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!!
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.
3 MONTHS huh? well take it from someone who fished bass for 46 YEARS... practice, practice, practice your casting. learn what the fish are doling when you are fishing a body of water in regards to the time of year, time of day, water conditions, clarity, temp, forage availability and presence of cover. kno that its less about the ACTUAL lure than it is to put the bait right in front of the fish. you can have the wrong bait on the right day and still get a strike. but you can have the right bait on the right day, and if you cant put it in front of a bass... you wont get jack. think like a fish! to catch a fish. just thot i would pass some knowledge your way that you didnt have to search for... msg me if you want. Morgan is here to help young anglers... i know what i said is real generalized.... but if you search what general advises i gave you, then you will get the specifics. oh yeah, avoid paralysis of analysis and dont break the bank at the bait shoppe! JIG, PLASTIC WORM (AND CREATURE BAIT) CRANKBAIT, JERKBAIT BUZZBAIT, SPINNERBAIT. THATS IT. as far as artificials... night crawlers, shiners, CRAWDADDY'S shad and bluegill for live baikt when the bite gets tough in the winter. 90% of my fish, BIG fish come from jig and plkastic worm period. and of coarse i endorse ol'Roland's 65 lb. braid. its the only way to fish. cheers.
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.
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...
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 .
😂 “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.
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 .
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 ...
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.
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
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
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 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!
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.
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.
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 🤪🤪
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.
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.
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
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 Roland, have ever fished western Ukraine ? As I am going next mouth on a fishing trip with my wife and if you have any tips would be great. Thank you
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!!
*_❤Big Roland 😂,_*
*_I Love how the "Bass Hit"🎣 when he was Making a Point in the Grass._*
LOL... "You don't wanna flip it that far, oh, I got one" haha. I'm gonna try that again.
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.
"The fish are usually on the edge....." Wham! 60' in the reeds.
MuahMan i was laughing so hard on that.
Thank you Ronald, just started bass fishing 3 months ago n you has been a great teacher, thanks again Sir!!! 👍👍👍

oh and you can pick up some sweet rods and reels used off ebay...
oh yeah, learn horizontal and vertical presentations and when, where and whys of ém. HUGE INFO THERE!
Do you bank fish ? Iv starting filming videos about bank fishing only . If you would like to subscribe you'll know when the first one is uploaded .
He is a great teacher I grew up watching him on Saturday morning as a kid.
I can watch Rolando expalin fishing techniques all day! Thanx for sharing your knowledge 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.
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 😉
Thats the easy way, for sure!

Roland, you catch more fish accidentally then I do most days trying hard. Great video.
The more of your videos of yours I watch the more respect I have for you.
Awesome always enjoy your videos, Thanks Roland

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
always thro something different than your buddy... if he is horizontal u go vertical. and vice versa.
Love your Fishing videos Sir! ❤
Thank you really for sharing your fishing experiences with us! Really helpful
I really that you always teach the BASICS Roland, thank you for another great video 👊👊👍
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...
Didn't realize that you should keep moving when flipping/pitching heavy cover. Great tip, thanks Roland.
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
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!
Love the coloring on those upper-midwest bass.
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!
Dont worry about the #'s, it'll come, keep at it...great videos👍
Absolutely this best how to I have seen. Thank you!!!
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.
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
Thanks for the tips and great video as always keep on catching the big ones
It was awesome that you caught the bass by accident haha
Man Roland you are the best been the watching you forever learned so much from you Thanks
Awesome video Roland! Great tutorial!!
very awesome Roland.

Well done Roland. Excellent video! I always learn something from you!!!!!!!
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 🤪🤪
US line use to make a black dacron line . That's all we used on our bait casters back in the 60 s !
I can pitch 40 feet. Wham!! A fish!!! It would've broke me off.
Thanks and God Bless.
Great how to video. Love these.Thanks Roland
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.

It's hard to pitch and flip while sitting down In a kayak.
Great video Roland and good luck..
Great video Roland!!!!!
You caught some nice fish. Thanks for the tips.
Roland you’re awesome keep it up love what you do.
Roland great video theres nothing like a jig bite it would half to be my pet lure god bless keep the videos coming
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.
Great Video. Roland even catches them when he's not trying to.
Most helpful video I’ve seen in awhile!
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
This last month h has been the slowest fishing of the year
😁 Don't pitch in the middle of all the weeds ha...you caught one! LOL!!
Thanks for that bit of info Sir, that's just what I wrote to you about previously
I love these! Never stop, please!
Would the marker scent throw them off? I suppose not if your doing it, but that was my first thought.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and admitting that big fish was luck. A lot of fishermen would say it was skill
Only Roland catches a nice bass by accident! "Hey, folks, you don't want to do this because...damn, I got a fish on."
Nice video, appreciate all you do, keep it up!
Thanks Mr. Roland Martin!!👍
Nice Video!
Thank you
Captain Carpman
Thank you sir enjoyed the video.
Why does he make it look so easy I’m going nuts trying to figure out my bait caster
The greatest Bass Slayer of all time son,👽🤧
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
Thanks for your tips Roland. They really work for me when the fishing gets tough.🎣👊
Cool video! Question, where can I get those butt caps You use on your heavy flipping sticks??
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?
Just trying different areas and wind and water conditions
Thank you sir. Really enjoying the website.
Lyn makes 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.
Thanks for all the valuable information going to try it out tonight night fishing
6:35 what a great way to look at it.
Mr Roland there is a line company called LYN and they make black braid
Mr. Martin, do you Texas rig the trailer on the jig, for the heavy cover situations?
Thanks Roland!!!
Would you color your line black if you were fishing mono or flouro and a different bait or only this type of fishing
Good question but clear floro would be better
More exciting than the Bill D videos
Do you loosen the reel dial all the way when Pitching. I'm trying to learn this technique.
I keep the spool real loose
@@RolandMartinOutdoors Thanks Roland you're the best.
What is your best jig and the trailer you like the best
Can I use a light punch rig in the Reed with 20 or 25 lb fluro
I think you need to take on Trash Talking James:)
Thank you Roland
Roland I’m in Southern California and I never seen anyone keep large mouth bass to eat!
Hi Roland, have ever fished western Ukraine ? As I am going next mouth on a fishing trip with my wife and if you have any tips would be great. Thank you
For some reason I expected comedy!....Nice Fishing tips, thanks..
Hey Roland where you getting the porkrinds Uncle Josh is out of business and the die never saw that before
I'm using plastic chunks
How do you set the reel with bread to be able to pitch Roland
?
Roland What brand of jig are you using son?
Medlock 1/2 once black and blue
Nice ones! 👍🏼
thank you Roland....
Ugg Button. Where can I get one?
what are those big butt caps on your rods, where do you get them???
Let's go it's a nother video by the man himself!!!
Ugg Button? Looks like a Luna Sea Cush It
Yes
Hello Mr. Martin, what jig do you use?
Thanks teach
