I was piching in a private dam here in South Africa yesterday and caught a 8 pound bass right next to reeds. Your advice is SPOT ON. Thanks Roland. Your are a legend!!

"The fish are usually on the edge....." Wham! 60' in the reeds.

You are spot on about keeping the small bass, and release the big bass. Some of those small bass are 5-10 years old and will never get big, and they compete for food with the new spawn bass, keeping the young ones from getting big.

*_❤Big Roland 😂,_* *_I Love how the "Bass Hit"🎣 when he was Making a Point in the Grass._*

I can watch Rolando expalin fishing techniques all day! Thanx for sharing your knowledge sir

Thank you Ronald, just started bass fishing 3 months ago n you has been a great teacher, thanks again Sir!!! 👍👍👍

Roland, Thanks for explaining and demonstrating pitching and flipping. Everyone always talks about it but I never really knew the technique and reasons behind it. Thanks to your guidance, I recently bought a new Favorite rod (my first) a high speed reel and spooled with 65# braid. It was bought for the sole purpose of frog fishing but now I know something else I can use it for.

LOL... "You don't wanna flip it that far, oh, I got one" haha. I'm gonna try that again.

😂 “I’ll could cast it out 40ft, but they’re all closer on the--WHAM!” Only with Roland Martin. He’s so darned genuine. I got to get some one-on-one FaceTime when working at a BPS in Orlando, and he’s exactly like what you see here. Just a beautiful human being.

I always pitch WAY back in the reeds cause I always figured I will fish where no one else will. Now I am screwed Roland let out my secret 😉

Roland, you catch more fish accidentally then I do most days trying hard. Great video.

Hey Roland, I remember years ago you showing spider wire rod and reel combos and the spider wire braided line .. You showed the magic marker tip of slicing the marker tip with a knife and marking the line 1 or 2 inches and skipping up the line another 1 or so and making another mark .. It sounded like overkill at the time but since you said it I tried it and have camouflaged my braid like you showed every since and always will the light and dark contrast really helps break up and make the line harder to see .. I still have the spider wire spinning rod n reel combo and the casting rod and between my son and me fishing those same setups over the years many fish have been caught .. I don't fish them much anymore and think I'm going to just hang on to them because after all the abuse they still do the job they were built to do. I have appreciated your advice and opinions every since and am so glad to see you are still just as excited and enthusiastic about bass fishing after all this time. Much respect for the time and energy you have put in to bass fishing and the great influence you have had on who knows how many people. I wonder how many people like myself are fishing today who wouldn't be anywhere close to decent fishermen if you had kept quiet and not chose to share your passion with us .. I will always stop and listen to hear what you are saying on tackle and all things fishing related. Thanks man and keep up the great work...

Awesome always enjoy your videos, Thanks Roland

Didn't realize that you should keep moving when flipping/pitching heavy cover. Great tip, thanks Roland.

Just watched your video again. I must say that the more i fish, the luckier i get. The right rod, line, reel and lure brings luck...

Roland , I have been watching you for years . Always enjoy watching you fish and i always learn something new with each video . You need to come to North Carolina and fish some of our lakes , we have some big bass also . Keep on fishing , catching big bass and teaching us amateurs how to catch big fish . Hope to see you in the next video .

you wanna learn how to be the best fisherman you can be than you need to listen to this man as much as you can .....! thanks roland love everything you do .

Love your Fishing videos Sir! ❤ Thank you really for sharing your fishing experiences with us! Really helpful

Man Roland you are the best been the watching you forever learned so much from you Thanks

...AND WE LOVE YOU DOING THE VIDEOS SIR... THANK YOU.

The more of your videos of yours I watch the more respect I have for you.

I love fishing in Minnesota, such a beautiful state. Last time I was there was 2011 up on Lake Vermilion for a week. My sister's and I with the spouses had a great time. Now the last time using a jig here in Florida I caught a soft shell turtle and what a time I had bringing it in...Lol!

Another Great teaching video ... Love how you watch for patterns .. That's what sets you apart from the rest. Finding the pattern is the secret to finding the fish ... Great video . Keep'em coming !!! See you next time ...

I really that you always teach the BASICS Roland, thank you for another great video 👊👊👍

Roland, thank you for the how to. I went out with my buddy today, pitching and cranking. We were both throwing crankbait and jigs at the same time. He caught four and I got skunked haha. Oh well, such is life I guess

This is an excellent workshop for flipping and pitching techniques. And yes, releasing large fish promotes more large fish in a population because they will pass on their genes to their offspring and grand offspring. Good conservation message, Roland! Thanks.

Bass: “Hey, it’s Roland! Go say hello!”

Gracias por todo Roland , exelente video

Love the videos Mr Roland thanks always for the tips .

Another great video Mr. Martin, thank you! I will certainly promote you and you channel with everyone I know, we don't need all this great info going anywhere!

Love the coloring on those upper-midwest bass.

Absolutely this best how to I have seen. Thank you!!!

