Just as awesome now as watching Roland was 30 years ago when I was a kid.

He's the great American fisherman, he'll fish anywhere. Anywhere there's water you'll bet hell be there. He's just like a gypsy mighty hard to find. Great American fisherman got fishing on his mind :) at least what I remember. You the man. Forever legend. :)

I've watched your videos for about 30 years, that was a big ol happy man with that big ol trophy 🏆bass, keep it up!!

One of my best fishing memories (and I have a lot) is shiner fishing on Lake Ockeechobee. My brother-in-law law and I left Roland Martin’s marina with Kevin Long for an amazing day. Dan and I both had PBs. His was 6 1/2#s. Mine was 5 1/2#s. Bigger then most fish at home. The final blessing was a double using our last 2 shiners. What a way to end the day. Thanks Roland for helping me relive that awesome day! God Bless!

Love your.videos. I am 66 year old Floridian. Used to grow sweet corn I'm Belle Glade and spent my free time fishing the big lake. I grew up on the St John's river Sanford. I met you at wingate's lunker lodge. I now grow tomatoes in Faceville Georgia. Keep up the good work i appreciate the videos I have lot good memories fishing around Florida. I still fish lake Seminole and some in gulf out of Panacea and Apalachicola.. keep your line tight old man I have been a fan a long time.

Ronald Martin is the Bob Ross of fishing. Change my mind.

Roland! I’ve never seen you shiner fish before! Way to change it up and look at that pig you caught. Good segment of fishing. Thanks for the info on your live well. Never heard of rock salt being effective. Good info. I love it when you get excited and the words, “son, that’s what I’m talking about”! Come out. Keep it up. I like this calmer style of fishing. We all like to hear you talk my man! God bless

These videos have played a large role in our decision to move to Florida

Mr. Martin I watch a lot of KZfaq videos, but you have definitely become my favorite. I get excited every time I see a video posted. God bless buddy!

Love your enthusiasm Roland! You are the GOAT for sure

Thanks Roland. Learned much from this video.

Thanks for another great day on the water...in January!! You’re the bass wizard, Roland!! Enjoy each day!!!

Good video Mr Martin. Take care of your bait and your bait will take care of you. Looking forward to big fish. It’s almost time

Nice bass Roland. Yeah, guys who refuse to use wild golden shiners from late November through April here in Florida, are simply cheating themselves out of the total trophy and double digit bass they would catch in a lifetime, pure & simple. Very seldom do I go shiner fishing here during good fishing conditions between those months where I "fail" to catch 1 or several in the 7 lb range at least. And quite often bass of 8 to 10+. Multiple double digit fish in a single day is fairly common with some local knowledge and a little luck. December of 2018, I took a 9.5 on a shiner, then only 15 minutes later in the same area, I got another weighing 8.5 on a grass jig. Talk about the best of both worlds. I love tossing lures of all types while shiner fishing at the same time. Getting double struck on 2 separate shiner rigs PLUS another on a lure all at the same time is common too.......I did it just last month. Talk about having your hands full, lol.

I have faithfully watched for 2+ years and I still learn something new from you every video. You are a treasure and I am so happy you are recovering so well.

Roland, Would love a video on the knot used for the balloon. Maybe just a “What’s happening” but I noticed it slips. I know I’ve used the knot but can’t remember the name. Just and idea. Thank you for being on KZfaq! So glad to find You, Jimmy, Scott and others! Been watching you on here for several years and I’ve really learned a lot and have been able to use the info to help my friends and family and myself to catch fish and there’s NOTHING better than that! Appreciate your passion, thank you!

Nice video Roland, love that shiner fishing. you never know when that monster will come.

Love how you still get excited while bass fishing. Thanks Roland

I used shiner fish a lot caught hundreds of 9 and 10lb bass haven't been able catch shiners and drifted away from it. It's a lot of fun and a good way catch big ones. You can catch big shiner s with small hook and a dough ball or wadded up bread up.bread. you can bait them with bread, fish pellets or hog ration. Do not be afraid to use big shiner the bigger the better to catch a giant.

Love your videos Roland!! Love shiner fishing!!

Same type of technique we use here in northern Australia for barramundi we use mullet as live bait. The most key important thing we have found to catch the barramundi that are slow an the weather is bad is stuff. Is on live bait. But to really get them while they are moody an don’t wanna eat a key is to really look after the bait. I guess some people don’t understand how much a great looked after bait will be presented to the fish sooo amazingly better an look so more natural an smell natural!!!!! Great tips an some little key secrets. So important to have Well looked after live bait to catch them quality big fish when they arnt to keen on anything else or very active at all!! Big fish are smart. An the more natural an well looked after bait is definitely worth it!

