MOBILE, Ala. - FOX10's Jason Smith sat down one on one with Roland Martin to talk about his fishing experiences in the Mobile area.

Roland is a professional sport fisherman.

Roland's website, www.FishingWithRolandMartin.com says, "Martin's BASSMASTER Tournament Trail career includes an unprecedented list of achievements. He holds the records for most tournaments won at 19 and most B.A.S.S. Angler-of-the-Year titles at nine. In addition, he has made 25 appearances in bass fishing's world championship event, the BASS Masters Classic. He also holds the record of 20, for 2nd place BASS finishes.

Bass fishing is the common thread of Martin's angling career by virtue of his early dominance of tournament fishing. In the early years of the sport, he commandeered the winner's circle the same way the New York Yankees reigned over Major League Baseball, the way the Green Bay Packers once owned the National Football League. Roland has expanded his fishing abilities over the years to include many types of fishing for both fresh and salt water angling."
