[@cameronballard9178]

I'm the one that shotgunned the beer with you in the video. Thanks for doing that man it was fucking awesome!

[@timcarter9146]

You shot gunned that thing like a bitch tbh lmao.

[@codycoffey9865]

Most people want a pic, having a beer with with badass character is much better

[@ehrenboatman2232]

Goat move lol 😆

[@stuartclarke4693]

That shot of the top 10 all on stage. Every jersey covered in sponsors.........then there's Ben with 402 🤣

[@15trucklt83]

It’s great. I thought the same thing.

[@MrDelmore34]

That will change im sure!

[@1jimif]

Shake N Bake!

[@598camaro4]

It will be covered soon..

[@pavichapin]

Most of those decals on the jerseys are for 15% discount on merchandise.

[@st.claireric4587]

Time for the Wizard Man to fish the Opens nxt year, Shake it N Bake it..

[@williamtennill6744]

Yes..with some black and miles..I enjoy it when he’s on there with Ben

[@jonahfinley]

Having the zark inbound on standby is an immediate guaranteed top 10 finish

[@DirkDigler12inch]

The awesome part is he doesn’t care about the sponsors he doesn’t need them to have to fish. He’s got his own following his own thing going on so he can shotgun a beer and have fun with the people and not worry about his image getting tarnished in the sponsors, leaving him.

[@geekedoutoutdoors6867]

Bro I have been watching you for years. Puts a tear s in my eyes seeing you compete and and being successful. Wish you best of luck and me and my boys will be routing for you in the classic

[@genemcdonald4430]

It may sound silly but I have been with so long I really feel a part of all of this. Great job SIR

[@Vintage-406]

Super cool to watch this and see your engagement with your fans! You are creating memories for all those that came to meet you!

[@Amelie-eh3jc]

Well done! The effort and passion are evident.

[@primetime1868]

That view from behind watching that big bait float thru the air like that is cool as hell. It's so cool to see Ben shut a bunch of cats up that do nothing but root against him.

[@right_around_the_corner]

He almost finished dead last on grand lake yesterday 😂😂

[@noahhaselwood]

​@@right_around_the_corner He did better than you did.

[@right_around_the_corner]

@@noahhaselwood hogwash, I live on this lake. He basically used most of edwin evers old spots from an old video.

[@noahhaselwood]

@@right_around_the_corner I guess that's why you have fished so many classics.

[@right_around_the_corner]

@noahhaselwood no need to fish any classic for money. I fish almost every day on Grand for fun. He didn't prefish the lake adequately. He misread the lake and instead probably relied on old videos for brushpiles. I actually watched him prefish the lake. He spent a lot less time on the lake compared to others. #facts

[@jameswalker5579]

ZAAAARRRRRK!!!!!!!!!!! Shake and bake, baby!!!!

[@SolidSum93]

Way to go Ben! Keep up the hard work and effort. Glad to see you killing it in your first elite series event!

[@williamtennill6744]

The tower of power 2.0!! Keep it going man! Good to see Lee in there 2 6th sense guys ..had privilege meeting guys like him and Matty to few others ..thanks for helping us all in the world ton and taking us on your adventures..glad to see u having a TON of success..I never doubted it !!!

[@myinfinitestate1586]

G'day Ben, to make the final day, finish in 5th Place overall, in your very FIRST BassMaster's Elite event, is absolutely freaking EPIC mate! Good onya Ben. Cheers from Western Australia 🇦🇺.

[@andybrode2507]

Epic!!! Don’t ever change, don’t ever stop!

[@davidc.8717]

Keep being you! Never change. Sign autographs, take pics, shotgun a beer…..and before you know it, half the crowd will be rocking the 402. From KZbinr to Bassmaster Elite. That’s an incredible story. Get to do what you love and get paid on two fronts for the content and the bass. Routing for you!

[@mloll1121]

8 am Tomorrow morning can’t get here soon enough AND you get a camera in your boat.. let’s Goooooo!!!!!

[@steveosterberg4191]

So cool Ben, congratulations.... Keep it going.... I remember watching videos where you were fishing and still working your sales job..... And then the video where you quit your job.... Just seems like yesterday...Rawk n Roe!!!

[@Fillet_Release]

Did I miss the anchor and crappie break getting ripped off the boat?!?!? Congrats on a top 10 on the first stop🎉

[@Fillet_Release]

Damn the spammer comment is gone😢. Was really hoping to get to know a him a bit lol

[@coreyellis5914]

Been watching Ben for years now.This guy is special.Good luck brother

[@johndeer9721]

Bubba bass that dam kid is destined to be a legend with a name like that

[@robfranke1]

Remember to christen the lake like you did first thing! Magic!

[@brandonsvoboda3761]

Badass content as always. Amazing fishing Ben. Amazing camera work.

[@codypridg9504]

Can't wait to watch you in the classic! Go get em!

[@joneilbes6421]

Another extremely well done video. Great work as always Ben and team! You guys rock. Way to be real with the fans. Kudos to all the autographs and meet and greets you do.

