I show how to customize a canoe and make it unsinkable even with a big battery and a trolling motor! I also demonstrate the technique of getting back in the canoe if you were to fall out, which I do!
@@zipzip8239 Ha ha Zip Zip, Im 43 and I second your notion!! It aint easy climbing into any boat or canoe without a ladder. Let alone at 80 years old!!! Lol! Roland is such a good sport and what a legend! Happy fishing Zip!
Agreed. I am 64 and if get down like that I can hardly get back up . Not to mention I could never pull myself back in the boat like he did. He amazes me.
YOU THE MAN !!!!!!!! 80 years old and still as spry as 50 year old . When my deiends I were youngsters we would sing the intro song to your TV show on our way fishing . Leaened allot from you over the years
Yes, This is what i Like about Roland he stays himself, Ive watched since I was 10 when i started Bass fishing and will continue to watch, like if you remember the helicopter lure!!! LOL
Man I have a feeling you were one of the cool teachers. Mine was Mr. Green from woodshop. I regret not getting mentor by him when I had the chance this contractor business isn't easy
This might be your best video. From the math teacher revelation to the backwoods boat mods to the unexpected cannonball. A thrill ride the whole time 👍
Lol!!!!!!! Now this was funny but on a serious note, getting back into a canoe is no joke and those mods are a brilliant step for being able to return to your vessel should you fall out. Who on Gods green earth would give this video a thumbs down! Another classic from a true legend!
Wish I had Roland Martin for a math teacher and a camera that will throw me a life preserver hahah good work Mr. Martin love the videos keep them coming
you are the coolest ive been off and on watching you since 1970 the first big bass tourny and seen you through the years and you still got it at 80 hey Im 65 and been sick the last few years but even in my 50's i dont think I could have done that and gotten back in the canoe ill watch you for as long as you want to put these vids out im your's for life i also watch your son scott!
I can guarantee if you did that here in PNW your muscles would’ve locked up in colder waters here. Maybe would have been so cold that you’d walk on water to get back in🥶😁 Good lesson on how to carefully climb back into canoe though👍🏻😜 You’re a great person Roland. I just missed you when you stopped by our booth at Sportsman’s Show a couple years ago. My coworkers said you visited for about 20 minutes and you were very congenial. Wish I could’ve met ya. Stay healthy man!👍🏻
This is awesome! I just bought a canoe from Facebook marketplace. Now I’m looking at adding these floats like you have. That’s really impressive it didn’t tip when climbing back in.
I been salvaging boat bumpers and keep one or two tied to the bow on my old town canoe. I got the canoe on Facebook marketplace for $450. I'm in Pittsburgh and canoe the three rivers.
Roland, have fun but please don't think you have to impress us with risky stunt videos. Your already a national treasure and legend. Diving in shallow water can risk neck injury.
@Nickhead87 1. I am a doctor who has seen hundreds of cervical neck injuries at a level one trauma center. 2. I read Charles Krauthammer's book. He tragically broke his neck and became paralyzed in medical school but graduated reading medical textbooks on his back. I am not an random Internet nervous Nellie.
There is nobody that can touch you Roland, you are the absolute epitome of your profession. thank you for another one and giving us folks over 60 a little bit more confidence .
Awesome deal Mr. Martin. I think a bit lower is what many will say but when you have a second person in there like your camera man they are in the perfect spot. And then will keep the boat from capsizing from the weight transfer if one person goes in. Always enjoy watching your videos.
I’m quite impressed. Not only did I watch you on tv when I was a little kid, I’m watching you on CZcams as an adult and you’re still able to climb back in a boat
Great sound affects and stunt work! Gave me a much needed laugh. I will strive to be as fit as you are when I'm older. Good idea on making the canoe safer when loaded down.
What a great video Mr. Martin that’s a great canoe that they’ll never sink with all them bumpers on it look like you were having a great time making That video I had a great time watching it keep up the great work Mr. Martin maybe I’ll see you on the water someday
Roland Martin has always had the most entertaining and interesting fishing channel on TV and now the Internet. Thank you Roland for helping millions learn to love to fish.
