars give or take a few. I love your videos after watching you, Dance and Houston since your hair was combed and yalls teeth was shiny, mine was kinda shiny to. From one old 100% disabled Veteran to another Veteran, Thank You for Your Service Sir..

Choot em Roland!

BASS AND A HALF FOR SURE! AWESOME CATCH AND GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS! 7.5 SON!

amazing session sir. I’m watching this all the way from Dubai in this lockdown times! fishing vicariously through you 😃

HaHaHa! Roland consider that a compliment that you haven’t lost your...... Animal Magnetism..... 😂🤣😂 Ornery lil Gator ! HaHa! Hey I just wanted to tell ya I’m really happy to see ya here on RU-vid Mr. Roland Sir.. I always liked your show growing up.. & I’m enjoying your videos you are making even more... 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

WHAT A BLAST!!!!!!!!!

Most of my biggest bass have always been top water. my PB is still 8 pounds, on a jitterbug lol. I caught it literally on my last cast at sunset when I was 11 or 12 years old. That was such an awesome memory. I'm 35 now, and still trying to too it lol.

I love how excited you get when you catch em, and thanks for all the tips, Technics!

Those were monsters!!! Congrats Roland! You keep crushing it. I send your videos to all my friends and my dad 👍

love the gator shot!

Way to tell that 🐊 gator off Roland. Probably some young punk looking to harass.😆Great video! Thanks.

Great video Roland I like top water bites

Nice save at 7:33! I just learned a lesson in patience and second chances.

7:15-7:35 was hilarious!

The greatest of all time right in my backyard. Hello from a Naples Floridian

Been there! Like you had to move, the gators are insistent on getting the lure. Happened several times, oh well, that's Florida!

8:46-8:47 the lure hit you in the head Roland!! What a bass though wow

I thought the second giant was 10 for sure.

The true legend of legends..absolutely great Roland..you are a inspiration at your age..may God bless u

Roland can catch anything even a Alligator. lol

"Stop molesting me! I'm not molesting you!" lol definitely more calm than I would have been. But that 7.5 lb large mouth was a beaut! Nice catch.

Huge stenchoroos!!

Two more days and there will be enough lakes open for us here in Illinois and even my favorite Sangchris just S.E. of Springfield !

That's so funny he said I'm not molesting you, your molesting me! Lol 😂

Monster Bass on Whooper Flopper. Glad the improvement is catch and release so others can enjoy catching those Monster Bass. 👍🎣 Roland.

Roland, I’m waiting for your devil horse viideo!

Great video but I don’t think Will truly realizes who he’s fishing with. Lol
