Hey Roland, about 17 years ago I sold your son a house down here in Fl. We talked about fishing, and I told him I hadn’t fished for bass since I moved to Florida. He was generous enough to take me out fishing one afternoon and show me how to Texas rig a line and catch bass out of the ponds. Today, my son helped my three-year-old grandson reel in an 18 inch beauty! Tell him I said, thank you again!! Bryan

That bass that came off made him forgot about the video for a minute lol he's caught more bass than you could imagine yet every bite still gets him so excited I love that

Great quote: "Nice bass, nice bass. Well, not much of one, but it's a fish!" That a guy with his background can get excited about catching that little bass speaks volumes about his love of the sport! True sportsman!

Hey Roland, love you man. I've been watching you since 1978 I was 8 yrs old. It was about that time that I remember the first time I ever fished a plastic worm. My grandmother and I were fishing in our pond on the farm and she pulls out a pack of the old blueberry blue worms. We caught the mess out of them that day. My grandmother years later in the assisted living place would tell people about that day and how the blue worm was the best. She couldn't remember what she had for lunch but she could tell you every detail about how she fished that blue worm.

You can tell he used to be a tournament angler as soon as he had that fish on he completely switched from a tutorial to I got to catch that fish he might be one of my favorite people in the world!!!

Lots of great pond fishing too ! Amazing what lurks in weed infested waters. Thanks to the plastic worm theres a great way to get at them. Your video is spot on . Your the best.

Roland I use to watch you on TBS in the 1980s and early 1990s with my Father. You had one of the best shows on TV and the best Intro to any fishing show. You the man!

Been fishing for bass for many years and still learning something. Thanks for video. Never ever heard anybody or seen anybody go through the gill taking a hook out to minimize a harm to a bass!

Watching him fish it's amazing how we still get excited with all the fish we've caught in our lifetime. I'm 61 years old and I still get excited

I was thinking the same thing! I met him years ago, prolly 1994-1995. He continued to fuel my life-long love for bass fishing. Inspired me so much that even now @ 50 years old, I have an 1/2 acre pond that we dug in the backyard, that I stocked with largemouth bass, bluegill, & channel cats. Love the original bass pros like Roland!!

Floating down the Bogue Chitto River and catching bass on topwater lures is some of the best times of my life. I wonder if there will be fishing in Heaven.

I will never get tired of any of your videos, Roland. They have made me a far better bass angler i was 4 years ago! I love your on the water tutorials, e.g. the abc's of worm fishimg, etc. Stunning man and legend' even here in South Africa!!

S O N ! ! ! Roland, I've been watching you on tv for what, over 40 years now. Your hair's a little whiter now (and so's mine), but you haven't lost a step at all. You and Bill, and Jimmy (Oh! And let's not forget Jerry McKinnis) have been my biggest influences. Thank you Sir, for all of the entertainment, and education.

Son , nobody has taught my generation about bass fishing more than you. Thanks

I had never caught a fish without using natural baits like minnows and worms until during covid when Mr Martin through this youtube channel introduced me to the Yamamoto Senko in Green Pumpkin. I have caught sooooo many bass since then. Thanks!!!!!

I love worm fishing it catches bass year round I always have a worm and a jig tied on. Roland you're the best 👍 Just don't tell Jimmy 🤫

Every Sunday morning me and my baby bother would watch Roland Bill dance and vargal Ward and then go fishing the good old days

Excellent video. Mr. Martin. You break everything down and it really allows the audience to gain so much knowledge.

My two favorites are Roland and Mr crazy Bill dance I learned so much from them in my childhood anybody new to bass fishing need to listen to them they know what they are talking about

I'm 47, I've watched your fishing shows since elementary school, so far back I can't remember not watching you. Thanks, Roland!

I am 65 years young, I have been fishing a long time. I always enjoy listening to other and hearing tips. I like bass fishing as well as catfish. Have fun and enjoy fishing.

