  • Catching Big Bass while fishing from the shoreline or bank. Bank fishing is most economical way to start fishing..Grab a rod and a few lures and go. Hopefully this video will show you some tip on how to catch some big fish.

    No exaggeration, I've been landing twice as many bass as the past few seasons from Roland's videos alone. I spent so much time focusing on which baits and gear, and missed all the small things like cover and location. He makes it so much simpler. You're the goat Roland, and you make everyone feel like an adventurous kid again when we fish.

    You have graced the pages of so many fishing magazines, books, and web sites and have inspired and motivated anglers from all over the world. As a spindly young angler in the 1970s, my dream was to fish Lake Okeechobee. In the early 1980s me and 2 friends packed into a 2 seat hoda crx hatchback, and drove all the way from Massachusetts, to live that dream! I still have a single 12" Hummer Hawg worm left from that trip, still in the original package.! Anyway, I see your busy as ever, teaching and sharing so much for so many.
    Just wanted to say THANK YOU for inspiring me and so many other anglers, to share in that dream life, whether or not they made it to Okcheechobee !

Texas rigged on a industrial pond. Only thing I noticed was trying to keep the big bass from jumping was to keep the rod tip down. Its works really well why trying to land bigger fish. The color that works for me is Green pumpkin. See ya! At the Lake's. Shawn

    Late to the party but can't tell you how much I learned from and enjoyed this video! Predominantly a bank fisherman my whole life (I'm 68) this was of particular interest to me and I look forward to more great videos as I go through your episodes like this one. You inspire confidence in a sport that had gotten so overloaded with gimmicks and commercialism that the simplistic approach was forgotten in favor of speed and technology. Bass don't have eyelids, sunglasses or hats is the kind of critical thinking I enjoy the most while laughing at the same time! KUDOS and thank you for a GREAT video!!

    Roland Martin could be the most big headed professional bass fisherman out there and if it were anyone else,they would be but yet he's got the most humble attitude. I respect the crap out of him. A guy like that will reach a lot of new anglers and start them off having respect for one another.

    Roland Martin, Jimmy Houston, Hank Parker, and Bill Dance are true LEGENDS of bass fishing imo. They caught big bass without all the technology that all the bass fishers have these days. They’d have huge final weigh in bags of fish at every tournament just by using Brain power! They’d catch big bass everywhere they went! Knowing where to fish, what color to use on any day of the year, and how to fish plain and simple!!!! Love watching these videos

    Watching this video brings back the memories of watching one of your videos 30 years ago of when you were wading and casting a gold colored Johnson Spoon with an Uncle Josh pork rind trailer....
    Sorry that I am showing our ages with this comment Roland! Lol....
    I also remember attending the last day weigh in of the Bassmaster Top 100 on the Connecticut River when you ran north to just below the Enfield Dam and kicked their tails matching the hatch with the combination living rubber/hair jig and twin tail trailer( if I'm not mistaken the trailer was a Yamamoto).
    I've caught plenty of smallmouth on the river over the years using that exact pattern! You really have to downsize the jig now with all of the fishing pressure. You were a huge inspiration to me back then when I was in my 20's. (The Yamamoto twin tail became my go to jig trailer from that point on)

      they don't make the uncle josh anymore? that is kind of sad. i remember using them when i was a kid. i wanted to ask also if Roland or any of you guys tie directly to the hook with the braid or do you use some flouro as a leader?

      I grew up in Windsor Locks just down river from the Enfield damn. I fished there all the time as a kid. I use to ride my bike on the bike canal trail that goes from WL to the Suffield side. Fond memories.

    • @russb296
      @russb296 Před 5 lety

      @@sofloangler7990 I can remember being up there in that clear water back in the 90s and be amazed by the schools(6-10 fish) of 2 - 3+lb Smallmouth you could see roaming the flats. I haven't been up there in years so I don't know how it is nowadays. I dinged many a prop trying to get my boat up there.

    Mr Martin, Bill Dance, Jimmy Houston, Shaw Grigsby, Hank Parker, Orlando Wilson, even Fish Fishburn, made up my Saturday morning lineup when other kids were watching cartoons. I dug watching the In Fishermen at times as well. If ever I was to be envious of someone else’s profession, it would be one of them.
