Just get some corn rows, that will really fuck em up 😂

[@astrophysicistguy]

I think it's likely that you ended up miscounting vs one escaping. Running at 60 mph if a fish jumps and pushes the lid up enough to escape the fierce of the 60 mph wind would have completely pushed the lid open & it would have stayed open making it obvious what had happened. This is one reason guys use those cull tag thingy systems so you can never lose track of the number of fish you have ...

[@cross_fire_]

Looking forward to wheeler, it’s fishing different. They killed all the grass so I’m assuming the fish will be deep in the ledges. I was there a few weeks ago and caught a few. Had to slow it down and fish a tube off some points, I bet they were transitioning to the middle. Anyway, I’m sure you’ll find them. I may make the trip up to my camp to check it out and maybe even drop the boat and follow a few around, just hope the wind doesn’t blow because that place is line the Great Lakes when there is wind!!

[@angiespencer4156]

You must be getting ready to gain a lot of weight,because the way you’re fishing now is the only next big thing I can think of! Come on Ben,I’m a huge fan watching score tracker every day every tournament.this will just make victory that much sweeter!!! Get onboard the 402 express let’s hope you do well in the next one 😊

[@deanleslie2725]

Ben how frustrating! I’ve done something similar to that during a tournament I came back to my boat after weight in and found my fifth fish still in my live well 🤦🏻‍♂️ don’t let it get to you my brother… you’re doing great love your videos and content and the way you mix your career with family keep it up my friend

[@bryantdodd6636]

All I will say about Ben is this guy is doing it his way and his way only keep living the best life my man 🤘🤘

[@pitcher-od4iw]

Maybe you should have used a braided hair jig or better yet, a mullet bait! LOL Keep the faith, Ben, even the once mighty Nebraska Cornhuskers are going through a rough patch right now, but it is only temporary. We are all pulling for you, Ben. Keep chuckin' and windin' and they will eventually bite, bro.

[@tonypinckney5957]

Dumping your fish on the floor like that is douche bag move Ben!

[@pastmasters9591]

Totally agree

[@Prime_Operon_Outdoors]

Seems such would be a code of conduct violation: "Anglers participating in any B.A.S.S.-sanctioned event shall observe this code of conduct and the applicable rules for the specific event in which they are participating. Anglers shall, at all times, conduct themselves in a professional manner that demonstrates integrity, honor and respect toward fellow competitors, tournament staff and the general public and does not reflect unfavorably on B.A.S.S., its members, officers or representatives, tournaments or sponsors. Anglers are frequently in the public eye and are considered role models by young people; therefore, it is imperative that tournament competitors demonstrate good sportsmanship in fishing. Sportsmanship is defined as fair play, respect for opponents and polite behavior while competing in the sport. (i) Following are examples of unacceptable behavior by competitors in B.A.S.S. events that will be cause for penalties as outlined in this document... • Displays of anger and displeasure for reasons related to fishing competition where members of the public, including other anglers, spectators and the media, are present. " This kind of action should not be considered a role model for young people and would "reflect unfavorably on B.A.S.S" Just my opinion. Everyone has bad days but at least don't put this kind of stuff on KZbin or other media. Again just my opinion. Wishing all the best in the future but have to act like a champion even when the cards don't fall your way.

[@cryptocreek1557]

True he seems to handle and let them go without care for the fish.

[@baja1ab]

💯 loser move 👎🏻

[@Getup7131]

No class

[@michaeleschen5702]

Remember don't forget the wacky worm plastic. Throw on bank depending on vegetation especially cloud cover will make bass strike.

[@arvieoakes6546]

Glad to see that you don’t let the haters get to you!! If i thought by chance that me wearing a dress in a tournament would be what it took for me to have spot on the Elite’s then bigolly id wear a pretty pink one..lol

[@aaronenglish8767]

That sux brother! Those braids screwed you up! Lol. Keep on diggin and you'll be good!

[@desert-timber-outdoors6577]

It’s the slumps man, let the bad days go! Don’t let it get to you…. You’ll be back soon, happens to all the greats!

[@pedrovasquez3103]

My MAN!!! You still putting the story together and it’s amazing! Chapters in the book for sure 🌲💪🏽🌳. Keep’em cummin

[@randyd7976]

You always fail to succeed and learn from those failures to become better and successful. Confidence breeds success and you will overcome this and only get stronger from it.

[@TheClay101eve]

The people talking about you dumping the bass out being “bad form”… news flash *we’re all allowed to have bad days* As far as the not caring for the fish on release… these people must not realize how insignificant it truly is compared to what they go through naturally. Keep up the good work brother!

[@nathanielgay3]

❤ it’s time to really dial in and send it ! You can do it!

