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!

Love your excitement
Frog. Back up Senko. All right.
Give um the Helicopter Lure Roland !
Awesome episode!! Big bass!!
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👍🎣
Can someone get this man a new scale? Or some batteries…. Jesus, the scales never work
I'm spending 2-3 hours on the lake catching nothing very frustrated
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
Oh yeah we gotta weigh him! 😏
That’s a NICE big hog leg. Liked
"Cushit" it's called a Cushit
Wit0h all the fishing you do, how often do you have the drags on the reels serviced?
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.
Blitz lures, buzz frog is my favorite. They can’t resist the flipping legs .
He’s the best of the best!
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!
Would do anything to fish with Roland for a day 😢 true legend.
Nice video!
that had to be 10 lbs
Is he fishing with his son, or does he just call everyone Son?
Love your excitement, still but I agree nothing more thrilling than trophy bass,or even smaller, on a frog! Stay after them Roland!
All the big fish through the years, and Roland still gets excited. Gotta love it son.
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.
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!! 🙂
I like your Rolex
You were on em
If you don't have a working scale, take an accurate length measurement and use a look up table.
Good upload thanks Roland! Live action! Son!
Wish there were fish like that in New England and if there are… I can’t find ‘em
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,,
Nice Henry Ford reference 🤙🏻
I would love to fish with him so much Knowledge you could learn!
use your celebrity and get them to stop spraying/killing all of the lakes in florida Roland! its criminal!!
Step 1: move to Florida lol
Working on my top water game as we speak 😎
He says you can use any color frog as long as it is black…why should it be black? What makes it work better?
As a kid I used to watch Roland Martin on TV with my dad back in the late 80's and early 90's. Brings back a lot of found memories with my dad as he's no longer here. Thanks for all the great times.
I would love to go fishing with you Roland.
