Rod/reel combo with fishing kit as an emergency setup ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxntWMOZsO1Zfv-pdn_XuffEtNkTYAYu4Z recommend but started to use this every day. The rod is thick and seems durable. I keep it neatly tucked into a regular backpack all the time with my fishing gear, and can grab it anytime, put it on my back and go anywhere. I just read in another review that the rod length below the reel is adjustable as well, so I will try that too for even more portability. Probably the best setup I've ever owned. I lost the cap for the eyelets, but no big deal since I still have the black cloth sheath that came for the pole and I use that. Very portable and high quality.
I used to watch Roland Martin on ESPN Outdoors years ago. Just about every time a catch a fish now, I say SON!!! Thanks for posting, just clicked subscribed.
He'd always say " Oh son, monster black bass" Lol. I only wish he would cover his arms and his face from the sun. I know he wants to be recognized in the video but the skin cancer is always a concern. Great video though 😎
Watching Roland when I was a kid & now I’m in my 40’s, I still really enjoy his commentary and enthusiasm for fishing. So much to learn from Roland 👍🏻🙏🏻
Been watching you for 41yrs now! Started with my dad and finishing it with my kiddos! Thx for the many years of enjoyment and all I’ve learnt watching you and Dance on the water! #TightLines
Charles Robertson Agreed man these new you tubers don’t have the experience or the passion for the sport as the old guys did and still do like Roland here.
@@taylormarcel5074 though I think they shouldn't have such crazy videos, saying that they don't have the same passion is ignorant and messed up. As for not having the same experience, well no shit Sherlock, they're young people, not their fault they were born after these old dudes.
Nothing better than watching Roland and Jimmy play off each other. My 2 favorite fishing pro's. My "dad" was essentially worthless so I learned about fishing from these guys and I'm eternally grateful ! My sons finally figured out that fishing is fun and cool, so now I can pass what I know to them. I'm diggin' it ! Thx Roland !
Man I've been watching you fish since i was like 8. I'm now 36, and your still my favorite fisherman Roland. I've learned lot's from watching you! Thanks for all the years of entertainment, and knowledge. I'm a pretty good Bass fisherman thanks to your show, and watching you!
What is most impressive to me is Rolands Casts . Every single one is precision .. not one single one lands in the weeds or Cattails .. he gets real close to shore but never ever misses . Very impressive .. many decades of experience obviously.
Roland is always a step ahead of us. I was initially confused by rolands statement but do you know how us clever humans determine if a gator is male or female?
I grew up watching you on Saturday morning and I found Scott and now your channels. Thank you for all the years of education and fun! And thanks for giving us Scott too lol! He is a hoot! Cheers from KS!
Roland!! Sir you Bill Dance,and Bob White were fishing gods when I was growing up..its so good to see you doing what you do best!! Thank you for the years of info and envy!
Great video, Roland. I just got my first Whopper Plopper 75. Gotta see for myself what all the hype is about. Love your channel and your resort in Clewiston. I'm originally from Hollywood, FL and live in Sanford now. Been a fan of yours for 30+ years. Keep making great videos. I'll keep watching them. Ted Marshall Sanford, FL
I love the look away and reaction after the strike, great bend in the rod!! I have always loved watching you, Bill, and Jimmy....I have learned so much from all of you throughout my life!!!
Thank u for all the years of knolege you have past on to me n all my family and love ones. Keep them vids comeing. God bless you n menymore years of great advice.
I have watched you for years, way easier now with social media, but I love how excited you still get, that’s why I love fishing, I go every chance I can. I also love watching the 3 legends working together. Roland you have one more subscriber can’t wait to see what’s next.
I used to watch him in the 80s when I was a teen. Thank you, sir, for the joy, passion and knowledge you shared with so many. It is certainly appreciated.
Been reading his stuff since the 70’s. Great to see he still has that joy in catching fish like I remember from all those decades ago. “Ooh son, come out with your fins up.” That was classic Roland Martin.
You have always been one of the most informative, instructional and interesting fisherman to watch. A real joy. Glad you are on UA-cam. Would be cool to fish with you sometime... Keep it up Roland!!