[@anthonydetweiler5216]

Dang need to dial it in the rest of the year! We are pushing for ya! Huge mistake tho

[@guyfoscone3193]

Keep up the bad Karma. You can tell a lot about a person by seeing how they treat other living things. Also want to point out that BASS doesn't allow nets, but you can boat flip bass all day onto the carpet and evidently dump fish in the boat because your upset? What a world. 🤦‍♂

[@smithcccc]

The end got me😂😂

[@hankvoit9686]

Keep your head up and lines wet you got this brutha!

[@BadersBassin]

The braids go CRAZZZZYYY😂

[@michaeleschen5702]

Different areas and barometric locations Different response. Especially when the fish has a headache. But the lateral line never lies and instinct.

[@actright52]

maybe you need a FFFC...ya know, a forward facing fish counter...Bahhhhhhahahahahahaaa. All jokes aside, the clips with your daughter are precious bro.

[@jamesfowler7039]

So you had a misjudgements. Everyone has them most are behind the scenes and never seen in public. You choose to be out on public display for which we are grateful. One misstep is not going to make the whole season. You have plenty of water still to cover. Put you head back in the game and get them next stop. Keep being Ben and fish hard brother.

[@justinhoward7317]

“You need more than cutting your hair my friend” 💀😂

[@unorec1983]

I want to see Ben out on the lake with Coach Rhule. Would be interesting to see that combo

[@michaeleschen5702]

Hook in the middle. Red hooks and green with red Florence flakes. Triggers them some how yes. Nebraska boy.

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

I love all the fishing tips he’s getting.

[@afroman91794]

Rocking those braids.

[@CB4basser1]

The ol fish dump 😂

[@jcrow530]

The boat wrapped with Decisely just casually idled through your spot.

[@mlyness100]

Harsh. Keep your head up though. Your story isn’t over yet. You got that plot armor

[@cotyhiggins]

You dumping those fish in the floor absolutely sent me 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@thegoats20]

I like the braids bro, hell yeah. I rock both if I need my hair out my face.

[@ChrisMcIntee]

wasnt expecting that one, live and learn.

[@blanekopp7339]

Stay positive bro you didn't wait all this time to fall apart now. YOU GOT THIS!!!

[@Hayes_Henderson_Outdoors]

This would be great for the next season you should shave your head and for every cut you make you should let it grow but if you miss a cut you have to shave it again this is just and idea I think it would be hilarious 😂😂 love the vids been following you on bassmaster

[@jameswoodcock8463]

Get your mind right! You earned the right to be there!!!! Have fun and get it done!

[@funkofan4203]

I have never understood the see a man catch a fish throw what he is throwing pattern! Best way to get out fished every time.

[@longhair42906]

I rock a man bun every day, really don't care what anyone has to say. You keep doing you homie.

[@matthewwar135]

Braids are absolutely electric

[@jesseboyden3119]

The braids go harddddd

[@user-pn4gg3kj5p]

Forget the haters. It's your hair, Rock It. Chin up! The best part of victory is remembering just how freek'n hard it was to get there. YOU GOT DIS. GO GET EM!

[@jonathanherford3323]

I hope you can have humility about it brother. I also hope you cut that hair and keep your chin up. Your work ethic is awesome. Nothing bad you might say about yourself, or the length of your hair defines you though. I think you would really make a comeback of attitude if you cleaned it up and chopped it off. I hope the best for you sir.

[@genemcdonald4430]

If you don’t have days like this u make it look way to easy

[@Bassmaster1256]

What does the "402" stand for?

[@joshuanorton1806]

His are code in Nebraska

[@codyphillips977]

Dude I had such a pit in my stomach when I realized what happened.. fuckkkk

[@kentuckytrapper780]

Catch'um up Ben...

[@rickhoeflinger3251]

Love the braids. Man buns not so much. Really enjoy the videos. Quality stuff

[@floridasaltlife]

No doubt, now he knows

[@jogo10rivas84]

Good luck braids let’s go

[@jimoconnor8597]

Pretty sad to see anglers come on here just to comment on/enjoy a person's honest mistake. Definitely says something about the character of a person that would take the time to kick a dude when he is down. Probably the same a-holes that said Ben could not make the Elite series. Haters always gonna hate, that's for sure.

[@ericjames209]

New GEN fishing... Relying on electronics instead of thinking like a big fish...

[@truthsetmefree4073]

The pigtails are killer bro… u already won.

[@JohnC34344]

Damn that sucks bro

[@msg2myson1]

Pulling for you Ben. Hopefully Alabama treats you better and you catch them like we all know you can. #402

[@mattressesunderwater]

Thanks for bringing along the ups and downs bro! Go wreck em in Alabama!

[@cross_fire_]

I think it’s going to be a tough stretch. Wheeler was on the cone up last year and then the tva killed the grass. I still caught a few two weeks ago but it’ll be completely different when they get there, smallmouth should be a player on the bluff walls, largemouth on the ledges and a few shallow fish.a tube was the player two weeks ago but that spro little John dd chartreuse and blue will be good in June. Smith Lake just sucks in my opinion but I’m not good at deep clear water, I figure ffs will be a player and anyone good with northern fish will be fine but the weights will be very low.

