Main problem with bank fishing is there's not much bank left to fish these days. Some lakes are so overdeveloped that there's almost no public fishing access beyond the boat launch. As a kid I could fish practically anywhere back in the 80's and 90's. Great video Roland. You're my favorite dude.
Love it Rowland your helping people learn how to employ basic bass fishing. I met you on person in the mid 90's and you are the most approachable pro fisherman I've ever met.
Roland ive been watching you since i was a boy with my old man, im 40 now and nothing has changed - love your stuff and approach to fishing. Youre still out here catching PBs casually off the bank 😂 just amazing! Much love from NY!
The legend. Every time im in basspro i think of you. It's always a pleasure watching your videos since i was a little kid on tv. Much love and respect roland
Yesssssirrrrr I love bank fishing 🎣 Roland, I got a bite on a Texas rig Finally, set a hook like you and pros do ... I saw my line swimming 🏊♀️ off .... ..... I was like, FINALLY! After 42 YEARS ...... So, I reeled down and set the hook 🪝🐟 hard! Felt great!
Wow. You are giving me so much confidence to work the banks of a lake I have access to. I don't have a boat and the bank is mostly surrounded by trees, so I need to get better at flipping under-handed to work a bank and not get caught in the trees. Haven't worked a spinner bait because there are very heavy pads in the area, but I'll try my luck with a chatterbait. Thanks, Roland!
Bro , sunday march 26th i was fishing in the middle of a severe thunder storm i fired out googan squad micro zinger spinner bait solid white caught a 2 pound largemouth bass on my 1st ever bait caster and i swear that spinner bait saved my life that fateful day
Roland , on march 26th i was fishing in middle of a servere thunder storm with sky to ground lightning , so about 09:27Am i get my bait caster and tie on the googan squad micro zinger spinner bait solid white , on my last cast i caught a lil 2pound largemouth , so i ran inside fast as i could safely go , with ole 2 pounds dangling on the hook i show my mom while i was on the verge of tears , she says why do i look like im about to be in tears , which i replied cause this is my 1st Largemouth bass on my 1st baitcaster on the spinnerbait this year , i swear that spinnerbait saved my life that day , then aftet i took photos so post on instagram i ran back out and released ole 2 pounds in the water , but i swear the spinnerbait saved my life
That last fish is why you ALWAYS work the lure all the way back to you. I've had a lot of really nice fish bite right at my feet, including a trophy sized steelhead.
You’re the man Roland!! I lost what I guessed was prolly a 7 or 8 lb bass on a chatterbait on Saturday, I thought to myself, what would Roland have said that would have helped me not lose it 😅
I have that same chartreuse and blue war eagle 🦅. I love a spinner bait. Always saw one of my uncles fishing 🎣 one when I was a kid and just thought they looked cool. Thanks for all you do Roland, was fun watching you catch those water pickles 👍
Nice Roland ! Parallel Along the Bank Works If You Have Cover Or Decent Depth. I've Had Luck In My Favorite River Fishing Along The Bank. I've Seen Swim Right Along It In Front of Me.
The GOAT casually walks up to a pond to fish from the bank. You know, leave the boat at home, connect with the common man, and cast from the shore. Moments later he lands a PB Hybrid. I swear this man has a deal with the devil! =)
Roland could win a tournament just by fishing the banks.I have a boat but fish a great spot from shore a 30ft weed patch that will replenish itself every hour with 3-6 lbs bass.People fishing all around not catching anything and getting frustrated watching me walk up and immediately catch bass.
"Down the shore line" - that is my favorite fishing! Usually the lilly pads are out about 5-10 feet then a little drop off....I do a lot of local pond fishing in NJ!
I agree they look smaller than he says but I’ve also seen him catch huge fish and if anything he understates the weight. I was wondering if the wide angle view made them look small. Compare them to his body … they’re not small fish.
Yeah he 100% overestimated all of these fish by 2+ pounds. Idk if it’s age or what but even comparing the size of of the fish to his body you can tell none of those are huge fish
I bet you 98% of these people people don’t have a bass boat. That’s what they do bank fishing. When did bank fishing become some sort of hard thing to do that’s all I’ve done all my life.

amazing !!! Roland has caught thousands and thousands of bass in his life but still gets excited when he catches one.
I always say if you love fishing you will always be a kid I been fishing ever since I was a kid and I love it the same way when I was a kid
Dude gets an 8 pounder an is just like, yeah... that's a nice one. Keeps casting like it's not a big deal 👏👏👏
Ooo weee that's a big one son. That's a big one son lmao. Love this guy

I banked fish most of my childhood and had an absolute blast!
@uqox Spinner baits work in lily pads, too - they can still get hung up, but most of the time you can pull em right through.
I grew up watching you perform i couldn't wait for Saturday mornings and watch you fish when i was a kid and im 44yrs old and like to watch you fish
Lovin’ these videos and explanations Roland! God bless! 🎣
Keep the videos coming, please Roland. You are the best in my book!