Rolland you’re crazy 😂I didn’t expect to see you pull a bill dance I was getting a kick out of that. I swear you found the fountain of youth lol I hope I can still move like you when I’m 80.
Nice work! You can get around into tight places and find the Bass. Makes me think of going stealth mode, nice and quite compared to a big bass boat??! Well done Sir, I like it!
I am 48 and I couldn’t sit cross legged like that. And if I did I would need help to get up. I am impressed by Roland. I really enjoy these videos. I hope to one day actually find a Bass Tracker Classic XL and buy it and go fishing soon.
DAMM SON!!!!!! 80!! You know Mr Roland that was bad ass!! ~~~not too many men over the age of 40 that could get back in! Your in great shape!!~~ Made my day!
YOU SCARED THE LIVING DAY LIGHTS OUTTA ME WHEN YOU JUMPED OUT TO THE WATER POPS!! but you also got back in quite fast!!!! Very impressive for your age I think. I also think you would've climbed back in even faster if there was an Alligator nearby. Great learning Video Pops, stay safe.
Wow. I'm speechless Roland. You are amazing. You are a true inspiration to all of us. I can only hope I am as agile as you at 80. Sitting there cross legged for so long. Mind blown. Thanks again for the masterclass! Keep the content comin! Cheers! GoGo
Legend. Show me another 80 year old that can pull themselves into a canoe like that. That is not easy.
Izzy rod he was born in 1940
Hell I'm 42 and have a hard enough time pulling myself into my kayak lol.
@@zipzip8239 Ha ha Zip Zip, Im 43 and I second your notion!! It aint easy climbing into any boat or canoe without a ladder. Let alone at 80 years old!!! Lol! Roland is such a good sport and what a legend! Happy fishing Zip!
Roland Martin deserves to be in the pantheon of wholesomeness with Mr. Rogers, Steve Irwin and the likes.
Presidential medal of Freedom right there.
I would have to agree with that.
I Second this motion!
I wasn’t quite sold on the idea, until you showed it in action. The fact that you barely took on any water was quite impressive
80 yrs old and he sat with his legs crossed for 5 minutes. The man is a freak of nature.
Agreed. I am 64 and if get down like that I can hardly get back up . Not to mention I could never pull myself back in the boat like he did. He amazes me.
He’s a great American fisherman, he’ll fish anywhere, where there is water I know he’ll be there!!!! You win the iron man award Roland.
Seriously? Did I just watch Roland, at EIGHTY YEARS OLD, climb back into a canoe?! Roland, you are The King. And thanks for the math lesson!
That's why "He's a Great American Fisherman, He'll Fish Anywhere" Roland is a legend's legend and an icon.
YOU THE MAN !!!!!!!! 80 years old and still as spry as 50 year old . When my deiends I were youngsters we would sing the intro song to your TV show on our way fishing . Leaened allot from you over the years
If fishing can have you this lively at 80 years old, I know what I'll be doing for the rest of my life.
Unbelievable i am very impress. 80 years old!!!! My respect!
Yes, This is what i Like about Roland he stays himself, Ive watched since I was 10 when i started Bass fishing and will continue to watch, like if you remember the helicopter lure!!! LOL
Yep back in the early and I mean early 90’s wish I still had a full set or two they actually worked really good 👍👍
Those chopper lures are made for florida style fishing in the rough..Id like a kit they used to sell..brilliant concept.
Roland redesigned them and still sells them! Look it up, he did a few videos on them
Man I have a feeling you were one of the cool teachers. Mine was Mr. Green from woodshop. I regret not getting mentor by him when I had the chance this contractor business isn't easy
I want to be like Roland Martin when I grow up (I'm 58). You rock, sir.
