Back in the day, my grandparents lived down the street from Lake Apopka. It was in the middle of orchards. It was basically a dead lake that only had an occasional gators in it. It's nice to see that over the many years it's come back

[@inn0c3ntbylaw92]

over the last 20 years there have been significant strides to bring it back into a bass fishery. It has a massive population of gators, but its a very solid enough lake now

[@kentuckytrapper780]

Great video Ben, Cole is Killin it...catch'um up..

[@colepannell7686]

Super excited to see that frog. I like the Vega frog but I prefer a walking frog over popping

[@ballpythons31]

Love the style of this video. Loved the hand held phone type recordong with commentary. Keep it up my dude!

[@fland49]

My parents (Louis and Mary Sue Landers) owned Port Hatchineha Marina and a restaurant on the Harris Chain in the early 1970s. I was guiding bass fishermen on Sam Rayburn in Texas at the time. This story brings back many memories.

[@greenwinggang3949]

Any tips for fishing Sam Rayburn this time of year? Headed to practice

[@BladeSaxon]

there’s a spillway in harris that if you can run too there’s a shell bar on the side of it next to the grass line where you can catch a quick limit of alright sized fish on a golden or bone colored lipless (i prefer gold) then dip out to look for bigging

[@edwardvanvalkenburg3254]

Howdy Ben, salute salute! The judge will be the next big thing Bud!!!!!!!!! A curly tail grub of sizes has seriously caught me more fish than most of the techniques out there. Thank you Ben for the work, still have to watch with safety glasses because of the grinder. Stay bent.

[@Ricko425]

I always used to watch you when you lived in Nebraska. I’ve seen all of your vids at Carter lake but right now Carter lake is like down 4 feet and you can barely fish

[@F.Ronnie]

Great video. Thanks Ben.

[@schimm124]

That gizzard lookin paddle tail! Need that! So bad! That looks so good!

[@OrangeOutdoors]

What bait was it? He didn’t say!

[@nathanielgay3]

Keep grinding man! ❤

[@rickhoeflinger3251]

So cool to see you and who I assume is your son on this video. And he was extremely professional.

[@user-or8wn8lw2n]

Have really enjoyed watching your rookie season transpire so far my man. Keep grinding , you’re making us mfrs all proud!

[@williamcampbell6589]

Imagine how good of a fisherman Ozzie is going to be. Dad's going to pass down the knowledge.

[@JupiterBassin]

Good stuff Ben. I knew it was going to be rough for yall. Been fishing the Chain last few months it was tough to get size around that time when yall were there. That's not including how pressured its from all the other tourneys and the spraying.

[@Mjones8383]

Love it, even though I know how this Florida swing went for ya, I still pick you on my fantasy every tournament. Florida is a place you need to spend more time in just to figure it out, it's so different from all other places

[@JiggyjarjardoM77]

Yeah.... you want to catch a bass but need to get through the Gar first...

[@mikemiller8440]

Thanks again for another awesome video I really enjoyed it and as always I'm really looking forward to seeing the next video

[@JiggyjarjardoM77]

Ben..... I forgot or was never given a reason or explanation or I missed it but I'd like a flathead collaboration with Josh... .... ..... go d a catch and cook... AND you better have a stachestick....

[@JamesMaglothin]

Awesome video. I got the Judge as a mystery bag with one of my orders. I am looking for to throwing it and gonna give the Draw a try too. Keep putting out great baits.

[@BillyBats773]

A good tip for the Hair Jigs folks, use a striker on them especially for deeper cooler water.

[@curtisfairman6239]

I think you have another bass fisherman in the making there in Ozzy 😊

[@reyn3545]

That gator was calling its mama..... you're lucky! Harris Chain is my favorite area down here.

[@toddlowery1738]

Coleslaw is the man to start with . Congrats Ben. You are killing it. Florida is a tough place . You will get it figured out for sure . Stay positive and you will succeed

[@marclafontaine5615]

Love your videos man.

[@michaelmorrow9231]

"Back to back... one gator one bass... living hand 2 hand!" Another great video for the 402!

[@bayouburner281]

That big Shad swimbait looks sick🤙🏻

[@paulnelson9907]

Harris Chain was a go to place for shiner fishing.

[@DoingitallHardway]

I live in Florida and bass fish sometimes close to about 10ft alligator. And btw next time you catch an alligator grab it by its head and get the hook out with pliers. Nice video keep up the good work

[@GASFAB96]

Come to starke when you come to the St. John’s some nice bass around here man I’d love to fish Hampton lake with someone who has a live scope there is some state record bass on Kingsley lake but it’s private I have access to

[@rongeipel7076]

Good luck on Harris. I know you’ll put something together. It’s time to see you holding them trophies. Keep your head down. We got this time to pick up some Giants.

[@derrickcappas]

Quick question whats your first rod setup ? (Specs) Thanks

[@pastmasters9591]

Dude I can't even imagine being launched this quickly into Fandom. But I love how humble you always are! Please never change that! Please always be there for all of us who brought you to this point! I love following your story and you have our support!

I think the actual correct question here is ... why are YOU so hostile and bitchy towards a obvious positive comment coming from a good space!!? I think everyone can agree your attitude indicates that in REALITY it is YOUR LIFE that is a BIG L !! DO BETTER :)

[@rodcashman4793]

Ben I've caught a 3foot & 4footer gators out of ponds there in southwest Florida.

[@michaeljordan3084]

New baits are looking choice. The judge would be awesome on a chatterbait after it get beat up, cut off the front and go. Best chatter bite I’ve ever been on was with a similar bait with the speed tail.