Hey Roland, I've done some shiner fishing for big bass right outside Vero Beach, FL. Lots of fun. Thanks for sharing.

Even if you’re a die hard lure fisherman. Live shiners is a fun way to fish. Use a straight shank circle hook and start reeling as soon as the bobber goes down. Fish without teeth inhale the bait. Quit wasting your time waiting for the bobber to stay down. If you’re not hooking up the bass is too small for the bait

I fished a small lake behind my parents home in venice FL. Years ago and used shiners that we caught in the lake. I was impressed at the size of some of the fish I caught in such a small lake. I’d love to do this again. Thanks for the video! 🇺🇸

I still have the book " Advanced shiner fishing techniques" by Glen Hunter that has Roland in it!

Roland, you still say “Water” like a true Marylander. I like it!

Good stuff Roland! 👊🏼💯🇺🇸 So good to see you back fishing my friend! 🎣🐟

That’s one hell of a great show sir 💪💪

Congrats..... That's one nice 8 pounder......I love the videos.....

I appreciate all the knowledge you share with us thank you Roland

Great watching you fish the shinners.....thank you.

Pretty awesome fish !!!!

Great fish

Great video

You're AWESOME Roland!

Here in South Africa we also very warm water in summer months and very cold water in winter months. They are also not used to extreme changes in water temperature making catching them hard.

That looks like a blast. You gonna publish your book again. Had a copy loaned it out never got it back.

nice catch Mr. Martin! excited to down here in south florida now full time

Always exciting Roland!

Nice video 🙏🏾

I love you Roland!

Shiners are expensive . I’d love to see how you catch them! Great fish, Roland!

It would be cool if you would maybe do a fishing with Roland day give away. That would be a great day to me.

I watched you catching giant bass on shiners many years ago.

Wow would I like to be on the back of your boat right now Roland. I’ll take January in Florida rather than Pa any. Day .

Love the video’s 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Armed hooligans and corona virus can't stop Mr. Martin.

👍👍 it's on my bucket list

Looks like a fantastic way to spend a day in January. Fun fishing for sure, but I couldn't help but notice @13:50 the line didn't go through the first guide. I hate it when that happens!

Great show! Love your channel sir

Hard to beat an active shiner bite. The last one was really nice!! Looked like 8 to me!!

Wish you could release these again as shorts

That was cool. Hey how about showing us how and where you catch shiners? Not talking about the bait shop though. Ha Ha.

Nice 🏃‍♂️ Roland

Nice bass Roland!!

introduce your camera man to us Martin!

That a Tank there!!!!!

Now. When it comes to bass fishing with wild shiners , the North Florida Angler is very hard to top,,,

Since shiners are a fresh water fish species, I presume the salt causes an osmotic stress on them, to which they produce more slime as a defense mechanism against water loss through diffusion across their skin? Is that why their mucus layer increases in salt water? I'd think so...

Hello, I'm called the (Eight Rodd Banditt) 🎣 but my real name is Cory, thanks you the video's!

Hey Roland. What kind of strike indicator are you using? The yellow one looks like a balloon. Can you talk a little bit about your rig? Thanks for all the videos.

give ya the 8 young man😁

Hay Roland are you going to fish the elite series this year I hope you do I’d love to see you winning tournaments again

That place might eventually have a record bass in it. Only thing that will save them from thermal burn out is the enhanced area's deep water. Crossing my fingers someone breaks the record there!

GOAT !!!

I saw that the rod you used was The Big Sexy by Favorite. What action is the rod and what pound test you are using?

Roland like me, always gets bit on the rod he’s not holding.

What is the yellow ballon for a bobber?

Cool video Roland. Do you have catfish there? What you're doing reminds me of catfishing

At 6:23 mark there is a dead tree. I caught a 9/12 right under that tree in May 2020. Not a bad spot.

Hey Roland , do you remember your first 10lb bass

Roland's shiners are about the average size bass I catch! LOL

What action rod are you using?

🇩🇴

What rate of O2 do you use Roland?

8-pound bass

SON!!! That's probably a 20 pounder

I'm sure worried about what happened, today.

Are you native American Roland?