Always appreciate your enthusiasm for fishing and catching Roland. Saw your truck at Headwaters last week but missed saying hello. Next time....
Awesome Roland!!! You're the best of all time 👍🎣🇺🇸👍🎣🇺🇸👍🎣🎣👍🎣🇺🇸

Nice monster hybrid you caught!
Roland hank bill dance and jimmy are the kings of bass fishing used to watch all y’all’s shows on CMT y’all are bass fishing
Love to see you fishing, Roland! When you head to my home stomping grounds of Missouri it really brings great joy and memories!
Roland one of the best all time Bass fisherman ever
Gotta love pond fishing!
Roland your camera is fine. Enjoy the fight and fish. We can see everything great
I have that same chartreuse and blue war eagle 🦅. I love a spinner bait. Always saw one of my uncles fishing 🎣 one when I was a kid and just thought they looked cool. Thanks for all you do Roland, was fun watching you catch those water pickles 👍
Fun drinking game…watch this video and a take a shot every time he’s says shoreline 😂 great fishing video
You take “shoreline I’ll take “son”. 😂
Great bait for windy days specially in a private stocked lake
I just love bass fishing,I will probably go today after work,bank and pond fishing is all I Do . usually the worm and the rattle trap
Thanks Roland
Best tournament bass fisherman that ever walked the Earth
I enjoy fishing from the bank, especially when you can get away from all the boat traffic in the lake.
Wow Roland that’s a good day fishing there..👏👏👏👍
Your in my neck of the woods,Roland, glad to see you catching good bass,Bank fishing!I done alot until I got a kayak!
Nice Roland ! Parallel Along the Bank Works If You Have Cover Or Decent Depth. I've Had Luck In My Favorite River Fishing Along The Bank. I've Seen Swim Right Along It In Front of Me.
Been watching Roland for ages . Love this guy,,son.
North,South, East or West Roland will catch the best 🎣🎣🎣
Cause, he’s the great American fisherman, he’ll fish anywhere…
Whooo Son!!!! Keep it up Roland, love your videos!🇺🇸
Good stuff Roland!
Thanks for sharing my friend!
🎣 👊🏼💯🇺🇸
Good job rollen
Good to see you Roland, nice fish
that "whiper" was awesome!! what a fish! oh Son!

Awesome video as usual Roland!
So good to see Roland fishin again.
Request: Boost your audio output out some. His voice is very quiet compared to other videos I see on TH-cam.
Roland gotta start putting these fish on a scale lol. Overestimates the size of every fish!
I yo yo them on the drop in cold weather bam but he’s the man the spinner bait it bottom top middle covers all aspects
Love bank fishing there’s to many boats on the water today
Hey welcome roland to Mo.wish I could meet you some day fan for years
Good one
Dang Mr. Martin are you at a Jonny Morris pond or an O’reiley property. Us mere serfs can’t grow em like that in our pasture ponds.
the last fish waked the water before it hit roland's spinnerbait. way cool
Roland could win a tournament just by fishing the banks.I have a boat but fish a great spot from shore a 30ft weed patch that will replenish itself every hour with 3-6 lbs bass.People fishing all around not catching anything and getting frustrated watching me walk up and immediately catch bass.
Thanks Roland!
It helps fishing somewhere with giant bass too.

"Down the shore line" - that is my favorite fishing! Usually the lilly pads are out about 5-10 feet then a little drop off....I do a lot of local pond fishing in NJ!
That pond is loaded
Can the hybrids still breed with the normal bass ? From SA.
Do you tie you leader to the spinnerbait or using some kind of snap lock?
Sometimes being on the bank can be a advantage water with a lot of pressure tends to create spooky fish
I think I could catch one there
Hell yeah specially when u don't have move more than ten feet
Much respect sir
SON ! ❤
Out of all the lures it's hard to beat a good spinnerbait bite, they smash it in late feb
Most of these honeyholes are private and you have to know someone to fish there
Most? Absolutely not. Google maps is your friend.
He has access to many private well stocked lakes. Notice he never mentions the name of this lake
This looks like a private lake filled with monster bass good luck finding a place like that if your not Roland Martin
Where is the backup Senko??
No trailer on the spinner? Is that your usual setup? Thanks. Why no trailer?
Are you using a trailer?
I think it’s crazy how he just drops that rod wherever, with the reel right in the dirt
Can you put a link to that chartruse and blue war eagle spinner bait
You don't use a trailer on your spinnerbait?
What gear ratio you have in that spinner bait setup
How do you cast that spinner bait out there without any weights????
Wonderful video, but that was the 4 poundest looking 8 pounder I've ever seen lol
Going to get a king mackerel tomorrow
Where did he hit it roland...tell me again where did he hit it roland...right there on the bank...thanks roland.
What color spinner is that?
Roland walking the bank: catches a huge bass
Me walking the bank: catches small perch, small crappie, and small bass 🤨😐😑
Hybrid looked just like a big Crappie
Those are called Imagination Fish... very rare and hard to catch.
That hybrid looked like an overgrown crappie
I haven’t caught an 8 pounder, Roland … and I know got a FACT that’s not 8 lbs. SMFH
I agree they look smaller than he says but I’ve also seen him catch huge fish and if anything he understates the weight. I was wondering if the wide angle view made them look small. Compare them to his body … they’re not small fish.
Yeah he 100% overestimated all of these fish by 2+ pounds. Idk if it’s age or what but even comparing the size of of the fish to his body you can tell none of those are huge fish
No ‘naturally’ formed lake should be off limits to its citizens, so sick of private development!
Should be able to fish any where I guess when it's Roland Martin you can fish anywhere
I bet you 98% of these people people don’t have a bass boat. That’s what they do bank fishing. When did bank fishing become some sort of hard thing to do that’s all I’ve done all my life.
Fishing in a private stocked pond. Not impressed..
That's a lot of fish tacos with Roland where I am from we don't have them in CT if we did WOW
You read my mind.. take a wild guess where I'm flying to next week
Love that spinnerbait bite