[@slabbusterrtr7690]

Ain't it amazing how easy it is when you in the moment and culled a ton and if your struggling some what.. how easy it is to forget how to count to 5 ?? Dude I have did it several times lucky I'm always over ......so far it's easier than you think to mess up i know

[@Trentwebbfishing]

A dude commenting another dudes hair sounds pretty👬.

[@JohnClarke-kz2od]

A talented angler with no regard for care of a natural resource.

[@Whyflyfishingsucks]

Correct

[@RUF33OH]

Please explain how the thumbnail has anything to do with your video?

[@muthafukajones1513]

That’s what I was waiting for 😂

[@caseysaunders2137]

that was a big gator bro

[@AZAngling]

Shave it!

[@Ehtizan-Editor-002]

Hey Milliken Fishing, I just watched your video and I must say it's really helpful and well made. I was wondering if I could help you design your thumbnails for better CTR? Wanna try out a free one?

[@user-hh5ij7em4l]

Oh no 4 fish instead of 5😢

[@paulenglish1741]

The next big thing can't catch a limit.....WOW!

[@Firedude-Matt]

You obviously didn't watch the whole video

[@jimoconnor8597]

Stupid comment...

[@paulenglish1741]

Sure did

[@jimoconnor8597]

He definitely caught a limit IF you watched the video. He didn't weigh in a limit...

[@big1bass]

I have done the exact same thing.

[@user-is2yr3uz6p]

Next time man your still the goat 402 all the way

[@christophershelton1735]

We all can’t be winners all the time. You’re still a hammer.

[@dropjems8105]

Rockin Man buns ain't dude activity's.

[@FunkE.Fisherman]

Tough to watch brocephus. But don’t give the olds any ideas. Next think you know they will want all the rookies to drop their limits to 4 fish “ they took our jobs!!!”

[@dropjems8105]

Der terk er joobs

[@PasSpareTime]

Maybe a world record for pigtails, but not a great look. Clean cut Milliken might just make a comeback. Bald is beautiful

[@squishypush6032]

Bihhh, you wish you had hair at all 👨‍🦲

[@5rods5reels29]

If you aint having fun you are losing

[@DirkDigler12inch]

Man, that’s rough only having four fish. You’re never gonna hear the end of that !! And people aren’t gonna like you dumping those fish like that. I hope you don’t start doing really bad at these events and just spiraling out of control because you have so much pressure and expectations on you. You literally are introduced as the next big thing so try to keep your head on your shoulders and learn how to count! Jk mfing fan

[@jasonlong3929]

Been pretty rough stretch last few tournaments time to turnnit around!!!!!! #402nation

[@graymanner007]

Bro your personality is stellar

[@garysanderford1572]

Don’t worry about what everyone else thinks just keep doing what you do and that’s catch fish Mofo

[@jessestyron3806]

DEAL 💥. Wut up Ben, Slaw, and Mfers!! Wanna give a shout-out to my son on his Sunday limit of 12.24! He won his team ( him and his cuz) a hunnid bucks!!! Fck Yeah son!! You always make me Proud! Keep Rippin 🎣💥👊🏻

She is so cute.

[@jefferyluffman9237]

Stop saying the Lord’s name in vain you might do better.

[@clintsigg9156]

Why’d you dump the fish like that smh

[@The_Bass_Stunters]

Just win 1 blue trophy bro. The rest will disappear

[@justintime2031]

Live scope not working?wtf

[@muthafukajones1513]

We get it bro. You’re a broke bank fisherman who takes advice from terrible anglers like Randy. Don’t you have some life’s you can paint with lipstick

[@waynelagarde7956]

Cut that hair. 😂

[@summerhipple3629]

Lmao i love it. Maybe a braided bun next

[@BassinFun]

What kind of man comments on another man’s hairstyle? People get a life.

[@adzoutnabout8666]

Maybe trim the hair into a Mullet. Business up front, party out the back 🍺 I had a fish die 5 minutes before weigh in with a winning bag. We cannot weigh dead fish here in Australia. Finished 7th with 4 fish….. so yeah I know how you feel mate.

[@jessebrown6569]

Love the braids

[@fishingwithollie1021]

Some Samurai had a man bun....just saying

[@brennencseh3744]

My hair is long too never wear the man bun usually just wear a hat.

[@timwhite7048]

I just don't understand the sideways captions on every single video. I'm sure you don't need to make stuff up to get views. Maybe I missed something but I didn't see any big mistakes that "derailed" your season.

[@jimoconnor8597]

He weighed in only 4 fish when he obviously caught 5 keepers throughout the day...

[@dwightpettit6489]

This guy becomes more unlikable every video I see

Good job nebraska
