It All Makes Sense Now - Road to the Classic Ep.18 (20/20 Lake Hartwell)
This mistake cost me $42,000 and a chance to go to the Bassmaster Classic. These 20-20’s allow me to break down what I did wrong.

its all about the hardware man
Had a 6 lb bass swallow my wake bait on day 2 and broke me off 10 feet from the boat. Would’ve put me in round 3.
I think it would be cool to know what you’re throwing for bait when you’re out fishing the tournament. It’s a hard ask but would you be able to show the camera what you’re using and give a brief explanation as to why. It’s fun watching you switch between baits but half the time I have no idea what you’re catching the bass on.
I don’t know what you need to qualify for the elites, and the classic, but I’m praying you do! You seem to do life right, you teach, your a pros pro, a god man, a family man. I’ve been here watching you for a long time, and I can’t wait to see you raise the trophy of all 🏆, and finish the unfinished business! 🙏🏻 good luck, god bless
These 20/20 video’s have priceless tournament info. Just how you setup a strategy and so many things that could really benefit even some experienced tournament anglers. I think if people are skipping or not watching these 20/20’s they are really missing some of the best stuff! When the pro’s talk I make sure I listen. I have learned so many things from the guys that are the best. Thanks Scott for doing these video’s.
“It’s a biggin” needs to be on a merch shirt! Famous words of Scott Martin, keep up the great work!
Hey bud, I want to tell you what an inspiration you are. I tried to hold on. But... Anywho, I want my last message to be to you. Lol, tag your it. I thunk you are what everyone should be. Kind, cool, great dad. I assume a good husband/provider. Stuff I never did right. Sure, Asst. VP at the bank. Working for Dan Gilbert all that. But you sir, you can hold your head high. Higher than most. Grats Scott!
Thank you Sir!
Is Billy rentable?? Having hip surgery Monday and need a Billy for stuff during recovery. I only need him for oh. Five months. If I need to put a deposit down then cool. Would like a month to month deal.
He may go for that..lol
Man I got to know what that bait was you we’re crushing them on that spinning rod with!!
No BASS does not need participation Trophies. Lol
I have 3 smc hats and haven't had a shout-out yet
I’m shouting. I need one. A free one. I deserve it. Seriously. 👍🏻
Miss the evinrude
I miss you challenging other professional anglers Scott. Still think your channel is awesome, but just miss some of the old days man
Your in it to win it and your winning in my book great job keep the tournament videos coming Thanks Again
Comments.........
You got a stick to your confidence in and you should’ve stayed on the same game plan of day one but still did very good better lock next tournament
Scott, you did beat Upshaw. He was a great sport about it all. You still did a great job considering the environment.
Always enjoy the 20/20's. Great info and incite on your tournament. Congrats to you and Andrew on great finishes and best of luck the rest of the year!!! I need to get me one of those Favorite spinning rods! That 7'2" sounds like one I would use a lot!!! Take care, stay safe and God Bless!!!!
Yoga woulda slowed you down on day 2🤔 Lol jk ,way to roll with what you got dealt!!!👊
Hi Scott Herman here from South Africa , what jerkbait did you use you were winding it like a crankbait it also looks its got a metal blade?
Remember when you were little: 1st Place = Gold 2nd Place = Silver 3rd Place = Bronze 4th Place = Honourable Mention Ribbon 5th+ = Participation Ribbon ; ) Scott, it doesn't matter what place you get in a tourney...you are GOLD to us all the time! BAM!!!
👊🏼👊🏼
I'm not a fan of B.A.S.S. but they can totally redeem themselves if they give Scott an automatic bid to the elites. How can they call themselves the elites with the only elites being Feider, Palahniuk and Welcher?
I would love an outright invite..but I really want to earn it. I’ll be there one day
the D BAG !!!!!! LOL no dude you cant call it the D BAG !!!!
How could someone purchase your boat after you get another one for the next year?
Great video Scott 👍, You have definitely a great group of traveling buddies watch all you guys videos
Congratulations on the top 5 Scott! That should have solidified an Elite invite right?! Loving the vids. Great content plus y'all jokesters have been cracking me up!!
fantastic fishing learning video. your video will help us to catch the fishes.. 😊
Awesome video.. You will get there.
Scott did you throw a prop/spy bait any on the spin rod?
Why are you and Bradley Hallman so scared of the competition in MLF ? It is clearly where the top anglers are. Now that Vandam , wheeler , and Lee have left the elite series the Classic is not that big of a win. Go to MLF and let’s see what you got
Scott Martin it’s embarrassing watching you return fish to the water the way y’all do in your videos. No need to throw the fish back. Return them correctly so we can all catch them in the future. No need to make a fish do triple flips for entertainment. Good luck
I am not worried about what “I’ve got” I am worried about what drives me and Bassmaster is that for me. I like the 5 fish format and the way the game is played and has been played for years.
Scott let’s go man! Love watching your pursuit of making the Elites. Thanks 🙏
Better cover that Evinrude up with a Yamaha in the background lol..
It would be so awesome seeing you on the Elite series.
Great video. Scott Martin for President!!!!
