this man is the best fisherman ever. I was raised on Roland Martin back in the 80s. he taught me how to fish when i had no one in my family to show me how. Roland is the GOAT!
Great man, great video! I caught a 8 pound bass this morning on a wopper plopper in a farmers dam here in South Africa. Roland, you have me and my son better anglers since we started watching your videos. You made me also love senkos. From one teacher to the master, COME OUT WITH YOUR FINS UP!!
Thank you Roland Martin for keeping the passion, you, Dance, Houston, Scott, Hemingway, and my Dad, I owe years and years of appreciation. God Bless you sir.
Awesome teaching video! Top water fishing is the most exciting fishing! When you catch some big ones on top you will only want to fish that way. it’s exciting!
This Never gets old watching Mr. Martin talking about fishing 🎣 Thank you very much for Educating us about Bass fishing all these years! I think it's pretty dang cool that I grew up watching "Fishing with Roland Martin " and my now 12 year old son loves to watch you and learn Great Techniques too👍 1 of my favorites to add to the list of topwaters is the Heddon Baby Torpedo!!! I love to see Largemouth and Spotted Bass come up and Nail that thing!!! I watched Mr. Bill Dance fishing buzzbaits on one of his shows years ago and he couldn't have explained the strike any better when he said it will "Scare you half to death" SET THAT HOOK!!!
Hey Roland - I just want you to know that I recently caught a 26.5 inch bass weighing well over 11 pounds on a Whopper Plopper on Headwaters Lake this past Saturday. I released it immediately for future anglers to catch. I showed the picture off to the guys at Outdoor Adventures. It was a giant. Brian Bickhaus
*Lures looks very realistic even prunked my friends with it.Looks very durable **enjoyable.fishing** recommend sunk very good into the water.Cons: Storage package could be bigger.*
It's cool that you keep us northern folks in mind when you teach. I'm from Georgian Bay, and alot of videos and books are geared to southern waters. Love the "California to Connecticut" tips. Thanks for the videos, Roland!
Is bass fishing good in Connecticut? I've heard of the big bass in California...but Connecticut? Any Connecticut anglers can clue me in? Roland seems to think there are some good fish. Me being from Texas, I've got Fork and Rayburn not too far. Tell me about the New England bass.
For what its worth, I have used most of the lures he just showed on spinning rods with great success. I use a medium heavy rod with a fast tip. I will admit that I switched to a baitcast rod and reel years ago because I like the winching ability of the reel and I wanted to challenge myself to learn how to use one but for many many years I fished exclusively with a spinning setup and top water was and is still often my go to technique. I think sometimes we see the pros using certain gear and think that its the only way to do something but it truly is not the only way. At least thats how I am sometimes. There are many good tools and techniques that will do a job successfully and finding the one that you enjoy the most and works the best for you is the fun of the experience. Hope that helps. God bless!
Buddy was begging to use my buzz bait yesterday, I’d never used it so I was interested to see it in action. The boy missed 3 different fish, including a damn redfish. Top water season is upon us, time to eat gents

No, you taught yourself how to fish watching video's of other people.

My all time favorite top water lure is a popper. Great video Roland thank you for sharing your wealth of fishing knowledge.
Thanks, Roland. Good tips, especially the frog hook set. Appreciate you doing these videos. Been watching you since I was a kid fisherman.
The Whopper Plopper 75 is my go to topwater lure.

Excellent description of what to use, where to use and how to use the different topwaters. Well done
What's best line for top water
Caught a 6.12 on my home lake with a bluegill colored frog. The average size bass 1-3 lb bass and to do that was a thrill!
I love fishing frogs, the blow ups are so satisfying.
Thanks for sharing
PIKE also love a plopper.
Great information Sir. Keep after them
You are the BEST ♥️🎣
Bookending my day with Jimmy and Roland on a rainy Sunday here in Florida
Some good information. Do we know why we wait for the ripples to stop before moving a topwater?
Nice breakdown Roland. Great video!

Great tips thank you Rolland.
Good tip on hook setting on the frog 🐸 👍👍
Good stuff Roland!
Thanks for the tips my friend! 🎣👊🏼💯🇺🇸
Great video Roland on topwater lures. Are there any topwater lures you use with a spinning rod? 🎣🐟

Thanks for the great tips.
I put weedless treble hooks on my whopper plopper to be able to fish closer to the grass. waiting for the time to get right here
like your tips come in handy her in New Jersey thanks alot
At 5:49 he explains how the whopper plopper sounds. It's going plopop plopop...lol
I just commented the same lol. 5:40 I couldn't stop laughing
Buddy was begging to use my buzz bait yesterday, I’d never used it so I was interested to see it in action. The boy missed 3 different fish, including a damn redfish. Top water season is upon us, time to eat gents
Plopper 90 for me!
Great talking to you today.
Hey Roland I Would Love To See A Musky Or Wolf Fish Episode.
I’m going to try some Zara spooks and whopper loopers this year. Good information.
I caught a 6lb 10oz smallmouth here in Oregon on a zara spook last year. The clear one with the rattle
I fish all of them and wake baits
I'm too clumsy , I would have kicked several of them rods out in the lake laying there like that
Lol don't feel bad , I've slammed car doors on rods , trunk lids and tail gates .
Love frog bite!
Frogs dont bite
Whopper Ploppers are money, they catch tanks!
Will the 4 people that give this video a thumbs down, please post and let us know who you are, and why you gave a thumbs down....
thanks son, love topwater
I still fish with the old lunker lure
whopper plopper time son!!
5:40 lol
Hello Roland!
The people that occupy the building in the background are most likely responsible for there being few bass in the canal behind Roland's house.
oops that"s here
Bass are such a stupid fish, they would literally strike at practically anything thrown at them. Stupid fish for stupid people.
I haven’t done a whopper plopped yet, but in the PNW frogs work great
