I'm 57 years old and it seems like I've watched Mr. Martin on TV all my life. My biological father is 90 years old and has never really been a dad as he ran out on our family when I was just 6 years old. I watch Mr. Martin and wonder what it would've been like to have him as a dad. Could you imagine the camping trips and fishing while growing up with Mr. Martin as a dad? Such a likable presence. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I've always been a fan.
I'm an old guy too. First met Roland at a fishing tackle show when I was a sporting goods buyer for a discount store chain in the late 70's. He knew all the new tricks and love to teach. Still enjoy his teaching.
Finally one guy who knows about the quality of the uni-knot! Tying this knot to everything! Only exception: FG for braid to fluo-leader and then uni again from fluo to steel-leader.
I'm an old guy too Roland and have watched you for years. You are an old school fisherman, you remind me of my Father, he would tell me," I am going to show you how to do this" If you find a better faster way, please show me. " Until you do that do it the way I just showed you". I tried many times to do it faster or better. Every time I would end up doing it the way he had shown me. The end of this video reminded me of that lesson I had learned years ago. Thank you, Roland, maybe the younger guys will listen and learn from your knowledge. OG
I'm 64 and have been fishing almost 60 years and appreciate all of your fishing tips. Couldn't find your wealth of knowledge just anywhere. Glad you take the time to share.
Im 52 and watched you as a kid fish on t.v. I follow your son Scott and your granddaughter Hilary and now I just subscribed to your channel Mr.Martin! Definitely a wealth of knowledge coming from you and your family! Hoping to pass down what I learn from your family to mine when it comes to fishing! Looking forward to all your videos!
He seems like one of the coolest guys on the planet. Somebody that I'd love to go fishing with, or just sit and listen to what he has to teach. I bet he's got some great stories to tell.
This gentleman came to an outdoor show in Worcester, Mass some years back. USA Marine was the place. He gave an awesome seminar but you could tell something was off. I was told by a local pro that Mr. Martin had a hernia but didn't want to disappoint his fans. He went back to Florida and had it fixed. God Bless you and yours, Sir !
Exactly lol then after the three stooges and Kung fu theater at noon..Sundays were the best..I remember getting my first B.A.S.S patch in the mail from watching these shows as a very young child. Fell in love with bass fishing and have been active ever since. Bill Dance and Roland Martin were my guys.
Roland we were at the Rio Negro lodge in brazil. you are very nice person. And treated everyone with respect. How’s the wife and manager? The owners father called me the piranha king. Because I caught over 100. You showed me how to make monkey paw knot. And a couple other things.If I had your number I’d like talking with you,to see if you have any knowledge of the people there.
Mr.martin..ive been watching you for a long time.i use to get my son to watch you on .t.v way back in the 1990s.. he just loved it and he got happy fishing because of your show.....thank you sir....my son has sense passed away but when I go fishing I fish for him..he loved fishing mostly because you taught him....you done the job that I couldn't...thank you Mr Martin.
I would love to have a Beer with the legend himself... Nobody on this Universe could explain, share or teach the way with patience and determination for you to learn like Roland Martin... I grew up watching him on TV everytime he came on.... Cheers to Roland Martin...
You represent some of the best years of my life. Sunday late mornings in the 80s. I'm super stoked I found your TH-cam channel. Lots of sore lips cuz of you 😉, Thank you Sir.
My life goal is to shake Mr. Roland Martins hand. My legend, mentor of his fishing career and amazing achievement's! He's really a genuine and all around best!! #1. Thank you, Roland!
Great Video Roland, I'm teaching my 7 year old Great Nephew to be a Sportsman, Fisherman, trying to keep it Simple, Terminal Knots for All line size, I came up with Palomar, Double Uni, and variation of Uni, and Perfection loop, crankbaits, I didn't know that Uni loop, I Like it, Thanks,. Big Fan
@a10warthog61 The video has less then 40,000 views and even less then that would care to read comments so Dale Skelton's comment is hardly put out there to millions of people. PS: I dont think anyone cares if you dont care either.