Thanks for the tips and great video as always keep on catching the big ones

The greatest Bass Slayer of all time son,👽🤧

Thanks for all these videos and the “what’s up Rolland. I’m new and love all this content. Your style of teaching is great, I bet you were a great teacher in school, because you’re great here

Dont worry about the #'s, it'll come, keep at it...great videos👍

What are true respectful angler, always love listening to your expertise & presentation ..respect from SanDiego 🎣🏖🛫🛥

6:30 is a great metaphor for how life works in general

It was awesome that you caught the bass by accident haha

US line use to make a black dacron line . That's all we used on our bait casters back in the 60 s !

Well done Roland. Excellent video! I always learn something from you!!!!!!!

I love these! Never stop, please!

very awesome Roland.

Roland you’re awesome keep it up love what you do.

Great Video. Roland even catches them when he's not trying to.

Great how to video. Love these.Thanks Roland

Nice Video! Thank you Captain Carpman

Most helpful video I’ve seen in awhile!

Love the channel . I live in fl. Also and was overwhelmed when fl changed it to keeping five with one over 15 inches . Also the smaller ones taste alot better anyway. So here's to ya from palm bay fl 🤪🤪

Great video Roland!!!!!

Thank you sir enjoyed the video.

Thanks for your tips Roland. They really work for me when the fishing gets tough.🎣👊

You caught some nice fish. Thanks for the tips.

6:35 what a great way to look at it.

Lyn makes black braid !!

I can pitch 40 feet. Wham!! A fish!!! It would've broke me off. Thanks and God Bless.

Awesome video Roland! Great tutorial!!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and admitting that big fish was luck. A lot of fishermen would say it was skill

Roland great video theres nothing like a jig bite it would half to be my pet lure god bless keep the videos coming

Thanks for that bit of info Sir, that's just what I wrote to you about previously

Why does he make it look so easy I’m going nuts trying to figure out my bait caster

Man wish I had your knowledge. Been watching you for 30 yrs.

Nice video, appreciate all you do, keep it up!

Thanks for all the valuable information going to try it out tonight night fishing

Thanks Mr. Roland Martin!!👍

More exciting than the Bill D videos

Thanks Roland!!!

The fish weren't on the edges of the weeds, but up in the heavy cover. Roland knew where they probably were to begin with. In some partially shaded areas. Nice Video Roland.

Thanks teach

Great video Roland and good luck..

Thanks Roland. I never really knew the difference between pitching and flipping. I only use spinning reels, and have all my life since 12 years old when I started with and garcia rod and a mitchell reel. I am 66 years old now. I assume I can sort of do these with a spinning reel. I pretty much fish from a kayak exclusively, so I am at water level. Maybe you could develop a black braid line.

Hi Roland! What was really helpful was showing us exactly where you threw the bait and why. How do you locate the spots most likely to produce good bass. How do you scope out a new lake? Or even one you may think you know.

Only Roland catches a nice bass by accident! "Hey, folks, you don't want to do this because...damn, I got a fish on."

😁 Don't pitch in the middle of all the weeds ha...you caught one! LOL!!

Thank you Roland

Nice ones! 👍🏼

I watch the pros on TV regularly and they seem not to pitch and flip as much as they used to. Instead they do this little cast where the top of the forearm is faced toward the target, the wrist is also bent away from the target, and the tip of the rod starts out close to the water.

Roland I’m in Southern California and I never seen anyone keep large mouth bass to eat!

Let's go it's a nother video by the man himself!!!

THANK YOU SIR

thank you Roland....

Mr Roland there is a line company called LYN and they make black braid

Power Fisherman x 2 Okeechobee x 1 Big Ol Bass x 8 1 shot for each, all those Big Ol Bass near got me plastered.

God Bless Mr.Roland, my bass in the south Florida canals have gone away. is the fall finally hitting Florida..Lol.. i still feel it hot as normal.. need some help from the pro

Kastking does

Ugg Button? Looks like a Luna Sea Cush It

Sir, I'm a crazy hardworking fisherman and a sponge for information and I've tried all the tips and still go days without catching a fish or getting a bite. Was wondering if maybe I should maybe focus on one or two types of baits and learn them really well. I have good casting skills and work a jig and spinnerbait pretty well. I also focus on shallow water the lakes here are shallow, weedy , and muddy. Your thoughts. Thanks for your time.

I think you need to take on Trash Talking James:)

What is your best jig and the trailer you like the best

I'm surprised he took his boat way up there from South Florida to Northern Minnesota that's a long drive.

Thought you were born in Maryland, Roland.

Can I use a light punch rig in the Reed with 20 or 25 lb fluro

Cool video! Question, where can I get those butt caps You use on your heavy flipping sticks??

How do you set the reel with bread to be able to pitch Roland

Would the marker scent throw them off? I suppose not if your doing it, but that was my first thought.

Beautiful fish there

Sir, you mentioned in your last video on flipping about maybe needing to move to the other side of the lake to catch fish. I heard several other pros say the same thing. Would you mind explaining what this means?

Hi Mr. Martin, I'm from up North, Lefaivre, Ontario. When you pitch or flip, what kind reel do you use? Brand name and ratio? Thank you Armand

Mr. Martin, do you Texas rig the trailer on the jig, for the heavy cover situations?

For some reason I expected comedy!....Nice Fishing tips, thanks..
