I grew up watching Your Dad, Bill Dance and Shaw Grigsby on Saturday mornings. When I got old enough to fish I did, grew up in Green Cove Springs, Florida and fished as much as possible. Fast forward and I’m 52 now and get still out as much as I can, in fact was scheduled to be there on Okeechobee this weekend but the weather just came in and kicked my plans. From the looks of it, I should’ve still went. But come mid-February it’s game on!! Hope to see you or your family around Scott. Thank you for the time you take to give all of us pointers from your great arsenal of information. Tight lines and be safe.
Hopefully you can get out there soon Mitch!
They catching fish. I been out here two days ain't caught shit
I’m 48 now but when I was a kid my good buddy’s dad took the three of us fishing on Lake Okeechobee in 1990. We tried fishing by ourselves for the first couple days, and those huge bass wrecked all our gear and broke our poles. For the last day we hired a guide. His name was Tennessee. He got us on the fish and we each caught one ranging from 8-10 lbs. It was the best fishing trip ever. That lake is special and should be protected. Awesome vid!
The worst part about these is that you can’t see where they’re casting it (or where the bait itself is landing). Regardless, it’s always fun to watch these. I just watched that video of his dad teaching flipping fundamentals, that I swear was fake (I say that in jest). But, I absolutely love Roland. But, I swear, there was a pen under the brush he was fishing that had ten 10lb'ers. He just HAPPENED to pull up to a random spot of super heavy brush, and was pulling out absolutely HUGE fish one after another, complete with a broken rod. It was very "Bill Dance-esq". He wasn't even casting, just dropping the bait in, and bam "Oh, what do you know, there's a 12lb bass!" It was really funny, but incredibly fun to watch. My wife and I were rolling. But, I grew up watching Roland. His energy is absolutely infectious.....you can see it in Scott, as well. I remember when Roland first started filming on that Okeechobee scene. No one had heard of it, other than Floridians. He was doing segments on balloon fishing back then. Scott must've been younger than even I was when watching that. Oh, the memories. Still haven't gotten out on Okeechobee...but, will this winter, guaranteed....so, I'm researching where to launch, and the good spots. I'd settle for a day of 3-5lb bass, if nothing else. Scott’s energy, and positive vibes are so much like his father. It’s great to see him carrying on the legacy, and he’s just a fun to watch.
Chad is an awesome guide. My wife and I enjoyed being on the lake last Saturday with him. Only two bass & one catfish each but way better than being back home in Illinois!!
Scott, your dad was a teacher and explains his fishing videos so well. His teaching skills have certainly rubbed off on you because you explain everything on your videos like your dad. Best of luck in your 2022 Elite tournaments. 🎣🐟
That's was awesome jumping pads with the new Yamaha!
I can tell that trim was cranked up to 💯!
Nice job Chad. Hope we get a chance to fish with you again this year sometime. Chad is an excellent guide you all!
Okeechobee, my fav....Love ya'll and looking forward to watching your next videos as always!!!
Fished Okeechobee four years ago on a heat of the moment trip and actually saw you. Later that day I caught my PB of 10.2 and had it mounted. I love that Lake no doubt.
Son !!! 🎣🤙
Great fishing guys ! Having to much fun!!
Power fishing. Gotta love it. I know drop shots and finesse works but nothing like punching mats for lockness monsters.
Nothing like it!
Excellent video ! Scott ya`ll caught some awesome bass, Congratulation ! All my life i been told if you want to catch some big bass go to Florida or Lake Okeechobee. I was raise up in southwest Arkansas all of my life and i have caught some nice bass but not even a 4 lbs. bass, mainly more bass instead of big bass. Hey on the other hand my dad was a big bass fisherman and he has really caught some big one here. Good luck and best wishes on your next fishing trip ! I would really like to watch you win the Bassmaster Classic like your father Roland Martin did so many year ago. When i was in school back in the 70`s my best friend and i would wish we could fish the Redman Tournament Trail because that what you had to do to be able to fish the Bassmaster.
Love all the great videos and tricks u have to share went from catching manny small guys to last year pulling 4-5 lbers left and right appreciate the education you have provided and can’t wait for spring to hit
Love watching you fish. You are my favorite angler
🙏🏼
Man I’m just thankful for the knowledge you share now not including your and other guys on Saturday mornings started it all for me
This grass is so important, it's amazing to see we have been fighting hard for it. YEEHAW BOIS LETS GRIND UP SOME PADS !!! Kidding I know that it doesn't cause any damage but damn that's funny lol
Great video learn a lot from your videos good luck this year ill be watching them all praying for you
Looks just like harsens in Michigan but without the snow
hey scott my family has been dealing with covid and stuff right now and while ive been quorintend my dad and i have been watching you every day and i cant wate till the hartwell clasic thats a good lake
I learned a lot from your video. I'm a salt water guy seeking lots more how-to information on making the transiition to bass fishing.. The catching part was excellent but for me it would have been helpful for you to discuss in some detain at least one time for each rig used the rod/lure specifics ie. lure-weight-hook-trailer-skirt etc. and then note the configuration you are using each time your switch rods. Also I'm very interested in learning more about the specific vegetation you are fishing and when to target it.