Dude my hats off to you I am half your age and wouldn’t want to have to get back on my kayak
Roland I think that's great you're passionate about fishing and you're passionate about life don't ever stop
I WAS NOT EXPECTING ROLAND TO DO THAT!!!🤣🤣🤣
Roland just proved that AGE is not a number, it's an ATTITUDE!You SLAYED IT!!! 💯♥️🙌👏. Sure glad there weren't any Gators around!
This might be your best video. From the math teacher revelation to the backwoods boat mods to the unexpected cannonball. A thrill ride the whole time 👍
This reminds me of my pops..miss you big dad..see ya soon
The man is 80 years old and he does stuff like he's 30 lol. 👍🏿 He is the real deal 💯
The exhilaration of each fish you catch adds hours to your life. Roland's got a long way to go
Oh yeah sonnn!
I never knew that you were a math teacher. Awesome sir just awesome
Lol! Enjoyed coming across this one. Almost 67 years old and Roland makes me feel so young. Fantastic video, Son..
Awwwesome!!! One in a million ideas! The unsinkable canoe. [One of those; Why did'nt I think of that?)Roland, YOU Rock!
Hey Roland 80 years old, you are a beast and my hero and an inspiration. Great video
Don’t get me wrong, I like watching Scott, but I much prefer your videos Roland. You’re a timeless legend!
Roland is a national treasure.
Roland Martin you are a national treasure!
Best fishing Channel hands down!
Lol!!!!!!! Now this was funny but on a serious note, getting back into a canoe is no joke and those mods are a brilliant step for being able to return to your vessel should you fall out. Who on Gods green earth would give this video a thumbs down! Another classic from a true legend!
GREAT DEMO of that floatation on the canoe!!! thank you ill do that to mine!!!
😂😂 that’s the best thing I’ve seen all day! Made my day!
Pretty fly for an old guy! You still got it Roland!
This has to be one of the best episodes I've seen so far! Excellent!
That was awesome. I hope I’m half that cool when I’m 80
Thank you for wearing your PFD. One should be worn every single time anyone is on the water. 👍
Wish I had Roland Martin for a math teacher and a camera that will throw me a life preserver hahah good work Mr. Martin love the videos keep them coming
😂😂😂 this is great!!! "aahhhh" I know people half his age that probably couldn't get back in!!
That's funny Roland. You sounded like the guy jumping off the bridge in a Wonderful life.
I knew that Math degree I got would come in handy one day.
Roland, this was great. Good info good DIY and jumping in the water like that was a good demo too
The second jump was awesome 👏🏻
Roland you're full of life at 80 (my age too since January) . Good to see you doing so well !
I love your videos. You are a completely genuine individual.
thats truly remarkable. 80yrs old - even i dont think i would have made it
That’s a sick canoe! It’s making me want to buy a canoe and trick it out like you
You are impressive and have a great sense of humor.
Roland you are the best. I love how you make videos like you are talking to close friends and family. Keep the videos and of course the bass a coming.
you are the coolest ive been off and on watching you since 1970 the first big bass tourny and seen you through the years and you still got it at 80 hey Im 65 and been sick the last few years but even in my 50's i dont think I could have done that and gotten back in the canoe ill watch you for as long as you want to put these vids out im your's for life i also watch your son scott!
Just imagine going fishing with this man for the day? He forgets more in a day about fishing than I will ever learn.
He used to be an algebra teacher? You da man Roland.
I can guarantee if you did that here in PNW your muscles would’ve locked up in colder waters here. Maybe would have been so cold that you’d walk on water to get back in🥶😁
Good lesson on how to carefully climb back into canoe though👍🏻😜

Stay healthy man!👍🏻
I wanna be Roland Martin when I'm 80. Your a beast!
Roland is a absolute national treasure! I grew up watching him and learned so much! ROLAND I WOUKD LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU
This is awesome! I just bought a canoe from Facebook marketplace. Now I’m looking at adding these floats like you have. That’s really impressive it didn’t tip when climbing back in.

Roland!!! Amazing video as always! Falling out of a boat at 80 years young!!!
Roland, have fun but please don't think you have to impress us with risky stunt videos. Your already a national treasure and legend. Diving in shallow water can risk neck injury.

