Roland Martin and his First Year on Tour

At ICAST (2014) this year I was pleasantly surprised to be invited to dinner with the Yamamoto staff along with Roland Martin, his wife Judy and Walt Reynolds. I was even more surprised when I was seated next to Roland. It would be my time to talk to him about his early career – most importantly his first year on tour. We talked at dinner and at the end scheduled a time to video an interview the next day about his first year on the Bassmaster tour – 1970.

That year Martin would place second in the first ever AOY points race. What muddled things up was Martin missed an entire event. I wanted to talk with Martin about his first year on tour. The interview below is exactly that. I hope you enjoy