I'm 43 and when I watch Roland I turn into a 14yr old child. Thank you Roland

Thank you for sharing! One time when I was about 8 years old (Around 1991) I lived in the ghetto in California in the Bay Area and I was riding my bike around the neighborhood and saw a garage sale and they had a bunch of fishing poles in a 5-Gallon bucket for sale. I saw a pole I liked and picked it up and was just playing with it imagining myself somewhere by some water away from the ghetto because I had never been fishing before... When the garage sale owner walked up, he was an off duty police officer and he had seen me around and knew my family situation because he was always getting called to my house for a lot of different stuff, so he looked at me and said "You ever been fishing?" I said "No, my dad is in prison and the only other guys around me are all drug addicts and gang members and they are always to busy and even if we ever did go to the water we can't stay long because something ALWAYS happens..." He just said "Well I know thing's are not easy for you but you are a good kid and maybe one day you will be able to make it out to the water! And if you do I want you to be able to enjoy yourself and go fishing, so if that is the pole you like you can have it!" I got really excited but I said "My mom always tells me not to talk to strangers though!".... He said "We know each other because I come to your house often, and plus I live two blocks away so we are almost neighbors!" I said "Okay, but I don't have any money and my mom will think I stole it! If I go home with it I will get my butt spanked for stealing!" He said "Tell your mom I was having a garage sale and that I gave it to you for free! But if you don't feel comfortable taking it for free you can always take it now and maybe later some day you can come back and mow my lawn or something!" So I told him thank you and I went home and all day long I sat in my yard with just a weight tied to the end and my front yard was kind of big so I was practicing casting it across my yard, and about 3 hours of just casting it in the yard I thought to myself "I wonder if I could cast this baby all the way across the street?"... I heard a few gunshots like a block away so I was about to run inside but that thought if I can cast that far was getting me so I closed my eyes and casted it as hard as I could! At that very second a car (THE CAR) from the shooting flew by with two cop cars chasing him and when I opened my eyes I seen the drive-by car go by, my line with the weight went in the driver side window so fast it flew past the drivers mask covered face, and out the passenger window and the weight went through a hole across the street of a chain link fence and the car was going so fast it yanked the pole out of my hand and into the Monte Carlo!!!!! HAHAHA My mom knew I was outside so she comes running out because she heard the shots and the cars fly by she yelled "What are you doing? Get away from the street!" I said "No but that guys car took my fishing pole!" She yelled "Get in the house now! Didn't you hear those gun shots???" I said "Yea I was playing with my new fishing pole and it stuck to the car and went away!" She said "Fool you never even had a damn fishing pole! Get in the house now!" HAHAHA Then about two weeks later we ended up moving and I always felt bad I never got to go mow that officers yard for the pole but I was just a kid and we had moved hours away! My mom never even got to see that fishing pole and all I could do was dream of my 3 hours of ownership I had with it! I can still see it all clear as day! How crazy is that the chance I cast and it goes in one side of the get away car and out the other lol.... I also always wondered what happened to the driver.... And my pole! But I told my grandpa about it when I went to see him and he took me and bought me a pole at a second hand store. A Zebco! I am all grown up now and older and I try to fish every weekend if I can! Even if I don't catch anything! I just enjoy being at the water and away from the ghetto!

I haven’t really fished for bass. I’ve always wanted to I’ve always been a catch what is biting guy, but I enjoy just going to the water away from everything and everyone

I grew up watching you and Bill Dance. Man, you guys inspire me now just as much as y’all did back then. You are the GOAT in my opinion.

Great still watching your videos! I used to look forward to weekends as a kid watching you, Hank Parker, Jimmy Houston and Bill Dance on TNN!!

I love to listen to Roland. He’s the GOAT.

This guy is captivating. Most long videos are boring but he really knows how to break everything down and keep the audience interested. Good video sir!

At 71 years young I loved the sport of bass fishing the 101 secrets got me started in the right train of thought keep up teaching an refreshing new skills to finding an catching bass from us to u thanks for everything over the years .

Nobody, and I mean nobody beats Roland Martin when it comes to teaching. You're the best sir!

Glad he mentioned line watching. Often your line doesn't shoot out, the line just sits funny in the water.that means a fish picked the worm up but isn't running. I always say," the slower the day the slower you fish the worm." I had slow days when the only bite was from an 8lb bass . Not so bad catching only 1 fish if it's a big one!

Great job Mr. Martin I have watched your videos for sometime. I learn a lot from you. Be safe catch you on the next one.🎣

Love learning from the Bass Master. Thank you for all the hard work you do to create these videos. Please keep them coming. And your Missouri bass was huge.

Roland, nobody and I mean nobody sets a hook like you do. Been watching you for 50 years and I learned from you how to set a hook. Your speed and power is unmatched in that field.

Aww son ! Always been a fan to hear you say that

By far my go to lure for bass! Best for Florida bass fishing!

Son that’s a big ol’bass!! Timeless as ever, something that I have listened and loved for 30 years!! Thank you Roland.

Who SON !! SON !! It never gets old i have been watching Roland sense i was a kid, I am 65 now and he's still the man !! I taught my gradsons how to fish and now they watch his son Scott on KZread. Thank's For The Memories. Micro guides. What is the point of micro guides all the new bait casting rods have micro guides and I don't understand why ? Whats the point. Or is just something new to get people to buy a new rod.

From Illawarra Australis .Thoroughly enjoyed the friendly instruction and hi octane fishing .God Bless yazz.. You kept me interested all the way through.👍

Hemostats work much better at reaching through the gills to remove a swallowed hook because they are thinner than needle nose pliers and plenty strong to turn that hook 180° and back it out! I've been ysing them for over 45 years! By the way, I'm 78!