Roland, I'm an old guy too! (62), just started seriously fishing in the last couple of years in semi-retirement. Your videos have been so awesome in getting me up to speed, thanks! If you want to learn how to ski, come up here to NE, I'll teach you ;)
Roland, from one older man to another, I have followed you since the 1970's and you are the man Brother. I watch all your videos and you are a GREAT teacher. Be safe my brother and God Bless You!!!
I just wanted to say that I viewed this video several months ago. I have returned for a review and I find it very helpful. I had not used a loop knot in a while and forgot how to tie it. I thank you and you should know that your work has long-lasting value. I appreciate you and may God bless.
Took up serious pike fishing and studied all the celeb anglers setting all their gear up, Knots and baiting, but I always struggled with braid and the clinch knot, after 100s of fishing videos this guy is the only one who has ever mentioned you can't use braid for a clinch knot, thanks buddy.
I like teaching people about what I love to do too. I have a lot of trouble learning. I feel have learned how teach because of it. Thanks for teaching me the Palomar knot. I used to use advanced clinch knot until today. Going to catch a monster tomorrow. You are a fantastic teacher. Thank you for being such a good teacher. You have inspired me.
Roland knows his fishing stuff. Comes across as knowledgeable & imparts his knowledge in an easy listening style without any hype. When he talks old school, old school has not gone out of fashion. It works for me. Love ya Roland.
Thanks Roland! I used the klinch knot with braid and was not sure why I lost fish at the Hookset. Put me off braid for a while. Now I see why... thanks for the videos, very insightful. 👍
Twenty years ago I used to glue myself to the tv on a Saturday morning for the big three: Roland Martin, the 'Great American fisherman', Orlando Wilson, and Bill Dance. Good to see Roland has embraced the new technology and is back to share his wisdom. I have to expand my repertoire past the palomar knot to the uni and loop!
This guy has forgotten more about fishing than I'll ever know. Thank you Roland! I remember watching his TV show back in the 70s. A National Treasure. Yo Roland...Son...Dude! We love you bro! Keep doing what ya doing.
Love ya Mr. Martin my dad said you are one of the best fisherman on the planet and he watched you on tv growing up. Now it's my turn. And I think your really good teacher my dad taught me the Uni knot Albright improved fisherman's knot and Bimini. Still can't get the Bimini but I guess since I am only eleven I am doing pretty good I will keep watching you so I can surprise him with knew knots like the Palomar thank you sir. My Dad is hard to please my mom says he is the typical Captain likes to yell and be grouchy unless the fish is in the boat. Wish I could spend more time with him to learn more but he says he gets land sick if he is on land for to long. What ever that means not sure. Well again thanks
Been around decades. He loves to teach and he still has the enthusiasm of a lil kid with a big fish on a cane pole. We all are better for what he conveys to the brother outdoorsman community. All the best.Cheers!
I'm a 74 year old bass fisherman who learned something from you today ! Thanks for freely continuing to contribute your knowledge TO US, YOUR FANS ! Roland Martin TRULY IS " THE GREAT AMERICAN FISHERMAN".
oh my gosh! I used to watch your fishing show on TNN when I was a kid. You really are the reason that I got interested in fishing and I couldn't wait to grow up and get a fishing boat so I could be just like you. I'm still working on the boat part.. lol!
Thanks, Roland! I'm 56 and I've been watching and learning from you since I was a kid. NO ONE has taught me more about fishing than you. I really appreciate how much value you give to those who watch you.
Put me down as well. I'll be 50 and always remember watching Roland, Orlando Wilson, Bill Dance, the Linders, Babe Winkleman, and can't forget about Hank Parker. Learned a ton of tips and tricks I tell you.
I always relied on a clinch knot w/ mono, mostly for trout fishing, but smallmouths have been introduced in my western state - now you talked me into new knots and braided line !
Hey Mr. Martin! Awesome Video. You're a great Teacher. Been teaching me for years! Miss your TNN and CMT shows!! I go way back too! But you're still the BEST!!
