Robe rich or a Bass land, its just wonderful to see you fish out of your John boat or Canoe. This was a great video. You show people that you don't need to rich or in a $25,000 Boat to enjoy fishing, or to catch huge fish. I am 63 years Old and I have watched you your whole career. It is nice to know the Best Bass Fisherman who has ever lived, is still so down to earth. Thank you for sharing all your up lifting videos.
Mr. Roland, I bought my first whopper plopper because of your video last year. Now it is my favorite way to fish. My five year old loved mine so much she had to have her own haha
What a days fising Roland! I've never caught a large mouth bass in my life. But watching you fish, is like being right there with you. Thank you for sharing and spending all this time doing youtube videos. All the best, Eivind --> from Norway.
Cooped up in Alaska is making sick. My love for fishing here is drained . Rivers closed due to poor king and silver salmon returning and the pike get really good for a very short period of time, till people go out and destroy the pike. We were planning on moving to Florida only to have China destroy the dreams of many. I just love your show . My wife and kids are still dreaming of fishing for bass and saltwater fish someday. Lol I’m sick of trout fishing. Needing the dream to come true. Thank you for Keeping the dream alive God bless you and thanks Roland for all the wonderful videos. This one was awesome 😎
ROLAND, YOU OL DAWG! Catching more than one or maybe two bass that big in a season is a good summer. But you catch that many almost in a row in one afternoon is why I've been following you for 50+ years and you are a legend. SON! Again, thanks for sharing my friend.....
You catch way more big bass in south Florida where he lives. I can't imagine how many 8 pounders he's probably caught. I'm in Virginia and my PB is 8 pounds, and I caught that when I was 11 or 12 lol.
NICE ROLAND! BIGGUNS! I've been watchin your shows and following you and Scott on the tourney circuit for over 30 years at least. Thanks for sharing all your tips and techniques during that time. Topwater is my favorite way to get em, as I'm sure it is for alot of us. I've been so jealous of all you guys (UA-cam Fisherman) being able to get out and fish. Our stupid governor closed all fishing everywhere here in Washington State 2 months ago. Couldn't even go fishin by myself! Just yesterday, he announced that hunting and fishin will open back up next Tuesday May 5th. Thank God! Thank you and Scott for all your UA-cam videos and TV shows to help keep me "somewhat" sane during all this craziness!👊👍👊👍
This was my favorite video by far! I love how you keep the imperfections in your video because it gives so much credibility to the experience. Awesome fish and love your adventures
This happened to me a few times while fishing top water... what amazed me is how well these gators see the lure even when you throw away from them. Another fun video, keep them coming Roland :-)
HaHaHa! Roland consider that a compliment that you haven’t lost your...... Animal Magnetism..... 😂🤣😂 Ornery lil Gator ! HaHa! Hey I just wanted to tell ya I’m really happy to see ya here on UA-cam Mr. Roland Sir.. I always liked your show growing up.. & I’m enjoying your videos you are making even more... 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
The first thing I caught on a lunker lure was a 2 ft. Alligator, around 2 ft. I really didn't measure it. He wasn't any happier about being caught than I was about catching it. It was in a drainage ditch close to the oil rig I was working on around Baytown. That lil gator wasn't happy with me using a BIG pair of Channel locks to unhook him even tho it ruined my lunker lure! He scratched my leather glove up too. Some Cajuns on Frank's Casing Crew wanted him fore supper but I always was a catch and release kind a guy even then in 1969 after 2 tours of Nam behind me. The second lunker lure caused a backlash and when I dug the thing out and started reeling a 5 pound Bass slammed it when it was still underwater! I just thought about this when you started fishing around gators. I saw your frog video about changing the 4/0 hooks with the 3/0 and I spent 70 dollars give or take a few. I love your videos after watching you, Dance and Houston since your hair was combed and yalls teeth was shiny, mine was kinda shiny to. From one old 100% disabled Veteran to another Veteran, Thank You for Your Service Sir..
OMG Roland!! What a day of fishin son! That gator had my heart racing. I love fishing the Plopper too. Great stuff Roland, keep it comin! Thanks again , you are my Masterclass in fishing. Scotty's pretty good too.; } Cheers!
Most of my biggest bass have always been top water. my PB is still 8 pounds, on a jitterbug lol. I caught it literally on my last cast at sunset when I was 11 or 12 years old. That was such an awesome memory. I'm 35 now, and still trying to too it lol.
Glad your Happy Roland😁 we ❤️Ya,Renew my B.A.S.S subscription,can’t wait to get my buzz toad there sending along with a couple other baits,those Yamamoto heart tail grubs I cannot find anywhere eBay,basspro,or cabelas, I will check Yamamoto website
Mr Roland would put a power pole on his canoe lol. Mr Roland you should try the maraca frog if like the sprinker frog, and try a Berkley chappo in my opinion it works better than the whopper plopper the paddle on it is solid instead of the soft rubber so the whole lure doesn't spin around if your fishing it fast and it has a better sound as well.
#25👍 Put your PFD on! Btw, alligators can jump straight out of the water to a height that can nearly match their length. Never get comfortable around them as they're always hungry. Why do you think they're always finding dead people inside of them? They're not nice little water pets.
Roland great video, love your content always a learning experience. I see you often use a white bait casting reel seems to be one of your favorites was curious what kind of reel it is. Best Greg
I got a couple of good laughs out of that dumb Gator following the lure repeatedly. You would have thought after the first or second time he would have realized it wasn't real.
That 8.5 lbs Bass was great. Glad the gator didn't get him. Guess a Whopper Plopper will be my next purchase. Thanks Roland.
I enjoy watching the I just wish I was fishing , thanks for all the great videos
Roland Martin...pysching out the gator. He thought he was fast enough to get that lure, but Roland's reel was just a little bit faster. LOL.

