    It’s the family vibe for me. From your pops down to your own children. That’s what I appreciate about fishing from my grandparents to my lil nieces and nephews it just great to be around people and have a good time. Or when going alone it’s just peaceful

    One of the hallmarks of great character is the ability to find humor in extremely disappointing circumstances. Your sincerity, candor, insights, clarity and humor are evident in your videos. So what if you say “Big ‘un” on most fish. Some of them are Big ‘uns and enthusiasm is contagious! Fish long and hard and I truly hope you make the Classic. I also hope to get to Florida for a guided trip with you before I 🐸 croak. Maybe 2022 will be the year. Best wishes to a very happy man.

    To Mr. Scott Martin and the whole SMC crew,
    I have watched every tournament video you have posted since 2017 and I haven’t been a true social media supporter by clicking the like button. I just wanted to apologize and I want you to know that I’m a thumbs up from here on out.
    That St. Lawrence derby was a tough one for me to watch play out knowing the whole back story of what your goals are and resonated with me. I felt the struggle. I have felt that struggle as well on a smaller scale. You said it perfectly about fishing for the cutline and the pitfalls that come with that strategy. I know next year regardless on if you get into the classic this year or not, your going to drop bombs next season and I’m pumped about it.
    SMC nation believes in you Scott!

    Great followup video! Thank you for taking us with you on every tournament this past season. I can assure you Scott many of us felt all the ups and downs right along with you. I have one observation I made as you headed into I believe the Lake Champlain tournament. There were issues with your tournament house being sold and you had to spend a night in a hotel with your team. When you arrived at the hotel and we’re standing in your boat looking at all the luggage and stuff thrown into the back of your truck there was a really stressful and frustrated look on your face! It just felt like something was out of sequence for you and it seemed to follow you throughout the tournament. It was great watching this video and your breakdown of tournament. Please know we’ll be praying very hard for you as you sit in this bubble position! We’ll also be praying for your upcoming season. You’re a proven champion and as we approach the new season and the “Journey” continues we’ll be supporting and praying for you everyday. 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻❤️🎣🐟😎🇺🇸

  • @nawinchester
    @nawinchester 3 роки тому

    Scott, totally agree that you didn't lose fish because of the trokar hooks. I chase smallmouth in the northeast almost exclusively and I use trokar as my hooks of choice. Honestly I can't recall the last time I lost a fish on a Ned or a drop shot. If I get a headshake on a hook set they're typically in the boat. I know you said you had the wrong rod in terms of power and action, but do you think it's worth assessing whether or not the rod line you're fishing maybe part of the problem?? You had a rough string of lost fish you're last two events, many of those fish would have put you over the top. Without question, you're the pro and I'm not, but it's worth asking the question whether or not the line of rods you're using maybe contributing to some of your lost fish.

I’m just saying that Scott’s from Florida and what you see a lot of in Florida freshwater fishing is a lot of heavier action rods- because of the thick grass.

    Next year it's not a factor because your starting almost 100 miles closer which means that for the whole field also. If you have never seen it you would be doing a favor ahead of time so next year we will be listening to you explain how you won the event hopefully!!!