When a man masters his profession, he recognizes that he will never quit learning and utilizing his experiences in new problem solving and if he can control his ego, he can relish in sharing his knowledge. Thanks Roland The old professor
I'm not a huge fan of micro guides either but have ended up with a few over the years. I learned the FG knot and it isn't an issue. The FG knot is difficult to learn, I bought a jig and can tie one in under a minute now. I recently learned the Palomar knot for braid and it is incredibly strong. I also have used the un I knot and it works as well, at least I haven't had one fail yet. The glue tip is something I will try, I carry super glue for other things. The uni loop knot you showed looks amazing I have been struggling to tie the loop knots. I have been tying the uni knot since I was a kid and can tie it blind folded so this interests me. Thanks for the tips.
I've watched you on TV for years when I was a youngster. I never knew you where a Teacher and served in the Army. Thank you for your service and much respect from one Vet to another.
Wow! Roland Martin! I remember you back when you were just a young buck and still had some color on the roof! ;-) I agree that a palmer knot is probably the easiest and best knot for braided line. But the cinch that my grandpa taught me, after you passed the end threw the eye that was made, then you past the end threw the loop that was just created before pulling it snug. It could also be made stronger by passing threw the last loop 3 or 4 times. Good to see ya again Roland.
Thank you Roland! I love your videos, and have been a fan since I was a kid, (I'm 43 now, lol) I learned how to tie the Palomar knot watching your TV show many years ago and it's been my go to knot ever since.
I remember watching you, and Orlando Wilson with my dad growing up in the 80's. I still can pretty much recite the theme songs to both of those shows. My father was an avid fisherman, and pretty much gave me the bug and I am passing it along to my 9 year old son. Seeing these videos is almost like seeing an old friend again that you haven't seen in a long time. I really enjoy your insight, expertise, and your overall passion for fishing. I have to say we need more good ol' boys like you these days. Take care and I will see you around ol' friend. :)
I have enjoyed watching Roland Martin catch fish for as long as I can remember. He could always take lesser fishermen to school. Glad to see that we can get some schooling still. I'm an old guy too.
awesome video sir...big fishing trip this week and was testing the clinch knot with the braid and it was not working.. kept coming undone.. then i found your video!!! thank you!!
I too am an educator, and I think the key to Roland’s success is his teaching background. His ability to communicate his knowledge in a clear way is unmatched. Like a true educator, he encourages self-discovery and innovation after providing us the tools we need to be successful.
Roland you've been a national treasure for years. Thank you for all you have done to promote this national past time. You are a pro and an icon and I am grateful for you imparting your expertise on anyone who is lucky enough to tune in.
Roland, that was absolutely the best knot tying video on braid I have ever seen. And from the master himself! You showed me, you convinced me, and gave me confidence that I can tie these and they are the best for braid. I am totally with you on the braid and braid plus leader setups. I do tie the Palomar, and I have tried the FG knot with mixed success, but from now on it’s the double uni for me! I have also tried the loop knot but I need to practice it more because I usually end up with either too big a loop or virtually no loop. Thank you for the great teaching sir! It is an honor snd privilege to learn from you. Thank you for continuing to teach and inspire confidence like no other! Love you Roland!
Approximately 42 years ago, I met you as a teenager when I attended a seminar you taught at a boat dealership in Morris, Illinois. (pre-internet days) You gave me advice on fishing for smallmouth in the boundary waters. That day you taught me how important knowledge was to being a successful fisherman. It led me to also attending a 2 week coarse taught by Jimmy Houston, and I was lucky enough to fish with Bud Andrews and Doug Hannon. The impact you have made on my last 40 years of fishing that led to wonderful memories made with my wife, sons and daughter is something I will always appreciate. Thank You!
I grew up watching you for years, and still do because you love what you do, you love teaching others your craft and have fun doing it. We know we’re getting the best info straight, with no BS. Thanks for doing these videos, 👍🎣🇺🇸
THank you. I'll be using braid for the first time this summer. This was a great demo. I used to watch you fish on TV when I was at my grandfather's place as a wee lad. I'm a fly fisherman by heart so these knots will be perfect to add to that application as well.
