In 30 Years of Fishing I have NEVER seen this...

Is this the result of global warming? Is the apocalypse coming??

I caught a 6 pounder in 3 feet of water last week as I was checking to make sure my chatterbait was running proper. Came up and grabbed it as I was doing figure 8s at my feet. Hadn't even gotten a cast in yet. Tis the season

[@256bassfishing]

I'm calling the cops! You straight murdered that poor bass on the hook set. 😂😂😂

[@kylegrosvenor772]

Can't wait to see the tournaments brother!! Another awesome one 👏 😎

[@ahazemy111]

This is old school Miliken! Just fishin in conditions. Can't wait for the tournaments

[@russ-t6913]

Seeing those fish on beds that early is your welcome to SE Texas. It won't be the last time you see males on beds in January here. You will likely see them in the little pocket at the beginning of the video in January more years than not. I would really like to see you do some of your Livescope video's on that lake in early June. The big fish can really stack up on the brushpiles then on that lake.

[@mrpaul6971]

Good shit man! I sure do appreciate your content! I hope one day I get to meet you and learn from the master of big swims. Just recently got a 8'11 okuma and an slx. A needed upgrade for that ghost glide draw.

[@Ryancuprewich]

Personal experience, the bass love to eat just the bullet weight when it’s not pegged (always peg it)

[@joecalhounschasintailguide6703]

Impressed by your skipping and definitely impressed by your Hooksett at the 3:14 mark.

[@daveb920]

I live in South Florida, and the bedding season literally started in December!

[@MillikenFishing]

Yessir!

[@badbrad936]

They spawn early every year in that pocket... Couple years ago I saw a few on the bed early November in there.

[@andrewboyce7268]

Well Bass can spawn year round in warm climates like Texas and Florida, which is dope.

[@danpennington4464]

Hey Ben thanks for some of the detailed explanations you’ve been doing for some of the techniques you’re using. As someone who doesn’t put the time on the water as much as I’d like I find it very helpful and informative. Thank you and keep it up!

[@oliverhoff2424]

I love that he is bed fishing in january as there is 24 inches of ice on the lakes by me.

[@bayouburner281]

I caught 8 on beds Monday-Further south from you in a local bayou. I’ve seen them spawning in late January on Conroe several times over the years.

[@billyray6913]

Fun fact. You can catch tanks on the beds. They bite rubber lizards out of anger and hunger. Salamanders and stuff eat their eggs.

[@RobandReelTV]

“That guy got a headache” had me weak😂😂😂😂

[@jesseboyden3119]

3:10 😂😂😂 that fish probably has no f***in idea what even happened. Bit a shad and then was flying through the air 😂

From what I have seen you should do very well on the tour. I like your vids and I wish you luck

My PB’s have all been in 2 feet of water in November in Washington! It was cold and sleeting!

at the start of January I was bedfishing here in central Florida. Im pretty sure florida bass just bed early in general though

Great video brother!!!

[@jamespowellii1191]

Hey Mr. Ben! Where can we get those glasses you are wearing. I cannot find them on the website. I like the large side sheilds and the full glass front.

[@wheelb4973]

In my years of fishing I have come to believe from experience that lots of big females will stage up to beds and spawn very early during the year . With just a few days of unseasonable warm weather the big girls will move up and start their spawning process as early as late January . I have seen this repeated through the years and all it seems to take is 3 to 5 days of warm weather .

[@Dumboi]

I had a first the other day. I’ve been bass fishing exclusively for about 7 years and in those 7 years I’ve never seen this before until about 3 days ago. A maybe 2 pound IF THAT bass had a good 10 inch rainbow trout in its mouth with only about 3 inches of its tail sticking out. Pretty crazy to me lol

[@CommonSenseFishing209]

We see bed fish in late January ND February in some water in California.

Big fan of your videos. Have been for a long time. Not a fan of you throwing your scrap line in the water (12:32) even if it is in the heat of the moment. Maybe spin it up and put in the glove box or in your pocket until you can get to a garbage can. Scrap line in props or tangled around wildlife isn’t cool.

U probably lost that fish because u ripped the hook so hard it tour through the bass thin lip

[@w00dyd00w]

If you could see my teeth you would probably stop using your teeth to bite off the line! ite woody

[@philipscherrer5930]

Bro I know you been fishing for a long time....However, I think you need to chill out just a tad bit on your hook sets. That crazy throttle is not necessary. When you do that, you make the hole in their mouth bigger than it should be. If they jump, it is probably more likely that it comes off. When your hook set breaks your line, you should right away know that you are setting too hard bro. I'm just trying to help you. We fish completely different areas, not like you are my competition or anything. I never miss that many fish dude. Plus you set way too fast, you need to let them have it like .5 seconds longer bro. You don't even give them time to eat the whole bait.... that's why you were losing baits and had no fish on it. Just give it a try bro. Just hold the trigger a fraction longer before going ape shit and dont set it so damn hard. You look like me trying to penetrate a tarpons boney mouth.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@conorlinehan4434]

I love your videos my friend. I am a fellow animal lover. In no way am I trying to hate. But you should secure your dog much better then that. All it takes is one slight spook because of a bump and your dog would get hurt or killed. I hope you consider preventing a pretty bad accident before it happens. Keep up the good videos!

[@austinhubatch6070]

Till you smack a hole in your boat from a stump or rock and your dogs tied to the boat at the bottom of the lake or flipped upside down. A good reason there's no seat belts on boats.

[@conorlinehan4434]

@@austinhubatch6070 id take the chances of that happening over the dog getting spooked. Of course there is a risk no matter your view. If you situation was the case, the dog would still be seriously injured or killed.

Yes the apocalypse is coming, and soon. You’d better stop releasing those fish and save them for sustenance. 😂 Or after watching the video, landing more of them. Lol

[@W0RLDBR8KER]

Apocalypse means unveiling. When God is completely revealed. Instead of trying to hoard fish, just put your trust in Jesus and you don’t have to worry about the apocalypse or what happens when you die. Much better than trusting in a pile of fish to get you through.