Mr. Martin, I must say that your influence on me back in the early 80’s has had a lasting affect. You encouraged myself and a friend to start bass fishing the canals and ponds west of town in northern Palm Beach County. At that time, I’d be hard pressed to tell a bass from a bluegill, but I learned fast. Using the barest of equipment and lures, simple plastic worms typically, we eventually made our way out to Lake O, where the big bass play. After watching this video, we certainly learned how big gators can change ones perspective of the hole you’re fishing, especially when the gator seems, or most likely is, bigger than your 10’ aluminum John Boat, though I’ve come to understand their behaviors much more since then. My friend Dennis soon became a business owner and his time is dedicated as such to this day, so unfortunately he has little time for what we enjoyed so carefree in our youth. As for myself, and my time is also somewhat limited, I have since taken my fishing explorations, though somewhat limited, into the saltwater realm as well. Offshore, near shore, inshore and fresh water are all fair game. My favorite target species of the salt water variety however, is Snook. And I will attribute that to you. The extreme similarities when casting for the smaller Snook in the mangroves and that of fishing for bass has brought me full circle. I sincerely thank you for that. I am so happy that I found your UA-cam channel. Thank you Mr. Martin, Bobby
I am so glad that you, Jimmy, Bill and Scott have UA-cam channels. I don't watch T.V and now I get to see all you guys again. One thing UA-cam allows you guys to do is be real, and I love that.
Great videos Mr Martin, been a fan for a long time. Just told my 14 year old son to subscribe and learn from a great teacher. Keep the instructional videos coming!!!
Grew up in the 90's watching this guy on TV, his show was on right when I got home from school so I'd watch it almost everyday. Great to see he's still going strong, now I'm a fan because he has entertained and taught me so much throughout my life. Whatever you do, do not give the gators any fish because then they will NEVER leave you alone lol. Made that mistake first time I fishes down south, gators chased me all over the lake. Imagine how cool it would be to have a dad like Roland Martin? Much love and respect from Southern Illinois!
Ive been wstching your stuff for 30 yrs.the whopper plopper is a big fish bait. I bought some of them.i can do the same thing with my very old crazy crawler or my nlack 5 8ths ounce jitterbug but dont want to lose them. Its the best lure to come out in a while. You never let us down roland
Roland, I still love the Jim Strader's Diamond Eye you endorsed about 40 years ago. I have fished the whopper plopper but haven't gotten a fish yet. I actually found both of mine hung up in grass on the bank. People forget about the prop baits.I encourage more people to try prop-type topwater baits. My friend and I fished two days in a row in the 80's while on fall break and his Dad took us out on the third day and caught a 5-3/4 lb largemouth within his first two casts on first brush pile on a point on that Diamond Eye and razzed us all day about fishing two days and not getting a single fish and he got one in first 5 mins on water. Thanks for the video & God Bless You
Roland: I caught my PB using a Whopper Plopper on a Florida pond. 22" and estimated at 6.5 #s. Since I'm from WI that fish was amazing. Caught many others as well. Love the bait, love your videos. Thank you so much for taking us along. Keep your videos coming. We are blessed by your kindness!
Omg, Mr Martin, thank you so much for your UA-cam channel, I grew up watching your TV shows, I just subscribed and cannot wait to tell everyone about your channel. Please please keep the videos coming.
My Father told me when I was a kid, that most fishing lures were designed to caught the fisherman, more than the fish. That was more than fifty years ago. The Arbogast Jitter Bug, and the Heddon Crazy Crawler, will do the same thing. It is a top water gurgle bait in a new wrapper. But hey, I am going to buy me one too, because you can not have enough lures.
Oh wow im glad you mentioned the Heddon crazy crawler, I recently just bought an old tacklebox at an estate sale filled with weird looking vintage lures and couldnt figure out what they were. After googling the crazy crawler it turns out thats what some of them are! Theres all sorts of cool stuff in it from the 60s/70s including an old firstaid kit
I love topwater plugs... I own multiple Heddon torpedoes (even the magnum), multiple jitterbugs, spooks, hula poppers, savage gear ducks, and multiple rat lures. The Whopper Plopper is far superior to all. The topwater rats are the only exception. If it's late spring/summer time and I need a quick bite. I'm pulling out a Whopper Plopper 110/130 in the bone color.
