Lake Okeechobee’s monster bass finally showed up and record catches were taken! The western and northern reedy shorelines , particularly where the blue gills were bending, held hundreds of giant bass with 20 , 5 bass stringers over 30 pounds on the Roland Martin Marina tournament on Saturday May 6th 2023. This appears to be a Florida record tournament catch! I fished the lake the following Monday and Tuesday and did equally as well. The water was calm and the strikes were legendary. I also explain all the details and the pattern. This is epic frog fishing!

Step 1: move to Florida lol
use your celebrity and get them to stop spraying/killing all of the lakes in florida Roland! its criminal!!
I would love to fish with him so much Knowledge you could learn!
Nice Henry Ford reference 🤙🏻
Well " roland has many decades of experience that's why when he is teaching us thru his videos he has probably made the same mistake ththat we have many times over,, either fishing from shore or out on the lakes, or in some of his saltwater shows also,,
Wish there were fish like that in New England and if there are… I can’t find ‘em
Good upload thanks Roland! Live action! Son!
If you don't have a working scale, take an accurate length measurement and use a look up table.
You were on em
I like your Rolex
I watched Roland every week back in the 80s and 90s. There is one person responsible for everyone knowing about Lake Okeechobee bass…and it's Roland Martin (well, Doug Hannon too)! Anyway, I find Roland's You Tube Channel today and I swear I'm still watching a video from the 90s! Roland never ages, I guess…and I'm glad he's still doing well!! 🙂
Man o man. I've been watching you on TV with my dad ever since I was little. I love fishing. I would love to come down to Florida and fish with you.
All the big fish through the years, and Roland still gets excited. Gotta love it son.
Love your excitement, still but I agree nothing more thrilling than trophy bass,or even smaller, on a frog! Stay after them Roland!
Is he fishing with his son, or does he just call everyone Son?
that had to be 10 lbs
Nice video!
Would do anything to fish with Roland for a day 😢 true legend.
Were heading to your resort in a couple of weeks. Go about twice a year with not so good luck. Hopefully this trip will change all of that. Thanks for the joy to watch you fish!
He’s the best of the best!
Blitz lures, buzz frog is my favorite. They can’t resist the flipping legs .
Ive been watching roland for a long tine and enjoy his excitement for fishing. I have 1 question. I love top water fishing and i was just wondering if a black frog is the way to go in Virginia. Ive always used a dark green frog and was wondering if it would be good to get an arsenal of black frogs. Love ya roland and keep up the good fishing.
Wit0h all the fishing you do, how often do you have the drags on the reels serviced?
"Cushit" it's called a Cushit
Oh yeah we gotta weigh him! 😏
That’s a NICE big hog leg. Liked
Roland, what did you use to pull the bigger hook through the frog? I have caught several 10# bass on the 3/0 hook but have lost several too. Would like to try putting in the bigger hook. Thanks
I'm spending 2-3 hours on the lake catching nothing very frustrated
Can someone get this man a new scale? Or some batteries…. Jesus, the scales never work
He's the world's greatest fisherman he'll fish anywhere any place there's water you know he'll be there. Thank you Roland 👍Son! It's a 6 7 8 9 10 pounder👍🎣
Awesome episode!! Big bass!!
Give um the Helicopter Lure Roland !
Frog. Back up Senko. All right.
Love your excitement
👍😎
I'm 75 and I've watched Roland Martin since when even though we have never met. I would wager Roland with a plain depth finder would win a tournament against 29 young fisherman that have live imagining.
I consider Roland a national treasure!
Backup senko slays
Those are great looking bass. I'm happy to see you back at Okeechobee, Roland.
In my opinion if we take modern day electronics out of the equation, Roland is the best natural fisherman ever to walk the earth. He has the sixth sense. So connected to what the fish are doing.
I just bought a black spro popping frog…..this gives me confidence that i made a good decision, and inspires me to fish it.
Always amazing as Roland reels in one bass after another that would be the state record in my home state.
I love this man’s energy and appreciation of a big bass 💪🏻
He's soooo cool!!!
Somebody's lucky Grandpa 😁
I have to book a trip with him. That would be incredible!
That's the deal
