Roland Martin (born March 14, 1940) is a professional sport fisherman.
Angler-of-the-Year titles,[1] nearly 100 Top Ten finishes, and 25 appearances in bass fishing's world championship event, the Bassmaster Classic.
In a July 2005 survey for the "Greatest Angler", Roland Martin was voted second (to Rick Clunn), hurt by his lack of a Classic championship.
He is also good friends with fellow fishermen Bill Dance and Jimmy Houston, with the two appearing on his show multiple times.
He has been an able and enthusiastic spokesman for bass fishing, conservation, and the pursuit of the American dream for decades, generating a large following of fans.