@@dcarroll4294 The Whopper Plopper has always treated me well. I think my favorite though is a little balsa wood Heddon torpedo I found in a tree at an old power plant by the lake, Ive climbed into the water many times to retrieve that thing from snags LOL. Doesnt have much original paint left but it still does the job.
I've enjoyed your show since I was just a kid. Glad to see you still in action! I picked up a couple Whopper Ploppers for an upcoming trip to Alaska. I'm hoping Pike will like them as well.
I've caught a few gars and catfish on mine. They tore up my hooks though. I just replace the hooks and it's as good as new. I've caught about 250 bass every year for the past few years on mine.
Grew up watching you with my Pops just like a lot of people here did and I love seeing you get into UA-cam and posting these awesome videos! Keep it up Sir!
Rolands been a real hero of mine since I was a kid. What a phenomenal fisherman and perhaps an even better teacher. If you apply 25% of his techniques to your fishing game you will see a major improvement!
I live in mtg Alabama my whole life.. in 1971 or 72 when Bass was just getting going there you and john powell tom mann came to Ray Scotts bass pro shop there and I was 9 years old.. you gave me a 6 pack of purple with white dots Creme worms.. ill never forget that.. i turn 61 on july 30 this year.. Thank you for that great memory..
I happened on to you channel cant believe your still pluggin , glad to see you are, best tip i ever got from you years ago was haven a second rod ready on small mouth schools to throw in the bait before landing the first at the boat for following fish caught me many fish Thank you Roland Martian
I too iam Baltimore too a course in ecology studied the eco system of the Chesapeake Bay learned a lot about how fish responds to different things with you for years good stiff thank you!!!!!!!!!!
And he has been doing his job for 50 plus years he is retired! ACT LIKE IT. RELAX A BIT. IT'S A LOT OF WORK DRAGGING YOUR BOAT FILMING EDITING AND POSTING. READING THE REPLYS AND THEN EATING DINNER. BUT LIKE YOU SAID IT'S HIS JOB. YOU ARE WRITE.
I’m sure he has people to help with or take care of a lot of the details and video editing. I’m sure he’s gonna go fishing regardless he just brings someone else along to film
Not often does he have help! If you look on many video he is reaching to adjust the camera himself. Scott helps with the editing when he is around. he travels a hole lot.
You mean you learned a lot 'thu "his videos not thru or through the reason I point this out is right before I watched this video I watched a Jimmy houstan video with his wife from the 80s and he got annoyed when she crossed his line before he even landed a fish he caught in the same spot I'm still laughing because he complained 'i got a fish out of that spot and you casted over there before I got thu (Thu with no r not thru with a r)since Jimmy is one of the 3 legends with Roland and they all let their kuntry slang hang out you learned a lot Thu rolands vids not thru
Great video Mr. Martin; so glad an honored to receive your information. Thank you! You are certainly always cool and calm with those alligators, I would have trouble reaching into the water to land a bass after being stalked by a gator..and fishing from my belly boat (inner-tube) would be totally out of the question!😂 Not a problem here in central Texas but some in other areas and the coast. Thanks again. Fish On!🎣
Hey, Roland! Never used the 75 Whopper Plopper. Just started using the 90 in I know it color. My buddy used the T 1000 color. Fished in the rain tearing them Bass up for over 4 hrs. Topwater is AWESOME. The Whopper Plopper is a great bait were the Senko was and still is number one. Shawn
A big Thanks to Roland,Imet him 35 years ago or so at a tournament on Lake Mead(my home lake)and he told me know the water temp and adjust accordingly.I have caught fish ever since.Love you Mr. MAARTIN.
Roland Roland... l caught my PB this year on a WP. I pretty much never solid retrieve a WP. I retrieve then stop and may work it like a devils horse or popper. Blessings to you
My dad used to watch you on TV when he was a teenager, now I'm a teenager and I'm watching you on UA-cam, that's so cool.
Fisherman Seth same dude 😂
This old rack
Old Roland Martin...he used to appear on ESPN late at night , used to stay up late just to watch him
Ok zoomer
Furyfromthesky ! Zoomer boomer
He has caught thousands of bass all over the world and still gets excited like a kid when he catches one. Amazing!
Best part is hearing you say "staphococcus" six times in a row. Great content too! I wish I can become a veteran fisherman like you when I'm older!