Roland... it's time to order some more fishing line. Judging from the shelves behind you, you're running low hahaha Thanks for your videos! One of the only channels that I won't miss a single video.
One of the best teachers I never had.

Excellent presentation. Simple easy to understand clear instruction. No silly loud music, no gimmicks, Well done!
Now I know how to make loop knot thnx for this video watching from Philippines 🇵🇭 👍
This is one of the best knot videos EVER!

Just spent 40 minutes practicing Palamar, Double Uni and single uni loop knots. Thanks Roland.

I was raised to Respect my elders..and you sir RM are worth respecting.

Thanks martin for your excellent and easy-to-understanding demo. It's great!!
Professor Martin. Grew up watching back in the day . Still watching in the day.
Mr. Martin, you are a class act. Thank you so much for what you do.
Thanks for the do not clinch knot portion. I been using that forever. Never realized this.
Drink every time he’s says “not” or “knot”
You’re the best Roland. This video was super simple and helpful!
Mr. Martin I have been a fan for decades, you sir are a class act and I'd love to fish with you some day
It's good to see an expert's knots for braid. Double the braid, tie the clinch knot and it works amazing. Thanks for making this video.
You can be my fishing uncle from now on !
Love rainbow trout , and #1 favorite pompano 🐟

What a national treasure Roland Martin is! I’ve looked up to him for at least 40 years of my life.
This man is a LEGEND in fishing every person fishing today for a living should thank this man for making the sport of fishing what it is today.....
I too am an educator, and I think the key to Roland’s success is his teaching background. His ability to communicate his knowledge in a clear way is unmatched. Like a true educator, he encourages self-discovery and innovation after providing us the tools we need to be successful.
What a good man ... reminds me of my Uncle Gaius. The Lord bless you both. Thank you, Mr. Martin.
Roland you've been a national treasure for years. Thank you for all you have done to promote this national past time. You are a pro and an icon and I am grateful for you imparting your expertise on anyone who is lucky enough to tune in.
Roland, that was absolutely the best knot tying video on braid I have ever seen. And from the master himself! You showed me, you convinced me, and gave me confidence that I can tie these and they are the best for braid. I am totally with you on the braid and braid plus leader setups. I do tie the Palomar, and I have tried the FG knot with mixed success, but from now on it’s the double uni for me! I have also tried the loop knot but I need to practice it more because I usually end up with either too big a loop or virtually no loop. Thank you for the great teaching sir! It is an honor snd privilege to learn from you. Thank you for continuing to teach and inspire confidence like no other! Love you Roland!
Approximately 42 years ago, I met you as a teenager when I attended a seminar you taught at a boat dealership in Morris, Illinois. (pre-internet days) You gave me advice on fishing for smallmouth in the boundary waters. That day you taught me how important knowledge was to being a successful fisherman. It led me to also attending a 2 week coarse taught by Jimmy Houston, and I was lucky enough to fish with Bud Andrews and Doug Hannon. The impact you have made on my last 40 years of fishing that led to wonderful memories made with my wife, sons and daughter is something I will always appreciate. Thank You!
I remember that I was there at Bedford Sales in Morris with Roland good times!!!
Thank you Roland. Nothing better then listening to they ol Timers for sure. ....
Another great video Roland. The uni loop knot is a great idea. Thanks.
Great video thanks Roland, been watching you since I was a kid.
As much as I hate braid, your video tutorials and coaching are leaning me closer to making the switch and upping my game.
Thank You Roland! :)
Roland you are truly a legend can watch you all day everyday ty for sharing your knowledge..
He hits all the senses with ; honesty, warm sincerety and aged humbleness!
I grew up watching you for years, and still do because you love what you do, you love teaching others your craft and have fun doing it. We know we’re getting the best info straight, with no BS. Thanks for doing these videos, 👍🎣🇺🇸
THank you. I'll be using braid for the first time this summer. This was a great demo. I used to watch you fish on TV when I was at my grandfather's place as a wee lad. I'm a fly fisherman by heart so these knots will be perfect to add to that application as well.
