Is THIS Acceptable Behavior in a Fishing Tournament?? The wheels came off...

[@Jason-rz6ev]

You're living the best days of your life brother with your little one at his age, good wife, home, all of it. Been there. I guess just stay humble, grateful, and trust your gut. What's meant to be will be brother. We rarely learn from success. Never give up! We all believe in you!

[@gmunz360]

🙌🙏

[@nextlevelangling]

Cole has been straight killing it with the edits, and I know he’s been grinding hard to get videos out. It doesn’t go unnoticed!

[@guineapigmomma53]

You know I have been noticing this as well. The drone transition’s have been badass!!!

[@zekethefishgeek8690]

I don't think you could do any better for a cameraman/videographer/editor/friend...

[@strydershadow391]

Cole does some amazing work for sure.

[@chrise7884]

Very cool that even after a tough day of fishing your meeting with fans, signing stuff, taking pictures. That’s true sportsmanship for real. Props to you sir keep on keeping on!

[@d10dozerman2]

[@prestonrussell605]

Though things didn’t go as planned, that’s why they call it fishing and not catching. You gave it your all and I respect that! Wishing better things in the next tournament!

[@outdooradventuressupply8446]

Hey man, tough conditions humble us all. Way to keep pushing and not giving up. Much love homie

[@jonzimmerman798]

The truth is I had lost interest in BASS for a couple of years but watching you from beginning your KZbin career to now! I’m interested! Keep it up brother you can’t win them all!! But you can win the next one!

[@bobrole9677]

Ben.. you know better than anyone.. that's FISHING..IT HAPPENS! Keep doing you. If it was easy all the time, it wouldn't be fun. Plenty of fishing ahead of you. You will be there at the end. Watch!

[@jasoncoles8063]

One thing I've learned over the years tournament fisherman think they own the water.. that's why I got out couldn't compete with a holes.. Ben I love everything about you man keep living our dream

[@0217kris]

Again my hats off to you! Even telling them where there at! 💯 competition but still showing more class. Best of luck man. Thanks for taking us along 🍺🥃

[@d10dozerman2]

New subscriber here. Stumbled across your channel a few days ago and really like how you present your videos. You may not had won the tournament but you won your daughter's heart and that is the greatest prize. What I would give for my daughter to be small like that again. Cherish the simple moments with her because our kids grow so fast. Another great video

[@pasarea999]

I feel for you man! This is just a humbling experience you will bounce back quick !

[@joshlowe9969]

Crazy how much I’ve seen you grow and improve not only yourself but your channel love your journey brother keep it up!

[@chrisoman989]

Ben, don’t beat yourself up. I am supporting you and love watching you fish the tournaments. Don’t doubt your knowledge and keep your chin up buddy

[@319_Fishing]

Keep your head up..just sucks when things go that way!! Plenty of better fishing days in your future! Good luck next tourney bro.

[@danielsimmons7126]

Been watching you since you started this. Man throw the big stuff! That's what got you here

[@MillikenFishing]

Haha man I tried. Water wasn’t right and they weren’t interested

[@Jeff_Halligan_EPIQUE_Sandpoint]

after season, you need to run the camera and let cole having a fishing day! He has earned it for sure

[@jacobrhoads9681]

Shit we need a Coleslaw and wizard video....

[@michaelrheam9575]

Ben you are blessed to do what you do. You have good support. Stay humble and send it.👍🤘

[@henkvanwyngaardt2394]

Rooting for you dude! Don't let a bad placing in a tournament get to you. You got this! #Boom #YouBet

[@tragikk03]

You're a good role model for the younger anglers, homie. Kind, but not weak. I think I'm a little older than you.. I'll be 33 soon, but my son just turned 6. Happy for you guys - you've worked hard and made a family and a future for your kid, that's dope.

[@tragikk03]

hearing you explain why you're changing, and the way you think about these patterns fish get into, really just helped a ton. Just had a lightbulb moment after you called the audible at the first spot. I've been bass fishing around 5 years and had trouble making the switch from a normal guy running "fishy" spots to chasing patterns - hearing you think out loud just made me finally get it in a way I haven't before

[@jakewest7080]

hey Ben, you kick ass. I love your videos, I still go back and watch your live scope vids. Your video's are super entertaining, keep making them. Iv never fished a tournament but they look like they have ups and downs. Keep at it! Your doing great! Best thing Iv learn in life is to keep being yourself, and your a great dude, so keep it up.

