I restored my old favorite lure and took it out to see if it still works. This was one of the best days I’ve ever had down here. Thank you to Spike-It for making the kit. www.ispikeit.com/category/35/...
I think I counted 4 lost fish on the restored top water. They didn't look like cichlids, they were too long, they were bass. I'd change the treble hooks, longer shank, larger sizer, bigger split ring, finer wire - SOMETHING! After watching that I think I'd do better without treble hooks, maybe dig around in the tackle box and stick some 2/0 or 3/0 hooks on there.
Roland, I love the way you reach out to the low end fisherman like me. I kayak fish with a 5 pole rack behind the seat, all rigged different. It works great, but I want a bigger boat for fishing and trapping food, a Jon Boat would be great.
You're the best Roland. I've been watching you for 35 years, my dad longer than that. Not only are you entertaining, but we learn from you also. Keep up the great videos
Well said! I couldn't agree more. I had tge pleasure to meet Mr. Martin back around 1990. Very cordial gentleman. We could use a few more like him these days.
Roland I have watching you for years and I am talking about from the 70s I remember you taking Scott out in a Bass tracker around the Clewiston Scott was about 12 years old he did not even show any interest in fishing at that time you and your Wife should be very proud of his career and his fine family, Roland keep on making videos and catching those monster fish !! Thank you for all you and your family have done for the sport of fishing.
Mr. Martin , sir you truly are the real deal. I've read your book 101 secrets and I can't begin to tell you how many times I saw jaws drop when I showed photos of the size and quality of bass that I caught following the tips you shared. I even ordered some of those old time lures , worked them like you suggested and was rarely disappointed and stunned that the strikes were always about the distance from shore that you experienced. Thank you again sir , you took my bass fishing to a level I never imagined possible.
They didn't use split rings in the old days but you can get better hook ups with and split ring on each hook, it you don't already have them. Some people just have a bad attitude putting thumbs down on your videos. I think they are great. They might just be a competitor.
Excellent Roland and probably Brandon (filming , editing). See you added a tiller on transom of that boat to keep back end from swapping around on you. As another commenter said, great entertainer as well as great teacher. Thanks so much!!!
I'm waiting for the day when they come out with push button electric reels and Roland can have a senko in one hand and a floatin' frog in the other. I'll call that the top water/under water "double whammy". Look out. Fins up!
I'm glad Mr Martin practices catch and release . If it weren't for that , none us could ever catch a bass. These pros have caught them all and are kind enough to let us catch them by putting them back. Lol 😀🎣
Having flash backs to my youth watching the Saturday/Sunday morning fishing shows and then running off to try what I saw. My buddies dad had a nursery with a five acre irrigation pond and we used to tear them up with a Johnson Silver Minnow and a moccasin colored fire tail worm.
Man, gotta love Topwater fishin’. Nothin’ better🌎🇺🇸🦅💦🌴🏝🐊. Then ya got the tap tap of a soft plastic,,,, Roland’s Back Yard🌎🇺🇸💦 The Best Fishin’ around the U.S. Cool Boat Roland,,, ain’t gettin’ no Bass Boat back in there🌴🏝💦🍃🐠💦💦🍃🏝🌴🐊🏝🌴🦅 Backin’ up your lure, Very Cool🇺🇸
Did he have a heart attack or something?I saw on a show he said "I'm back I'm gaining strength and getting able to fish against that effect and he could only walk a few feet and stop and breath heavy he was REALLY slow people used to say "they have divers to put fish on their line and "their just actors getting excited after all these years from catching a fush"do you really believe they get excited after 50 years of fishing over a small fish they act like their really excited
I think there's a confusion because I've not had any health issues other than the last few years I've used a longer handle rod to help me set the hook better. I'm not as strong as I was 30 years ago!
midwestfisherman for real Roland was on a show a few months ago and was say ing he was back fishing and said he 'was getting stronger "fishing off the bank it turns out he probably meant he's fishing more again since he retired from bass he recently demoed his equipment for a Florida fishing tournament he's probably already fished its a good video he also started doing RU-vid vids last year since he retired from bass probably what he meant as far as fishing show conspiracies conspiravgbtheories didn't "just start after y2k"there Re 3 main tv fishing conspiracies I'm my area since the 79s and 80s because these people don't catchbfushime Roland and bill dance they ja e 3 theories (not the obvious lack of experience and k kwmedge on their own part)but ah that's vs their having divers to out fish on their lures for these shows their using anchors instated if trolling motors (robotic trolling motors just got in style look up Kevin van dams new boat vid) these conspiracy theorists can't catch fish or run the trolling motor theorv3rd classic theory is "their using underwater camera to find fish "and "showing the lures and fish underwater on tv proves it"conspiracy theorowz ain't newsince "y2k"these are from the 70s and 80s and the same people sure though her Lawler and Memphis wrestling was real case in point look up "who.murdered John cena" a recent video and the nut tries to build up to pin 8t on r8c flair and john cena is alive naturally people Really had these tv fishing conspiracies in the 79s and 80s maybe they thinkb8t makes them.look "clever and important:I just passed it along for entertainment the next time you and your friends watch a fiahomg show bait them and say I never catch fish like that and remark "they got divers putting fish on their lures "you'll learn "whose the dumbass"