[@jordonpratt2604]

I love alligators lol, it’s cool seeing them when I go see my family in Memphis. Man keep doing what you’re doing. You are the man

[@MikeBurch-rk1vm]

Let Ozzie give the baits you need to talk about 😅😅 hes gonna be one heck of a fisherman

[@pinhookfishingclub]

Omg that was a clutch unhooking job on that pencil neck gator lol🏆

[@ADKyakman]

Yeah that new stuff played great for you man

[@mr.v2689]

I think we need a fishing duel to happen for some big money…. Coleslaw vs McCoy!!!!!!!! Loser has to fill the other ones fisherman for the next tourney

[@MaineStreamFishing]

6 G O D! Can’t wait for those new frogs! Its time for topwater!!!

[@TripEfishing]

Awesome video man! Pretty good practice! I just ordered a bunch of new baits and I can confirm that the Judge is fire 🔥

[@jonminor3488]

I just wanna know when them new frogs coming out . Gotsta have some. baby bluegill is my favorite

[@reelnmanglergilly4856]

Bro I wanna fish with you! If you come to NM lmk I’ll take you to a awesome lake

[@charles1990s]

Best bass fishing I have ever done in my like was at lake reedy in Frostproof actually I think it's like 40-50 miles south from apopka

[@miguelsantiago5443]

When was that?? Hit lake Reedy a few weeks ago and it wasn’t good at all. Caught a few, but nothing to write home about.

[@FreshCoast_]

Had to double check the title. Thought I was watchin Castaway part deuce! That frog is pimp.

[@cartermccune9810]

We need more of millikens sons he’s so funny

[@LostHinkleShad]

What's up with that big soft swimbait? Who makes it?

[@RadPplOnly]

That crappie was huge

[@adzoutnabout8666]

Just relax and enjoy yourself mate. Remember, if you lose a big fish….. you were throwing the right bait in the right place to get the bite to begin with.

[@brianlee9074]

I thought you were really going to keep that for Osborne as a pet. 😂

[@SuperLefty1981]

Damn caught this right at the drop

[@LeightonDunford]

6th sense needs to come out with a whopper plopper style bait asap

[@pennysgarage]

Fun Florida fishing fact: You can't catch a pickerel unless you're bass fishing.

[@floridasaltlife]

Freaking awesome !! Gotta support those Florida Gators !!!

[@alanbertdubois8796]

On the board with Wally gator.

You might need 11 inch needle nose pliers for a alligator our if they are 11 inches

6th since does it again these gies jus keep on coming with unbelievable new baits, Ps go topwater milli :)

Dayum gator WOW

[@ADKyakman]

Keitech mad wag rip off- the swimming worm deal ya got going on, a little different, same idea tho. Big swimbait profile, ribbed , curly/swimming worm tail..the mad wag is lights out I’m stoked absolutely no one talks of it fishes it..burn that sucker thru grass piles in the pre spawn and hop it thru grass lines in post spawn it gets gulped

[@fabianmoncada2402]

[@charlieyeager3645]

I think Ozzie said 8 12lbers

[@jmccOutdoors]

Lmao and even more when it appeared it dawned on you to take a look around for momma 🐊

[@1DjScarface]

Gotta move after it makes that noise it’s calling mama… go from gator nuggets to full size gator better keep the 🔫 😂🤣

[@evywharton2305]

What happened at lake Murray.?? Did you break your arm, get run over by another boat? I mean this should have been right up your alley. I just don’t get it?

[@briannauss2728]

Yeah, that was crazy! 10 lbs pounds would have got him 10 grand. & he catches 2 fish for 4 lbs. All or nothing with Ben I guess. I think I would have stayed close to Lee & get some points at least

[@toddlowery1738]

Mfer all the way

[@michaellesko7141]

I love when people write off Florida as shitty fishing lol I caught 3 10+ pounders by the time I was 13 growing up down here. You can’t fish down here like other places.

[@FishingWithChris_Tv]

Love the uncensored content, it’s a nice change of pace from a lot of channels I watch 😂

[@matthewcritchfield6997]

Thank you too Mr. coleslaw for keeping the train rolling👍 You can’t win in every tournament, but you can sure try Stay positive and keep rocking 🇺🇸👍

Bro...6th sense is literally changing the game......a lot more shit I need to buy lol.

[@chrisgilbert4146]

FFS should have let you know that thing was down there. Better pay more attention to that......

[@Carolinaboi313]

That gator was calling for mama. Just grab it by the neck next time

[@MemeMaterial616]

Yo

[@devonstewart4254]

You didn’t wanna just grab him behind the neck? Didn’t wanna scratch the nail polish?

[@Akillmike72Videos]

Cool, but what sense was it to throw the hook line and plastic in the water? Just lazy asf for nothing.

[@Mikelen11]

Must really suck when you catch dinks like that and have terrible days. Especially after you’ve spent about $30-$50k on all those fancy electronics. Not to mention the boat that costs dang near $100k. 😂.

[@TylerBecham-xr9is]

That what happens when I Yankee comes to the real south

[@flip5097]

Wonder if punching pads would be productive?

Go catch some Oscar's while in Florida

You could've grabbed him, he wasn't that big.

Does anybody care or wonder why they're spraying all that crap in the sky?

[@lambertjohnson9337]

Cook him next time

[@angiespencer4156]

Dude lake Murry, how in this world could you not go back to where you caught almost 22lbs the day before, you got some learning to do but I’m still with you 100%, get on board the 402 express 😊

[@codycampbellfishing2007]

Either other boats on his spots, the fish moved, or he didn’t get on them in the bite windows those blueback herring lakes are finicky as hell and you can go from zero to hero or hero to zero really quick

[@callmet2895]

Ozzy made this video amazing!!!