[@danrogers9945]

You are going to have days like this bud! When it gets tough,think about most people go bust their butts at a job they are sick of every day! Just making it. You are blessed to do what you love! Hang in there!

[@48bobbi]

i AM AN MFER. I have been watching you for years. So glad to see you make the jump. You are a class A fisherman. You will do well. I love that you respect the other fisherman and do you. Good luck in the future tournaments.

[@kylebolenske4229]

Yeah when they flip the field second day it can hurt you for sure. You’re still killing it. Just got to keep grinding. Palaniuk was really respectful too that guys a class act.

[@ivanschrum8036]

I live 30 minutes from that lake Eufaula. Cloudy water always. Some of the southern coves run clear. I live in Tamaha Oklahoma off Robert Kerr lake. Great lake to fish also

[@stanleychance1922]

You did good, don't let it get you down. Maybe next time things will change. You are a very smart man person when it comes to fishing. Keep up the good work.

[@jeffpickett9730]

Your a winner bro. You won’t be down long. The goats have bad days too. Those damn finicky fish are the great equalizer. Your a brilliant fisherman. That’s why I picked you to be my dude on tour. Your the best. See you in in a few weeks at Eufaula. You’re gonna smash fools there!!! Thanks for finding time when you “weren’t” busy to give us members that Badass gem of a video, I caught a 3.66 on the bait you taught me to build in that video on an urban pond!! It’s a smoker of a bait!!

[@gongha4484]

you know its a rough day when every fish skis back to the boat

[@rodneywebb2804]

Lake Eufala - try all the points and humps from Canadian down to Hwy 31 bridge. Originally from Muskogee area prior to going into the military.

[@billyr828]

Keep grinding, we’ll keep watching. Love the tournament content.

[@stephenpaulson9043]

Man keep at Ben! Can’t wait to see the juice you pull in the coming events

[@jasonemeric9902]

This is your livelihood man. Your comments and reactions are not wrong. Keep doing u, rise up, and keep showing all the small people how a real pro fishes.

[@toddbogeart2707]

Ben I have followed you many years since the old days always pulling for you man.Dont forget about the slaw 610 graphite rod.Awesome fisherman thankyou Chef

[@brucepreston3927]

I know it's hard not to feel crushed when that happens, but man you are still a hammer on the water! You will always have tough days out there, but I'm excited and looking forward to the next tournament video!

[@jacksonrollins2403]

It was awesome getting to meet you! Anytime you come back to north alabama and wanna go fish just hmu

[@guineapigmomma53]

I think it’s pretty cool that bass lets your camera guy ride with you when you don’t a coangler or a marshal riding with you. I’m surprised that some crybabies havnt had that rule changed saying it gives you and advantage and having your personal camera guy riding with you!!! Coleslaw keep killing it man! Your transitions are on point lately!! But I want to see more videos of you fishing!!!

[@limpingfisherman1509]

Tough day 2. You will get them the next one. Great vids Ben. Love watching them.

[@MrTIREMAN16]

In a fishing tournament all fair Love and War. Now it bugs me when I'm in a kayak and I have a motorboat pull up 15 ft away from me and start fishing. They have the whole lake, but I deal with it because it is every man's water!

[@jasonbizzell9699]

I am at pickwick this weekend. Going to be using your techniques to try and put some fish in the boat

[@banned4life857]

I thought you handled it all well. The podcast interview was good. You got it.

[@matthessa.k.aslummy7189]

Always something to pick up from my favorite educational videos and my mentor todays lesson is how to maintain composure and staying cool on surface when deep down your ready to explode and let a Muffhugger feel your Andre the Giantness

[@ksoutdoorsports]

NASCAR dudes win one or two a year and their hero's, and happy with it. Fishing tournaments are the same way... hopefully without the exciting crashes and boat parts flying. Just do your part, and don't suck.