Great lighting
A trophy for fifth place what’s next give everybody a participation trophy.
5th place out of 175+ incredible professional anglers is worthy of a trophy. FLW has been doing it forever, rightfully so. Anybody who makes the cut in an BASS open has worked their tail off to get there and to execute. I know the money is their reward but something for the trophy case is irreplaceable. "Money gets spent, hardware lasts forever" - Chris Jones (FLW Weigh-in announcer)
Another great video! Good luck in your tournaments! I'll be waiting on the videos.
The tournament videos are intense.
Today's the day Scott....its my daughter's bday(she is 12) can we get a happy bday? It would make my day. .....i mean her day.... Bahahahhah
Hey Scott I appreciate all the tips and techniques i wanna go to ockachobee one day and stay at the fishing lodge you guys have my son wants to catch big unz.
That's all right still got time to win one.......
When you bringing Brandon Back on the Channel?
Great job on the video and the tournament.
Staying in the moment is a game changer in life no matter what you're doing, the mind is hard to keep in that moment though.
Good luck Scott, I know you’ll win it(btw this series was fire)
The D bag 😂😂😂
You looked like you were desperate on day to
Love the series brother....you did your best right? Well hell.....that's what matters!
doesn't kentucky lake have skip jack herring? also great job scott.
Scott Martin ah ok, all I know is them skipjack make excellent catfish bait. Lol
Totally different
Who won the giveaway
Too much lighting behind you with those screens on.
Dammit Macoy!
Congratulations on 5th place you can only go up from there. Great video.
Just skip to 3:45, your welcome
Scott thank you so much for breaking everything down for us. Most of us here are living our dream through you. This is as close as I'll ever get to professional fishing. Thanks so much to SMC, GOOGAN BAITS, P LINE, BASSMASTERS, YAMAHA, FAVORITE RODS AND SO MANY OTHERS.👊 BAM!
@Scott Martin dude you're just amazing!
👊🏼👊🏼
what was the bait you caught them on the spinning rod thanks scott.
Jackall Riser 007
I love all the sponsors that you have!! My dream one day is to be just like you and be the best Fisherman and Fish tournaments. Awesome Video Scott!
I’m new to your channel Scott, I only recently started watching all of these KGup fishing channels. I grew up 8 miles from lake Guntersville and spent a lot of days on the water up until I was 28 years old, I started a new job in Birmingham Al and moved away from the lake a short time later! I have recently moved back to my home town and my passion for fishing is stronger than ever, hardly a day goes by without me wetting a hook! I grew up watching your dad, “SON” and now to be able to follow your career pretty much daily has been a lot of fun and extremely helpful for my fishing. Can’t wait to see where your career is headed, keep up the good work!
Thank you very much I will be at Lake Neely Henry for the Bassmaster you should come by and watch the weighin
New to your channel.. Live here in ft Lauderdale thanks for these videos. Lake okeechobee has been better after watching your videos, Hillary’s ,and your pops vids.. keep grinding I have faith you can make the b a s s classic....
The second day of redemption you did well but im sure it felt like your first tournament a lot of pressure to make the cut.. but like I said gotta have fun.. deep breath stay claim Your a legend just like your Dad.
What bait did you throw on that spinning rod? Watched your other videos and saw that you caught a bunch on it
That’s a beautiful fishing video
How do I get that Yamaha smc hat
Where can I find that color of Zara Spook @scottmartin
Saltwater one
Scott what bait were you fishing on your spinning rod?
Fish on S. M. Great serious Mr. McCoy! Is he the REAL McCoy? Only time will tell. Stay tuned right here on the best bass fishing channel on KGup!! YeeHaw!!!!
Keep doing what you're doing and the trophies will come. SMC is awesome.
I got a tournament November 7th at hartwell for my schools fishing team
Scott Martin is hands down just the best. That's it, nothing else to say.
👊🏼
Loving the tournament videos!!!!
Sweet spots on my home lake, not far from crystal springs shoot, love them humps and that hammer spinning rod does look really good! Have to admit I want one for my rod locker!
Hey Scott! Any chance you got room for a Co-Angler next year? Or even a 1v1 the next time you’re in Texas 👍🏾🎣
How come you never talk to Brian latimer anymore?
What color Riser was that?
One of you best talks 👏 made me feel I was the only person there
Thank you!! 👊🏼
Congrats on the great finish!!
The white screens behind Scott kinda drown him out too much, makes it look dark. Keep up the good fight Scott!
Agree..
SHO NUFF !
😃
Jus throwing it out there d bag is not the name to throw out there...😐... there another D BAG name out there!!!? More like D Ding Bag! Let go scotty pick it up!!
I never herd from ya when I called your folks marina to tell ya your pickup had a headlight out almost a month a ago I even emailed ya. I was hoping to get some of that free tackle you were given away
I wish you well the rest of the season. You/videos are amazing. I think you put to much pressure on yourself, you don't screw off, so just be your best b/c your one of the greats. The sport is getting harder due to tech/social media, so I think a lot of dark horse/niche specific wins will occur. You should be very proud of your fifth place. If you really think it will help: send Brandon to scout your up coming tourney destinations with his spinnerworm .... he he. Just kidding that's probably illegal. Brandon's camera skills/video gaming are birdie compared to his wonky fishing skills, which are piss your pants hilarious. Please don't respond: Fish, Prep, and Make the Cut!!!!!!!!!!