[@Everydayfishing]

Heck of a day fishing - also, it's awesome to see all the people coming out to support the sport. I hope more anglers can take your lead and make it a point to post fishing content!

[@leecanady6749]

Great footage. Keep catching em on tight lines!

[@Ringtail273]

Dave Mercer seems like such an awesome dude! I hope bassmaster and the anglers give him the recognition he deserves.

[@SmokyMountainFisher]

HUGE fan Ben! You killed it out there day 1 today! Some good bites and as the wind came in them hawgz started moving! Let’s go!!!

[@jonathanfonzer9473]

To watch you from the beginning until now is absolutely amazing!! Congratulations to you my bro!! Bring it home!!! Youuuuu bettttttt

[@MillaTK]

I grew up wanting to be a professional bass angler as a kid, but as I got older I stopped following the sport as much(I have always kept fishing). Watching your videos for years and seeing you get on the elite series has me so excited to watch. I am following all of the coverage and am anxiously awaiting the live coverage of the classic, I wish you all the best!

[@80884bpresley]

Awesome video man!!! Congratulations 🎉 see ya next time!!

[@ThisisHowieDewitt777]

Good luck Ben, He's there for the fans and humble. awesome

[@RyanShaw79]

Loved this video! I feel the electricity in the air! Congrats Ben!

[@beasting1983]

Ive noticed in the last several months you keep saying how terrible you have been at talking to the camera. I believe this is the next evolution of your channel. I've been watching for years, and even though you dont talk as much, what you say is just as impactful. Keep doing what you do and people will still be here to watch it.

[@justinortizfishin]

Congrats Ben !! You are doing great out there !!!

[@phillipsmallwood8359]

I’m pumped to see you get what you deserve. You have busted your tail to get where you are at . Look forward to seeing you get to the top maybe a spot on major leaving fishing .

[@brianladouceur6733]

Great job! Not many have ever done what you just accomplished! Have a great year my friend!

[@drewdavies1872]

The shot gun😂😂ben your a man of the people! Best of luck!

[@johnhenlen8421]

You Bet!!! Awesome job Ben!!

[@nathandowney813]

Dude, I can't stop smiling! I'm so happy for you! Keep living up to your potential! You Bettt!

[@johnlayman3298]

Awesome job so happy for you keep it going

[@barrygoyings4411]

Absolutely love these videos!

[@mitchdarra6199]

So SICK Ben!!! I have been disciplined and not looked at results and stayed out of the shop at my lake so I won't hear. Just trying to get to go on the adventure you are choosing to present to us here on KZbin and it's SO epic thus far! Can't wait for the next vid. Absolutely killing me. Good luck

[@johnbeavers351]

Awesome Stuff!!! GOOD luck tomorrow and this weekend at the classic! See you at the weigh in!!!

[@DustinDills-yf6uy]

Living your dreams and doing it well glad I've been fan and student on your channel since pretty much the beginning.

[@arvieoakes6546]

Hey dude I’m probably one of your most loyal mfr fans you can ask for.. I started following you last year ironically during the week of your win at Toledo Bend and have kept up with your success ever since! Unfortunately life has thrown me curve balls pretty much my entire life I’m 43 and are on dialysis 3 times a week and as you may wonder yes it does interfere with my fishing the way I would like to do.. and that’s fish for a living.. of course!! But in all honesty that doesn’t get to happen for me so instead I’ll pull for Milliken fishing and I’m good with that.. I’ve even got my Dad pulling for ya.. he’s been tournament fishing since the 70’s and does it well.. that’s who got me into it.. I draw only a small disability check but with the help of odd jobs I make it work.. so getting to where I’m going with this I plan to subscribe and help fund your journey on KZbin and support you Milliken fishing the best I can because it gives me great pleasure watching you fulfill a dream that many of us guys have ourselves.. GOOG LUCK my friend and hope our paths cross some day 🎣

[@gregdupree1640]

Great job Ben. Proud of you brother

[@jones1394]

THE MILLIKEN TRAIN IS ROLLING!!!!!!! YOU JUST BRING SMILES WHEN YOU FISH AND TALK TO THE CROWD. GO MILLIKEN

[@MrCaissed]

Awesome Ben! Great pattern change. I was yelling at my tv do the opposite tomorrow!!! Good luck you got this!

[@dontnonowuno9953]

"Cinderlla stoooory here at the Bassmaster, hes gotta bout 12 lber looking at his glide, oooh its in the boat !!Its in the boat! Hes done it folks!"

[@chrishampton8842]

Loved seeing all the interaction with the MFrs, very cool

[@ChiaTalks]

When u have fun, anything possible. Good stuff Ben

[@F.Ronnie]

Great video. Thank Ben.

[@TripEfishing]

Dude!! Awesome video man!! Good luck in the Classic man 🎣 🔥

[@ArmandoMorales325]

What a giant crappie!! That was easily the coolest catch 😂

[@deline8ed619]

Hope you’ve had a blast all week in Oklahoma for the Classic! Enjoy.!!!…and kill it these next 3 days! We’ll be watching.

