I was fishing shiners in Rodman Resevoir in 1975 and hooked and lost the biggest bass I’ve ever seen! It weighed 15.3 pounds! How do I know that? Watch this video to find out!

I hooked and lost the biggest bass I ever saw! It weighed 15.3 pounds!
What I love most about this story is that even by that point in Roland’s career, having caught probably dozens of 8-10lb bass, he was still beside himself about the possibility of landing a 15+ pounder and then felt absolute agony over losing it. I love watching the ol pros nowadays because they still, after decades of fishing, show so much excitability and passion for every bite they get! That’s the epitome of loving what ya do! #FishOn
Love the story ! LOL ! This made me very happy . Fishing King Mr Roland Martin .
Caught one 15 lbs about 25 years ago in Lake Pierce, Polk County Florida.. Caught her on a gold 14 ounce Johnson spoon with a white skirt… In thick pads in May..
Turned her loose..
Damn it woman!
that fish ment nothing to a man but that meant everything for Roland Martin he has passion and passion is a forever energy in the heart and mind
Keep the stories coming Mr. Martin they’re great

No denying when he literally pulled YOUR custom-made hook from that giant's mouth.
I used to get a little annoyed watching Roland sometimes. But man he's been doing this a long time. What a great life he's lived. Doing what he loves. Great story.
Morale of the story don’t bring woman fishing