And he gets right to fishing which is nice.

Great stories from a great fisherman. I watched you on Saturdays when I was growing up! Thanks for the entertainment!
Started fishing a few days ago I can't stop and watching your videos I've learned a lot, it's like getting in a BASS Mind.
"I'm not trying to molest him!" ROFLMAO
I read your comment right before I seen the gator 😂😂 😂
I fucking lost it 😂
Roland is always a step ahead of us. I was initially confused by rolands statement but do you know how us clever humans determine if a gator is male or female?
Yeah that one liner was a lil edgy, but I LMAO. I know he meant well.
@@samuelneal4841 Guys, the reason he said it that way is because the Fla Dept of Fish and game charges you that way if you are screwing with a gator..
I grew up watching you on Saturday morning and I found Scott and now your channels. Thank you for all the years of education and fun! And thanks for giving us Scott too lol! He is a hoot! Cheers from KS!
Sir, I grew up watching you fish for fun, TV, and Tournaments. You have my subscription. Thank you Roland.

I remember watching him as a kid, true legendary fisherman in my book!
I love the look away and reaction after the strike, great bend in the rod!! I have always loved watching you, Bill, and Jimmy....I have learned so much from all of you throughout my life!!!
This is someone who truly loves and enjoys fishing, somehow makes me love it more too

I swear Mr. Roland, it's just as much fun watching you NOT catch fish as it is to watch you catch trophy bass! You're one of a kind!
I used to watch him in the 80s when I was a teen. Thank you, sir, for the joy, passion and knowledge you shared with so many. It is certainly appreciated.
Still so jacked about fishing after all these years. God bless this guy - true legend.

It's awesome that he seems as excited now as he was at 15 to be out there landing bass. Fun to watch.
I love watching your UA-cam videos you do a really good job explaining things and showing everybody what really works
I just LOVE when see says COME ON SON. LOL . He is very good fisherman .
All time favorite fisherman. Grew up watching your show. Enjoying your channel

I am so happy that I found your UA-cam channel.
Thank you Mr. Martin,

Roland, Thanks for all the advice over the last 30 years, just retired to my old Bass Tracker 165 Pro Team and Kerr Lake va👍🏼

I don't know why, but I have this sudden urge to buy Whopper Ploppers.
Reel them as slow as possible, to where they make a sound they make. You'll catch big fish.
They are bad ass real deal spontaneous hits worth the money
LOL! Me too!~
They’re expensive
Tx Bassassasin order off amazon get like three for the price of one