Awesome tips, thanks Scott, great video and thanks for sharing this with us! Much appreciated my friend!
I was on the edge of my seat When you ran thru those pads at such aHigh rate of speed 😬 Great information thanks 👍
Thanks Scott for your videos and advice on setting up our boats and fishing tips really appreciate it 🙏
Your right bro the lake is looking kick ass hydrilla and eel grass every where now we need a warm front lol
good fish boss greetings from Indonesian anglers 🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨
Hey Scott
Took it like a champ ! 🏆
Where do the fish get released in the water after a tournament round. And do they make their way back to the area where they were caught.
I can’t wait until time to start fishing shallow catching em. It’s still cold here in Louisiana and the water in the 50s. Still another month or so before we start wackin em
You know he’s in his old boat that’s for sale when he says let’s hit it at about 50-60 mile an hour and jump it and on the ad he’s going to say good condition slightly used like brand new easy hours!!
Best kinda fishin you can do. Big rod big weight with the big fish.
For sure!
Scott what do you think about what randy said about the waters down in Florida
Hey Scott, LOVE watching your videos. I have taken up bass fishing in Australia because of your videos. Australian bass seem to be a bit harder to catch. Can you do a gear video and go over rods and reels? I hear mixed things. Some say as light as possible and use 4lb and some say use 15lb +
Scott what baitcast reel are you using and gear ratio and lbs of drag ?
7.3:1 shimano metanium
Would love to fish with you someday Scott your one of my favorite fisherman that I love to watch I've learned so many tips and new stuff from watching your videos big fan
Hello Big fish
Love the music. What is it? Great video
I wish there was grass on Toledo Bend
Need to know where I can get one of those hats
Wow
Hey Scott , what’s chads guided trip called or website?? I’ll be down from Kansas City Missouri in May and would love to book a trip with him if possible.
Hey love your tips. What are the reels you use in your videos?
Shimano Metanium
Would you ever fish with Kevin van dam at all?
Very good sir
Thank you!
I mean how do you even learn to do that blowing a pad field. What’s the trail and error of that hahaha
So when are you coming back to Toledo bend?
Me & my husband was wondering how do you not get snagged on the grass or weeds
Thanks Scott for the video and tips hope your opponents don’t watch this channel LOL 😂
😂😂
Whats best flippin rod combo scott?
Me carbon light 2.0 7’6 heavy extra fast
When do the tournament videos start back up? Don’t get me wrong I like all the videos but the tournament videos r awesome.
Where can I buy that Garmin hoodie 🔥🔥🔥
What lure were y’all throwing besides Chatter
Everyone keeps saying that lake is done for. But I keep seeing good fish coming out of it. Is it a good lake or a bad one?
Scott i would love to have one of them Garmin Aftco Hoodies. Could you send me one or how could i get one?
Yo Scott when we goin fishing
Grown men should never yell "Lets go". Ever.
Hey Scott how come nt using googan rods?
Does anyone know where he got his aftco garmin sweatshirt
Terrible time to release a video. NFL prime time
Listening to you about your electronics I was hoping to get your honest opinion I fish the California delta only and never go to lakes and there are spots you get 20-30 foot holes but majority of the River is under 10-15 feet would you spend the money on that high-end sonar for live imaging or just a regular graph?
What is your pb bass
12 2!
I cote a 4 and half bass wen I was 7 I'm 12 now
Have you seen Loud Mouth James again?
Scott Martin : it's a giant guys it's a giant this thing is absolutely massive look at the ripples on the water it's a freaking giant guys I just can't stress it enough this thing is bigger than the skeeter ...
2 hours later : guys I've caught a gizzard shad but that's OK it just shows how this lake filters itself and produces nuclear energy so the bass can hibernate near the Ramada Inn
Shhhhhhh don't say all those green things are back...talking too loud the sprayers are listening for that 🤣🤣🤫🤫🤭🙈🙊🙏🙏🙏🙏👀.... I wish they would listen to us fishermen and stay more flexible with the program, adding harvesting machines to our big lakes as well
Scott Martin : ......guys it's a giant this is it this is the fish of a lifetime guys it's a giant dear God have mercy on my grandma I've just hooked what may be the fish the Googan draw pictures of when they're laying on each other's chest it's a giant guys I just peed myself it's now flowing down my legs guys thus this thing is a giant guys it appears that I've just shattered my sternum on this giant.......HOLY CRAP RELEASE THE DRONES THIS IS A GIANT !!!!!!
2 hours later : guys i just snagged a mesquite branch it wasn't the giant I was expecting but that's OK it just shows how diverse and fragile this ecosystem is
Scott Martin : it's a giant guys it's a freaking giant oh my get the cameras guys I just hooked up a giant this thing is massive ...look how it's bending the tip of the rod holy crop guys this is a global record look how my asscheeks are squeezed together it's unheard-of this is it it's a giant dear God...
Bass weight = 2 pounds
You are going fully braid... haha ....wtf
