Topwater Devils Horse for Big Bass 

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

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

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

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.

I have enjoyed fishing with Sam!

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.

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

Over 40 Years for ME.

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 ;)

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.

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

1974 or ‘75 for me

Todd Knox they’re still being made.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

@@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.

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.

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.

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

@@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...

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.

More hooks the better!

To many variables in that quest

Trial and error

Often I'll put gamakatsu hooks on it!

So cool

It's the black and white striped fat model

Roland Martin Outdoors Thank you! I’ll send you a picture of the next Frog or Devil horse fish I catch .

Sometimes gamakatsu

Roland Martin Outdoors Thank you so much 🙏🏼