Roland is not a Bassmaster,He's a Grand master he work his way to to the top catching large mouth.Earning the trophies.
At 10:45 I thought I saw an Alabama Rig, but it was a fleet of buzz frogs preparing for battle! Thanks for the great video!

Great video Roland, best fishing channel on UA-cam.
Wow what a great day! Another awesome video by a true legend. Thank you Roland

Wow that’s cool big bass and gators what fun!
This happened to me a few times while fishing top water... what amazed me is how well these gators see the lure even when you throw away from them. Another fun video, keep them coming Roland :-)
Hey Roland thanks for sharing that big fish top water day. Scott should watch your videos so he can see how to catch the big big ones. LOL
You rock Roland!!! That was really fun to watch and learn.
HaHaHa! Roland consider that a compliment that you haven’t lost your...... Animal Magnetism.....
😂🤣😂
Ornery lil Gator ! HaHa!
Hey I just wanted to tell ya I’m really happy to see ya here on UA-cam Mr. Roland Sir.. I always liked your show growing up.. & I’m enjoying your videos you are making even more... 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Way to tell that 🐊 gator off Roland. Probably some young punk looking to harass.😆Great video! Thanks.
Awesome bass. That alligator scene is something else . Lol. I’d love to fish where you are but I’ll pass on the gators I guess.
Roland I love your Videos thanks
That gator would've ended the day for me!!! Seeeeeee ya!!! 😂😂 You're awesome
Thank you for these great Fishing videos
Theres no excitement like catching a monster on a topwater bite!!😃
I love how excited you get when you catch em, and thanks for all the tips, Technics!
I’ve caught lots of Steelhead and Salmon, but nothing beats seeing a big bass hit a frog
7:33 smacked in the head with the lure and recover to catch that fish! Epic!
Threw right back instantly too! No moment of hesitation, doubt or anger. True fisherman!
I had to play it back 3 times to watch it again and again. Classic. And a catch after the fact.
I want to know what baitcaster he is using? It cast like a dream. Wow
Great video Roland I like top water bites
Absolutely great video! Your excitement in catching fish is contagious! Thanks for all you do!
Absolute dream to go fishing with this guy!!!