Happy Easter Cap. Great video. I miss being there but we're in the hospital room getting ready to bring our daughter into the world.

my favorite angling teacher hands down your the best bud

Been watching Roland , all my life , And he will always be the King of bass fishing, he will not steer the wrong, God bless"

Always one of my favorites.. great fisherman.. never forget the giant bass he caught with a huge crappie in its mouth

I love this guy, would love to go fishing with him

What a great channel. I had no idea you were on KZread. I used to watch your TV show with my granddad back when we had one channel and rabbit ears. He liked you better than Bill Dance...I think mainly because he was a TN fan Best wishes and blessings to you and your loved ones!

Roland Martin. LEGEND!!!

This guy sounds like the anglers from older fishing shows. I like his style.

My guy is so knowledgeable. Thanks for the tips & tricks.

Thank you sir, I still really enjoy watching your videos. Much love from Texas💪👊🇺🇸

Roland is actually the one who got me in to senkos. I hated them because I didn’t know what to do. Watched one of his senko vids a few years ago and it’s been one of my best baits ever since. Roland and Scott have turned me into quite the angler now.🤙🏼

Thank you for sharing with us I sure do apply these techniques to my fishing ,and thanks to your advice I landed my biggest bass 5 1/2 lbs this past Friday. Now I'm hooked on running a texas rig worm.

Absolute legend. The fact you just walked away mid fight to fix your camera is legendary.

Roland, I want to "Thank You" again for taking (20) minutes of your time after the BASS Seminar in Jacksonville, FL in the spring of 1987 to teach me "How To Pitch" a bait. I know I thanked you several times on the FLW Tour in 2011 when we were both fished the Tour that year. Basil Bacon taught me "How to Flip", and you taught me "How to Pitch". I was "Blessed" to be taught both techniques by the "Masters of the Sport"! P.S. You hit that "Hydrasports Cap" every time that night during your presentation. Thanks Again! Jack L. Thrasher

The Rowan Martin .I had fished against and known in the 90s , somebody else had caught this big bass that he’s posting the picture with !!!

I liked the way everything was explained!! ❤ instructions had a nice pace and good amount of info… other channels try to give you tons of info in 5 seconds making you feel rushed and leaving you confused!

This is what I LOVE about fishing! u can fish until LATE in your life unlike other hobbies just like ya boyee Roland!!🎣💯👊

He's a legend. Glad he's still doing it all these years later

Been watching the masters like Roland and Bill Dance for years. Taught me almost all I know.

Beautiful truck, keep it up.

I've been watching since I was a kid, the TNN days

That was an excellent catch!! What a huge bass!! Thank you mr roland for boosting my confidence in worm fishing. Love your videos btw. 😊

Great video. I never stop learning from you ! Thanks !

Thanks Roland -nobody shows you how unhook them👍

Thanks! Really enjoy watching your videos.

We love you Roland. Been watching since I was a kid and still learning from you. God bless you and your family in Jesus name Amen. ❤🎣

I'm glad u showed how to remove swallowed hook through the gills. That will come in handy.

It’s such a pleasure to watch a legend like your self thank you for the great tips

Great fishing tips. Always admired your show. Keep on fishing!

I literally watch all your videos everyday and I like them all to support

Just a fantastic video 👍👍

Years ago ROLAND had an episode on his show he was in Midnight Alaska throwing big spinner baits for pike. Coolest episode seeing the monster pike!! I taped it on VHS as a kid and watched it probably 100 times

thanks Roland always good info been listening to you over 30 yrs

You are a true Bass Master Roland.

Amazing how many bass I've caught casting the worm it sits on the bottom. And I'm having a protein bar or something to eat. I think a lot of people bring the worm in to fast. I'm guilty of it myself sometimes

I been watching him since I was probably 10 I am 33 now and he still gets as excited over 1 lbs as a 10 lbs and I still enjoy watching him

Im newish to fishing and i gotta say, yours is the first video i actually got interested in. Im looking forward to learning more fishing tips and techniques from you. Thank you fir sharing your knowledge!

thanks for all you do, Roland

They way that truck is parked reminds me of when I used to sneak in ponds 🤣🤣🤣

Nice Missouri bucket Roland, cant forget us northerners. Great fish up here!

the OG of worm fishin'

LOL, I remember as a kid when people used to laugh at me for fishing rubber worms when they first came out (pre-rigged Creme 6" purple, around 1964-65). Caught a ton of bass and everytime anyone asked if I caught anything I replied NO. Joke was on them!

Thank 4 the tips Rol!!👊🔥🎣
