One of the best teachers I  never had.

Roland, I've been watching you fish for more than 30 years. You sir, are my hero.

Roland Never knew you were an Army veteran. Navy guy here. Thanks, for sharing. I have been watching you on Bassmasters since we came back from Iran in 1980. Fished as a kid with my dad, but stopped in my teens through my enlistment. Bassmasters got me back to fishing, and I've been ever since. My favorite picture is my daughter headed into her dorm freshman year with a fishing pole in each hand. Thanks for all the years!

Roland, I have been watching you for as long as I can remember. Literally all my life. Thank you sir, for all that you do for us!

Roland thanks for helping with the knots greatly appreciated

I grew up watching your TV shows and could not wait for them to come on. You are truly a legend sir.

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.

Here's another old guy that appreciates your fishing wisdom.  Keep them coming.

This is one of the best knot videos EVER!

One old guy who knows what Martin knows about fishing works. Old Michigan Fisherman 🤠.

I grew up watching and admiring this fella.  Still do and I'm in my 40's now!  Thanks Roland!

I’m 56 and grew up watching Roland on TV. Glad he’s on You Tube now. He seems timeless and doesn’t look old.😊

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.

I`m 80 now & used the clinch for years but knew it wouldn`t use it for braid  so I learned the Palomar and I clicked this video just to start glad I did

Thanks for the do not clinch knot portion. I been using that forever. Never realized this.

I grew up watching You and Bill Dance , you guys taught me how to fish. Thank You I still learn from you today. God Bless 🙏

Hats off to Roland for fishing for a living, shooting and reloading for a hobby. Then sharing knowledge...

Roland, I'm soon to be 74 years old, so you can imagine how long I've admired you.  Much obliged for the tips, my old friend!  🤠

WHAT AN AWSOME HUMBLE MAN PAYING IT FORWARD THX GOD BLESS

as Roland said, I’m all about that Palomar knot. that’s literally the only knot I tie. whether it’s braid or flouro and it’s never failed me. I do get kind of worried when i’m tying on big swimbaits, but it hasn’t let me down.
