As Colin Moore noted in his blog this week at FLWOutdoors.com, Roland Martin, legendary competitive bass fishing angler and television personality is returning to competitive bass fishing with the FLW Tour Majors in 2012. He'll also be fishing on his home waters of Lake Okeechobee in the FLW Tour Open there next season.
Martin, now 71, will make for some interesting story lines as he competes against many of the sport's top young anglers, including Forrest Wood Cup champion, and son, Scott Martin. It will be interesting to see what Martin can do on tour next year, and there certainly were a lot of legends winning events in 2011 in competitive bass fishing with Paul Elias winning an FLW Tour Open on Guntersville, Denny Brauer winning a Bassmaster Elite Series on the Arkansas River, Shaw Grigsby winning a Bassmaster Elite Series in Florida and more.
Can Roland put on a George Foreman-like comeback tour in 2012. We are intrigued to see what he can do.