That was very funny thanks Roland for making this!
There is nobody that can touch you Roland, you are the absolute epitome of your profession. thank you for another one and giving us folks over 60 a little bit more confidence .
Roland, I've liked you since I was a young boy, you just made me piss myself laughing! God bless you!
Algebra lesson son! It's hotter than the sun in Florida right now, don't blame you for jumping in.
That's real life lessons for us youngster to learn from. That just happen to yesterday... thanks for the video.
Awesome deal Mr. Martin. I think a bit lower is what many will say but when you have a second person in there like your camera man they are in the perfect spot. And then will keep the boat from capsizing from the weight transfer if one person goes in. Always enjoy watching your videos.
“I’m gettin back in folks, I’m gettin back in.. I got back in folks!” LOL
Love this guy
I’m quite impressed. Not only did I watch you on tv when I was a little kid, I’m watching you on CZcams as an adult and you’re still able to climb back in a boat
His garage looks about as organized as mine. Makes me feel better about it
Great sound affects and stunt work! Gave me a much needed laugh. I will strive to be as fit as you are when I'm older. Good idea on making the canoe safer when loaded down.
I haven’t sat cross legged in 20 years. You’re amazing & look 60
Still showing us how it's done at 80... U are the G.O.A.T
Roland you are the man! Live action! Son!
Shoot! I know plenty of 20 year olds who couldn't get back in a canoe like that. Pretty damn fit for 80!
wow you're 80! I was thinking 70-72. Looking great!
You are doing damn good for 80 Roland !
lol that scream when you fell in. 😂
The GOAT of tinkering!
What a great video Mr. Martin that’s a great canoe that they’ll never sink with all them bumpers on it look like you were having a great time making That video I had a great time watching it keep up the great work Mr. Martin maybe I’ll see you on the water someday

That was GREAT!!!
Funny, informative and could possibly save someone someday.
Thank you.
Be well.
The most I have laughed in quite awhile!!!! Good ol Roland. SON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man Roland is one great man, he is always giving tips even when he’s trying to fish. I honestly look up to Rolland such a great inspiration
Have to hit that like button, after all you went through for this one!
Nice work! You can get around into tight places and find the Bass. Makes me think of going stealth mode, nice and quite compared to a big bass boat??! Well done Sir, I like it!
I am 48 and I couldn’t sit cross legged like that. And if I did I would need help to get up. I am impressed by Roland. I really enjoy these videos. I hope to one day actually find a Bass Tracker Classic XL and buy it and go fishing soon.
Awesome. 80yrs but mind and body very youthful, inspiring really.
You don’t look your age at all. I thought you were 60. May God Bless you. Thank you for all your outstanding videos Sir.
Roland should post every day by 6 o'clock.
Not many men of your age would jump in the water to test their canoe. That's really tough to get in a canoe from the water. Great job Sir!
Roland man you got back in that boat like a 20yr old hahah very cool deal
Roland still rocking at 80 I hope I’m atleast half the health of that man when I’m eighty
This man never sesis to amaze me with the thing he can do.
DAMM SON!!!!!! 80!! You know Mr Roland that was bad ass!! ~~~not too many men over the age of 40 that could get back in! Your in great shape!!~~ Made my day!
This man is absolutely a fishing mad scientist.
You're still awesome Roland.
YOU SCARED THE LIVING DAY LIGHTS OUTTA ME WHEN YOU JUMPED OUT TO THE WATER POPS!! but you also got back in quite fast!!!! Very impressive for your age I think. I also think you would've climbed back in even faster if there was an Alligator nearby. Great learning Video Pops, stay safe.
i am shaking my head right now.I That is an awesome invention. Pretty good for an old math teacher.
Wow.
I'm speechless Roland.
You are amazing.
You are a true inspiration to all of us.
I can only hope I am as agile as you at 80.
Sitting there cross legged for so long.
Mind blown.
Thanks again for the masterclass!
Keep the content comin!
Cheers!
GoGo
