Tarpon injures Roland Martin

[Tim_T]

It seems that Roland got hurt fighting a tarpon and is going to have surgery.

Ouch 90 degree break of the ankle in the opposite direction......

Poor Roland. Serves him right for tying to catch a 100 pound tarpon with a pocket fishing shotgun rod & reel. Maybe Roland needs to invent and promote the shotgun tarpon rig so he can handle the bigguns...

OH SON!!!!!

OH SON!!!!!

He thinks he's big........Son..... Your right on cue Elnut......

I see Roland getting a sponsor for boat shoes that grip when fighting the big one.

I'll take the first Air Rolands as soon as they come out, then I can take my shotgun pocket fisherman, tie on a helocopter lure and catch the bigguns....SON!!!!!

good luck on that fast recovery, I did a 180 dgree break two years ago the 3rd of July and still can not walk right shattered the tiba the fiba and ankle 6 screws 2 plates and one year later all of that had to be removed due to complications man Roland good luck son hope your Xray doc doesn't hold that camera too close to the bone to make it look bigger than it really is lol, but honestly good luck man and thanks for being one of the guys who made fishing what it is today,it's like a drug, expensive as all get out and we can't live with out it

Whats up with you guys? I hardly ever watch ANY fishing shows except those by the Linders.I'm always coming across pleas for prayers for one thing or another, and most responses are positive, just cause the guy has a life we would all love to have, dosn't mean we have to poke fun at him.If some guy here asked for help for hang nail surgery, many people would fall over themselves wishing him well.He got hurt FISHING, anyone here fish?

might have some remorse for him if he wasn't an arsehole

Met him, Larry Nixon, Doug Hannon, Mark Davis and few others at a Mega Bucks in Leesburg, Florida many years ago and he was a real rear end. Not much use for him since then...