[@Mjones8383]

I'm a Marshall for Smith lake in June, I hope so bad that I draw you, I want to learn how to be effective and efficient with my livescope and there's no better to learn from and have a good time doing it.

[@jessestyron3806]

Never a doubt, but congratulations anyways!! You're an absolute friggin legend!! Good shit as usual. DEAL

[@chadwright7614]

Congratulations. Well done.

[@peterpantaloneiii6503]

Keep on keeping on, Ben!

[@daviddarlingauthor]

Grats man! We are not surprised at your placement. You put the effort in, and get results. I'm also glad to see you taking the time for fans, shirt/hat signings, and even time to shotgun a beer!! That speaks volumes. BZ.

[@YakNfishNkc]

Congrats on making the top 10! That's awesome my man! It's all gravy from there.

[@DirkDigler12inch]

Crazy to think of this man almost drowned falling in freezing water and now he’s top 10 in his first elite series Stop truly amazing you’re an inspiration brother.

[@right_around_the_corner]

Almost finished dead last on grand lake

[@SumDood1]

Good luck today, Ben! Watching the tournament live this morning.

[@gollomontelongo1744]

It's crazy bro how exited u got us hell yea Ben!

[@brandtdales]

Way to go Ben, I think it's AWESOME !!!

[@strydershadow391]

Hell yeah! Great job getting into the top 10, I hope you smashed them the next day.

[@cedwalker5249]

This dude dope as hell that’s what’s up. Good luck

[@ryanvarner6520]

Awesome comeback!!

[@simplescales]

I've always loved fishing and have always wanted to compete at the top level, I'm 29, my goal is by time I'm 33 I can get myself a beautiful boat and hopefully by 35 I can get a chance to compete at the top level! You really are an inspiration man, thanks for being part of this fishing community!

[@randywunderlich6315]

Great tournament on the Bend!!!!! Good luck in the classic…..

[@user-lq1yb6uz1o]

Yeah Ben u live out a lot of our dreams on this channel. Proud of u. I knew u were gonna make the elites. U can see reel talent watching u fish. U have the instincts and that's the difference. I always grew up fishing everyday I live in Florida have caught a lot of big bass everybody I grew up with thought I would be pro. But unfortunately I made a couple mistakes and drugs entered my life and u can't afford tournaments and drugs. So when I see u. I always think what could have been good luck. Win the classic bud

[@williamharvey124]

Congrats brother, couldn't happen to a better guy.

[@rodneychandler82]

Well done buddy , Chase the dream 👏 😊

[@tomstclair961]

Hell yeah brother!! Wrecked em. Great job. Sunday should be a smash fest with them all moving to the bank. A little sight fishing extravaganza maybe. Good luck ,!! Your livin the dream bro. A lot of us tried hard .. For one reason or another it just never jelled and came together.. I've learned over the years!! When you're supposed to be walking on that path, no matter what it is in life!! It just falls into place effortlessly.. Im happy as crap for you Ben. Your gonna be great at it 💪💪💯. Man i have to also say that if i was in your shoes i would of chosen a big ol bass cat also. They look like they Are doing 80mph sitting still dont they?? Ive studied and researched them. But never rode in one yet. Are they really nice on the water running In the narlly stuff ??? They have that wide beam. Kinda like a Big O boat. I loved them when they first came out in the 80s. Anyway!! Wack tomorrow big dog. Were rooting for you. 🔥🙏🙏🇺🇸💯💪

[@JamiecoreyL]

You are my new favorite, love your attitude, personality, style an of course you a bad azz fisherman 👍

[@mikepatterson4320]

I love how awesome you are with the kids. Way to crush em !

[@graydoncarruth5044]

Dude! I remember watching the video when you announced you were quitting your job and doing YT fishing full time (don’t ask me exactly when that was, several beers since then😂). And now the entire journey to get to this. Awesomely done!!!

[@paulferguson7432]

Ben happy for you man wish I could be there . Great day for you . Try and hammer them tomarrow. Same stuff try your glid baits again you will get them to bite . Awesome job man .

[@nathanielsams6552]

[@meldahl28]

Thanks for the ride!

[@shadowsmith734]

Heck of a job brother! I know you are sponsored, but it's really cool to see a boat and jersey that can't be bought.

[@ldonovan892]

Congratulations on the Top 10. It's been awesome watching you through your journey. Keep up the great work. Tite lines.

[@MrTHARP6]

Inspiration for a lot of people. We see you Ben.

[@256bassfishing]

I think come tourney time for the Classics tomorrow is gonna set up to your style of fishing. I think there's going to be fish moving in to the shallows and still staging deep on brush to move shallow. It might be big bait time when feeding windows allow. Go get them, Ben!

[@trevorharper9587]

Ben I love the videos and content. I only wish navigating which video in which order I should watch them was a little easier. Maybe put day 3 event 1 in the title? Either way I love the content. Love the story. Keep it up bro!
