What a combination, Roland is a legend and Dave showed him a great time

Watching roland struggle with dave's direction was so hilarious. Big Dave has mastered patience with all his years of guiding

I read a lot of the comments about this episode. This is Big Dave's game, this is what he does for a living. Roland Martin is a client, Dave's job is teach him how to steelhead fish and land them. Watch the student learn that's what impressed me. I give Roland Martin credit for giving the pro at his discipline the respect he deserves.

Roland Martin trout fishing... I never thought I’d see this, dream come true!

Big Dave knows the river very good , loved the video, don’t stop keep them coming👏

I've been watching Roland on tv for 30 years. When I was a kid if he used it, I bought it.

totally aswome big dave and roland martin two of the fishing worlds greatest in one video

Dave is hella cool. I see a lot of comments bashing him for his commanding Roland... The way I see it, Dave knows his shit and Roland was out of his element. Steelheading is a different animal than bass fishing. I thought Dave did an excellent job of staying positive while giving instruction especially in light of the fact that Roland was borderline senile/ADD especially on landing that buck between the boat, the bank and the anchor line. As one other commentor mentioned, "Martin doesn't take instruction well." and that is an accurate statement as Dave had to tell him 5 or 6 times to get the rod tip down or the rod out or the rod up hard to move fish away from boat, anchor and in to net... The way I see it is Roland Martin probably has a hard time being instructed because he's so damn good at what he does and it's quite unnatural for him to be 'the student' in a boat. Either way, it was really cool seeing the excitement of this EPIC veteran basser hooking, fighting and landing steelhead. I'm not sure whose life was changed the most that day, his or Big Dave's. AINT THAT THE MAGIC OF FISHING? HELL YES IT IS!!

Great job Big Dave, Wilson river one of top ten rivers out here on the coast side, 🤙keep on reeling yo'll 🎣

Roland Martin is one of the fishing icons that we all can respect ....

That was a great video. That fish at the end was a stud. I like the fact that Big Dave gave a legitimate estimate of the fish's size. Most guys would have claimed that fish was over 20 pounds.

This video was a treat for me. Every Saturday morning years ago. Watching Rolland Martin fishing episodes was our religion oh son !

Thanks for the video, it was nice meeting you and Roland at the sportsman show!

I love how stunned big dave looked! That was a legendary moment between two fishing legends

This was one of the best. Dave trying to help the grand master who would not listen too well. Made me laugh

Kudos to Dave...if you were listening....you would have heard him explain how you drop slowly through the pool with your plugs and back the fish up into the tail out. Back trolling with plugs for steelhead can be obscenely effective. Black is a deadly colour. Tiring though...I did all my back trolling with the oars....usually between gear fishing the nice pools.

Great job Dave, was fun to watch.

was this Roland's first time ever steelhead fishing??

I love the Wilson... yarn balls & sand shrimp........

What a great video. One of my favorites

lmao...bass fishing for steelhead! ! and it worked !!!

I like the passion of this guide, nice content.

Great to see Roland trying new stuff! These fast moving hill country rivers are a whole new world for him I believe. Quite different from bass on Okeechobee!

Hey Dave been watching u a lot spoke to Jason at anglers west today we spoke for 45 mins I’m a a steel junkie here in the Great Lakes and guide occasionally slowly planning a trip your way Jason said your the man that knows the water hope to meet u soon and beat some chrome via doggin which I’ve introduced here in the Great Lakes region

I caught my biggest stealy on the Wilson at cedar Creek it was a native so put her back 24 lbs they are my favorite fish to catch my boss owns property from power lines to the water makes camping the best by the way you don't need a guide to hunt fish there when the fish are in omg not to mention the sea run cutthroat in late summer use the little trolling spoons made by arrow and run a legal leader with a fat piece of night crawler trialling behind and it will bring the big ones off the bottom

I want to go fish with Dave...seems like a cool guy to fish with.

With all due respect to Dave, I find it funny when he's telling Roland Martin how to fight fish... I mean it's Roland.. The guy's caught tarpon, redfish, all kinds of fish. Just kind of ironic. I know he's just trying to land em though!

An expert in one field doesn't always translate into an expert in another similar field. Glad they had a good time though and that last hatchery buck was a dandy!

Anyone got tips for bank fishing for the Wilson river?

Aye big dave

Man you guys have a lot of hatchery fish

I'll remember big important person on a internet video with people who are like that of God's, with all their wisdom and light that's shines upon all us little folk

My dad would get the same way everytime there was a fish on, I would get so much adrenaline and so nervous after I netted the fish I would have to sit down and do breathing exercises. I would ne nervous to fish w Dave but at the same token od probably learn a lot

Whatdya mean a trout is tuffer than a Bass! Not only tuffer...bigger too! Ah....kiss my bass

Roland's gonna catch some steel via bass technique lol.

Can you post the exact model number of the blue rod please!

That blue rod was the first generation Angler West RH rod which has since been replaced by a much higher quality series of rods. Please see them here: www.anglerwesttv.com/AnglerWestRHRods.aspx The 7' 3 power would be the closest match to the blue rod but if Roland had the option to choose the 7' 6" or 7' 10" 4 power that we now have, I'm sure he would have used one of the longer, more powerful rods in that situation.

I have fished the Wilson River many times. Bank access is very limited and he was merely reminding him in a professional guide like manner if that fish goes too far down stream and catches the current they would loose that spot and would have to either launch the boat and give chase or loose the fish. The thought of grilled fresh ocean run Steelhead makes my mouth water. They are a completely different animal after being in the river system for a while such as the ones that make it up to the Snake River. By the time they get up there they taste just like another trout.

WTF, get off that trolling motor and use the sticks Batman. That is a truly sacrilegious method for pulling plugs.

Big Dave is doing a little too much in this video. Tho he stays positive he's constantly barking out orders(many unnecessary) to Roland. And then he tries touching the rod while he's fighting a fish! The last time that happened to me I was a child. The trip should be enjoyable first and I know several fishermen who would be insulted if you touched their rod while fighting a fish.

Eddy Rico, it looked like Roland’s first time swinging and plug fishing steelhead and bass fishing is totally different from steelhead fishing and when you see a fish that size, you freak out and go crazy and that’s when you lose a fish and/or you shout orders that are easy to do that even a kid could do it but he just making sure he doesn’t lose the fish of a life time and it’s true, I’ve seen my self all the time shouting orders at people when I go to net there fish and I’m not trying to treat them like kids or that they never fished before but I’m just trying to help them out.