I have been a fan of yours for many years. I just found this channel. Thank you.
Thank you sir, love the channel, learning something everytime I watch. I caught my biggest bass to date on one other 75s.
My Dad and I were on a dock and my Dad yanked a nice bass over a gator, as the gator jumped to get it. One of the most amazing things i've ever seen.
I'm so happy I found your channel I used to watch you every weekend d with my dad on TNN this is so nostalgic
Two things I’ll never get tired of. Fishing and watching my fishing hero’s fish.
when i was a kid, you were my hero. glad to see you are doing well
I miss your TV show you have so much information on how to fish and what lures to use ,glad to see you back on You Tube
Just bought my first Wopper Plopper 90. Its Feb 16th now. Can't wait to try it out! Come on Spring! SHAWN
I too iam Baltimore too a course in ecology studied the eco system of the Chesapeake Bay learned a lot about how fish responds to different things with you for years good stiff thank you!!!!!!!!!!
It's great to learn from a true Master! Thank you for your wealth of knowledge and your channel.
Always learn something new when watching!
I love the whopper plopper... i have caught some on bass pros plopper also ...
Thanks Roland!!! Kind of funny, I have been day dreaming about the whopper plopper all day.
I don't know how you find the time to do two videos a week but i am glad you do.
it's his job to fish. lol The rest of us have other jobs.
And he has been doing his job for 50 plus years he is retired! ACT LIKE IT. RELAX A BIT. IT'S A LOT OF WORK DRAGGING YOUR BOAT FILMING EDITING AND POSTING. READING THE REPLYS AND THEN EATING DINNER. BUT LIKE YOU SAID IT'S HIS JOB. YOU ARE WRITE.
I’m sure he has people to help with or take care of a lot of the details and video editing. I’m sure he’s gonna go fishing regardless he just brings someone else along to film
Not often does he have help! If you look on many video he is reaching to adjust the camera himself. Scott helps with the editing when he is around. he travels a hole lot.
I guess I shouldn't complain when a Pike snaps off my lure! At least I don't have to deal with gators!
Gators are not that bad unless your in the water with them lol..........
@Frank C Hooked a five footer on the bottom with a piece of shrimp crazy....
Yea they're annoying I snagged an 8 foot gator in a small pond he was not happy
Ikr
I wouldn’t like to be in my kayaks with em! But I’m sure it’s not as unsafe as I would feel! 😂😂😂✌️
Thank you Mr. Martin.
Fan from waaaay back.
I admire both you and Scott.
Thanks so much.

Man i live in Ga i grow up seeing you and bill yall are the best

Great to see you still at it. Been following you since I was a kid.
I've learned so much from Mr. Martin thru his videos and book.
You mean you learned a lot 'thu "his videos not thru or through the reason I point this out is right before I watched this video I watched a Jimmy houstan video with his wife from the 80s and he got annoyed when she crossed his line before he even landed a fish he caught in the same spot I'm still laughing because he complained 'i got a fish out of that spot and you casted over there before I got thu (Thu with no r not thru with a r)since Jimmy is one of the 3 legends with Roland and they all let their kuntry slang hang out you learned a lot Thu rolands vids not thru
Your the best keep up the good work I have learned so much watching your videos thanks
Excellent video as always 😁👍 love watching bass blow up on top water.
Great video Mr. Martin; so glad an honored to receive your information. Thank you! You are certainly always cool and calm with those alligators, I would have trouble reaching into the water to land a bass after being stalked by a gator..and fishing from my belly boat (inner-tube) would be totally out of the question!😂 Not a problem here in central Texas but some in other areas and the coast. Thanks again. Fish On!🎣
love the channel Roland u are a legend!
This gentleman looks like really enjoy fishing!! I love to watch him fishing :)
Hey, Roland! Never used the 75 Whopper Plopper. Just started using the 90 in I know it color. My buddy used the T 1000 color. Fished in the rain tearing them Bass up for over 4 hrs. Topwater is AWESOME. The Whopper Plopper is a great bait were the Senko was and still is number one. Shawn
My new favorite UA-cam channel. Very informative sir!
A big Thanks to Roland,Imet him 35 years ago or so at a tournament on Lake Mead(my home lake)and he told me know the water temp and adjust accordingly.I have caught fish ever since.Love you Mr. MAARTIN.
Wow I had no idea you had a youtube page! Loved watching you when I was younger!
Great topwater action. Thanks as always!
Original Bass angler and personality Roland Martin. My favorites to watch along with Bill Dance. Great video on the WP!
I'm planning on a trip to a BPS tomorrow and I'm putting the 75 on my shopping list. Thanks for the video!