If you had to give one tip to become pro what would it be
Fish challenging fisheries
What’s some good lures to use on Okeechobee right now
Spinner bait for sure
How much did u win?
9,800 or so
Scott I'm am big fan of yours. Just wanted to say keep your head up and charge forward you will make the elites and the classic
👊🏼
Is there a reason why there's so many dead fish near greenpond boat landing?
Not sure
you were so close at Hartwell. tbh i lost 300 bucks betting on you lol..........
Dang man!!
I like the journey you have going. Keep up the good work. The elites are calling your name
Working hard
I need to find some more favourite rods here in Ontario
Thanks, Scott! I so appreciate your heart and care for the sport for sure, for the fans, but especially for your family! I really admire you for doing SO MUCH, working SO hard, and puting in the time, all while keeping the Lord #1 in your life and loving your family so well! I have gained so much valuable information from you over the years. Your passion, energy, genuine love of life, and posititivity is refreshing, especailly in this day and age of negativity! Keep it up and know you are making a big difference in many lives, especialy during these unprecidented times we live in...and NOT just time on the lakes. Never forget God has you! Praying for you and your family!
Thank you so much..🙏🏼🙏🏼
Scott, I just bought a decked system after seeing it in your video. I just used it for my fishing trip to WI and it was great. All the stuff I always kept in my truck in totes like tools, jack, and spare hub are out of the way and it freed up my truck bed. Keep the great videos coming and good luck!
@Scott Martin Will do when I get my truck back from the body shop. You should get credit.
That’s awesome!! Post a picture on IG or Facebook and tag me in it..I’ll show Decked.
Ok. Now this episode is basically the how to of tourney fishing. What an awesome video for anyone heading into their first or even their 20th tourney. From baits to weather to game plans. So dang awesome. All I know is I’ll be keeping a copy of this video on my portable vid player. In the boat. It’s like having a guide book to bass. Your GOING TO SLAY THE ELITES. you belong there will get there and I’m sticking around for the rise.
Thanks so much!!
Really enjoy your videos and hope you can make the Classic and then on to the Elites, good luck!
I agree, Macoy killed it
@Scott Martin 👊🏻 back atcha boss
👊🏼
SCOTT, I live on the lake your dad won on to qualify him for the first Bassmaster Classic, the Ross Barnett Reservoir. It would be cool for this ol Army vet to fish with you on it to kind of pay respects to your dad in your road to your first classic.
@Scott Martin whenever you're ready hit me in IG @gaar_outdoors
That would be cool:)
Cheers Scott as an Aussie I'm hoping you can get up there and fish against our boy Carl Keep it it up mate
👊🏼
Awesome bag that is really nice for keeping fishing stuff and that spinner rod is nice to because it don't break I no how that is when you break a rob because my dad bought these trout rods that he said that are nice and don't break until one day we went trout fishing and my dad caught this big trout and the rod broke in 3 peaces and we had to get the fish in by hand by pulling the line in. And I think you did good in the tournament some of them fish that you caught were huge so I think you should get a trophie for 5th place because you did awesome and That will add on to you awesome trophie collection.
I think I am going to just make one..lol
very anxious to see how you do on neely henry, i live on lay the oldest in the coosa chain, and the best of the coosa, neely is 2nd best, it will take 16lbs a day to win avg, hopefully it will cool down more and the bass will finally move into the sloughs chasing shad, they are super scattered right now, and takes 30 to 40 places a day to get 16lbs, and the most extreme, of extreme junk fishing, as many rods on front deck as you can get without triping over them all, i suspect the extreme northern or southern part of the lake will be the best , and early morning or when pulling water during midday , they will school on key points at the mouth of creeks, that is just a hunch, anxious to see how you break it down, and best of luck, i hope u fish lay lake on dec 3 , so i can meet you, and maybe smack talk a little......lol.........anyway absolutely awesome video, and great how you analyzed what you did , it definitely help me !
@Scott Martin yes im jay haughton on facebook feel free to message me anytime, we can go bust a few on lay if you come up before that, i sent you im on fb,
Thank You!! Do you have a Facebook or IG?
But what was that tiny crankbait looking thing you were catching those fish on with the spinning rod? That was the deal.
Hello Scott! You're funny man. The correct pronunciation is "Herr-ing" bro...but that's ok dude! You say it however the heck you want to. You're Scott "FREAKING" Martin for cryin out loud! I think the "D-bag" is pretty cool too, and the name you gave it...LOL...I can't help but to laugh cuz everyone knows d-bag is short for douche bag! Lol. Anyhow, CONGRATS on takin 5th on Hartwell! 42G's in your pocket and good points to move you into 1st place in AOY Eastern Opens standings! Nice work dude! 👊BAM!!👊 Good luck on Cherokee and Neely Henry!
👊🏼
How many times do you say the word DUDE in a show??
@Scott Martin I will, next video. Lol
Dude You should count and let me know..lol