[@mjheggie2]

All good bro, doing great man! Awesome content as always 💪🏻🎣

[@Megellin]

Haha, yeah I don't ever enter bass tournaments, but living super near lake guntersville I've learned to hate some tournament fishers because they will buzz me to screw up my fishing, and 4 or 5 boats will fish within casting range of me when they see me catching fish...

[@joelangley1462]

Bro head down and keep on keeping on. Win you are successful you put a big ol 🎯 on your back. Because success breeds jealousy. Your attitude is great and has been the same as it was the day I met you at that Truck Stop in Nebraska a few years ago and you told me about your Channel. Keep grinding and it'll work out

[@paulitooooo55]

That's pretty funny. I fished out of Ingals harbor last week and lost my old diawa hat as we launched. Bummer!

[@LucasBoysOutdoors]

Love y’all’s videos. Just started recording my own fishing trips with my kids and was considering when the best time to take them to a tournament would be. Right now they may be too young.

[@gllyson]

Cole doing great filming!!

[@traviscranford1399]

Love the channel been a fan for a long time

[@Auditing.northern.N.Y.]

I like that you're man enough to take ownership. It's not an easy thing to do. Respect!

Keep up the hard work it will pay off Ben great video and editing by Cole slaw

Great job bud! Handling fish and adversity like a champ! Inspiring as always bro

[@fishinfever3577]

What’s that carpet stuff you have on there again called?

[@cowbyupnow1]

Damn tough luck sometimes Ben... BUT...at least you have Ozzy and Mrs Milliken Fishing to come home to and lift your spirits up! Love that little guy...😁 Im sure you will crush it at Eufaula, OK... keep your head up and in the game!!

[@johnjohnson5933]

Well , thats behind ya dont look back . Keep it going forward 👏 👍 👌

Looking forward to seeing Ozzy as your co-angler Ben. Get 'em!

Hey Ben! Are you coming to Cayuga Lake, NY, for the tournament next weekend? If so, I can't wait to meet you at the weigh-in and launch events! My son and I watch all of your videos! It would be an honor to show you some cool spots while you're in town if you're down!

No that is MLF that is goign to be there

everyone come fish beside me as we gingerly touch our tips lmao

[@rodcashman4793]

Ben you'll slay them next time. Thanks for sharing 🎣 and being honest.

[@christophercrowley5994]

I’m a newbie here I guess, started fishing during Covid in 2020. For my few short years, I’ve come to find out that 50/50 anglers are nice or angry grumpy men. It’s wild. You never know what you’re going to get.

[@Mjones8383]

Well, momma said life's like a box of chocolate, you never know what you are going to get 😂

[@haroldblake1196]

Just glad to see you are just like the rest of us and have bad days also. Go get em Ben

[@brandonmcsorley9579]

We all know you won't allow yourself to let this tourney discourage you from the next. New Tourney is anew day! Shake it off and do YOUR thang!

[@alexoienundertheveil4742]

You got this Ben I truly think they should cut the number of boats down it gets over fished in practice and even before it then the fish are like nope we're on to u. I'm not sure what happens like a few weeks before the tournament but if they closed the lakes down before fishing for the tournaments it would make a world of difference pressured fish don't bite especially with 200plus boats with equal equipment and technology. The over fishing and ridiculous weather patterns of the past couple years from weather manipulation is one of the main causes. Keep ur head up and your doing well Ben ur where you've deserved to be in the bassmasters.

[@alanmarshall4723]

I live here around Guntersville and Wheeler. Man I’ll tell ya, Wheeler can be feast or famine.

[@kanufixit]

I have enjoyed watching you since fishing the ditches - quick question - did Cole move to Texas also ?

[@colewhitehead3385]

Way to stick it out Ben. Sometimes it's just an off day. But it's ok because you're the best fisherman in the 🌎

Eufala is a great big bas lake a lot of big stringers pulled out of there I have had tournament won with over 30 pounds

Ben you gotta try the bass pro swerve glide bait. The bps shit usually sucks but this glide is actually very good especially for the price

I don’t know if you will see this comment. But you get me more into fishing after every video I watch. I hope to some day pick up the knowledge you have. Keep striving and kick a**