Dang nice stenchoroo on the whoppin ploppin! Badass roland!
Roland you are a fishing machine
Lol. Like playing fetch with the dog.
What a day!!! Great video as usual and always great information... Thanks Mr Martin!
BASS AND A HALF FOR SURE! AWESOME CATCH AND GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS! 7.5 SON!
Beautiful bass Roland great job.👍
"Smack him with the paddle" lol great vid Roland!
Snack him? Smack him and you go to jail, against the law here.
@@1Chiccone damnnn you got me lol.
With a gator that size, you could hit him as hard as you can and he would barely feel it.
Monster Bass on Whooper Flopper. Glad the improvement is catch and release so others can enjoy catching those Monster Bass. 👍🎣 Roland.
I can't wait to hit that place!!
Old Lady Angler you and me both It going to be crowded there!
You're a stud Roland! I love your videos and thank you for passing on your legacy!
amazing session sir. I’m watching this all the way from Dubai in this lockdown times! fishing vicariously through you 😃
8:46-8:47 the lure hit you in the head Roland!! What a bass though wow
hahaha that looks like to much fun playing with that gator lol
Nice save at 7:33! I just learned a lesson in patience and second chances.
Dang...that bass on the frog was cool😊
OMG Roland!!
What a day of fishin son!
That gator had my heart racing.
I love fishing the Plopper too.
Great stuff Roland, keep it comin!
Thanks again , you are my Masterclass in fishing.
Scotty's pretty good too.; }
Cheers!
Hey roland I think the fish are biting because they want to be in your videos!! Haha great video mr roland keep them coming!
cool deal Roland that canoe is really the deal
If you don't have a deal with Whopper Plopper you should. You put on a high lite reel with it. Impressive, you sold me on getting one.
Son !!!! Many Thanks Roland !!!!
Been there! Like you had to move, the gators are insistent on getting the lure. Happened several times, oh well, that's Florida!
Watching that gator interact with your bait was so cool! Fishin in the land of Giants!
Most of my biggest bass have always been top water. my PB is still 8 pounds, on a jitterbug lol. I caught it literally on my last cast at sunset when I was 11 or 12 years old. That was such an awesome memory. I'm 35 now, and still trying to too it lol.
"Stop molesting me! I'm not molesting you!" lol definitely more calm than I would have been. But that 7.5 lb large mouth was a beaut! Nice catch.
Glad your Happy Roland😁 we ❤️Ya,Renew my B.A.S.S subscription,can’t wait to get my buzz toad there sending along with a couple other baits,those Yamamoto heart tail grubs I cannot find anywhere eBay,basspro,or cabelas, I will check Yamamoto website
I like how far he rowed the first time. Hilarious
Great top water action Roland. I'll be at bass pro tomorrow whopper plopper .
I’m sure they smacked that gator off camera,haha! Great day Roland,SON!
Love your videos,you are a legend!
Son
Love the gator touch. LOL
Way to get it done roland good job Be safe
I thought the second giant was 10 for sure.

You got great video's that was definitely a good damn gator !! 😂🎣🎣
Awsome Roland, I love your videos
Choot em Roland!
Two more days and there will be enough lakes open for us here in Illinois and even my favorite Sangchris just S.E. of Springfield !
WHAT A BLAST!!!!!!!!!
you are the man Roland!
Mr Roland would put a power pole on his canoe lol. Mr Roland you should try the maraca frog if like the sprinker frog, and try a Berkley chappo in my opinion it works better than the whopper plopper the paddle on it is solid instead of the soft rubber so the whole lure doesn't spin around if your fishing it fast and it has a better sound as well.
Roland can catch anything even a Alligator. lol
Roland ripping lips of 7.5 8.5 lbers like it's a walk in the park, Yes for the "son" the water is his park. nice day of top water
Awsome. Mr. Martin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow what a day from a canoe
Really big, really big bass really big big bass I don't know how big he is but he's a really big bass!
tha was a great video!
7:15-7:35 was hilarious!
😵😵😵I would have crapped my pants when I saw that gator!
Hey Roland the gators love man
#25👍
Put your PFD on! Btw, alligators can jump straight out of the water to a height that can nearly match their length. Never get comfortable around them as they're always hungry. Why do you think they're always finding dead people inside of them? They're not nice little water pets.
Awesome 👊🏻
whopper plopper for the win!
Roland, I’m waiting
for your devil horse viideo!
Roland great video, love your content always a learning experience. I see you often use a white bait casting reel seems to be one of your favorites was curious what kind of reel it is.
Best
Greg
It's a Solus by Favorite
@@RolandMartinOutdoors Thank you ! been watching you since I was a kid be blessed be safe !
Oh my god, it’s giant!
I couldn't help but laught when he said "hey your molesting me I'm not molesting you" 😂😂😂 good ol roland martin
I got a couple of good laughs out of that dumb Gator following the lure repeatedly. You would have thought after the first or second time he would have realized it wasn't real.
A fish of a lifetime for some people.......Just a day at the office for Roland
Huge stenchoroos!!
Love it
That canoe was built about 30 miles away from me up here in Maine...
