Snook & Tarpon on Topwater in the Everglades

The vicious summer heat finally cooled down with a couple of overcast and even rainy days. This is a great combination for good topwater fishing the back country of the Everglades.a zara spook jr worked on one of my standard bass fishing Favorite rods and reels was a real producer of some exciting snook and tarpon strikes! I missed quite a few but had an absolute ball. My little Tracker Heritage did great

Roland, you are a National Treasure, buddy. Thank you.

That looks like some fun with top water lures. Great fishing! 🇺🇸

That was cooler than the backside of a pillow! Awesome video, a little slice of heaven

Thanks Roland. Always good to se you out fishing.

I’ll watch Roland till the day I die…. What an incredible, and genuine human being. It’s an incredibly unreasonable request, but I’d love to know where he’s fishing (precisely).

Imagine your grandpa is Roland Martin... how cool.

Why are you gaffing tarpon? Thought that was illegal...

[@tylershaffer4287]

I think its illegal to gaff them in the mouth lol i may be wrong but i dont think so

[@user-bs1vq7bk4p]

These are the worst estimates of tarpon sizes I've ever encountered. Wow.

Any concerns running a freshwater trolling motor in saltwater???

[@captainrickyfla6170]

How far did you run from outdoor resorts?
