Thank god you guys didn’t cancel. This trip is more historic than the cold front that hit Texas

[@JAREDDADAMS]

Yeah we got some so called guides down here that are pissed cause they can't just take clients on their normal milk run anymore. They mad cause the extra pressure might cause them to actually work to find fish.😂 Thanks for coming and showing off our amazing fishery. You guys are the shit!!💪 Congrats fellas.

[@tallchap8070]

I noticed that there weren’t too many others out there fishing. They must be so mad with you muscling in on their territory.

[@dgiogal]

U know what F you! This some people’s livelihoods. Fishing 101, u don’t disclose the lake or area ur fishing. If you catch a big one , it ok and awesome. Take a pic and move on. If this was my home lake, I’d come and toss ur ass in the drink ASAP. I don’t care if ur 6’2” 250lb. Don’t come to Socal with ur KZbin shit on our lakes, Beware and be afraid.

I grew up fishing native trout in Canada, and now progressed to big cats! My grandson loves your videos as well! He's 9 and just getting into bass fishing, so we've really learned alot from you. Thank you so much! Fans forever!

if you take a thing of Vaseline and some cute tips with you, when your guides start to ice over clean the ice off, dip a q-tip in the Vaseline and rub it through your guides and it keeps ice from sticking to them

[@BrandonBReelKillerFishn]

@@MsKindaSorta well that is very surprising to me not trying to be their hype man or nothing but I stayed super warm in mind and only had a long sleeve shirt on underneath it it's not as warm as the fish down jacket but it is also meant to mostly be a rain jacket and keep you out of the wind and the elements it is part of layering I do not think it was completely intended to be the end all be all winter jacket

[@samscottfishing]

I’m a Texan, and I ain’t furious. I think everyone should come down to Texas and bust their biggest/heaviest bag or catch their new PB. Ain’t gonna hurt the lakes any. Fish live and die and fisheries go through the cycle of being good and bad. Happy for you and Zark!

[@kennywitek771]

It will absolutely hurt the lakes. But at least Ben didn’t blast what lake he was at like other people have. Word of mouth is bad enough but social media is a lake killer. But again I have respect for how Ben handled what he has done. Tx and share lunker are the ones that made it known where they are fishing at.

[@samscottfishing]

@@kennywitek771 there are giants on Sam Rayburn, giants in Lake Fork, giants in Possum Kingdom, giants in Amistad, and giants in most Texas lakes. Some lakes are in the cycle of being bad fisheries and others are good or coming back. Can’t hate on what isn’t yours. These lakes and fish aren’t ours. Their lives aren’t ours. They’re only here for us to enjoy by God. Nature isn’t something we control. TPWD and Sharelunker can try and play god but all they do is breed inside a lab. Nature will prevail long after we have left this earth. No sense in getting upset about it. Just enjoy it while it lasts.

[@billwest5330]

With the help of Livescope they were able to do what they did, would they have had that success without it?

[@samscottfishing]

@@billwest5330 that’s the world we live in now man. Live scope is just the tip of the iceberg. Every fishing electronics company has a version of live scope. I don’t think it’ll be too long before something better comes out. We’re living in an era in time where technology is still revolutionizing our daily life. I’m in college right now about to finish up my degree in business. I’ve had the opportunity to speak with many businesses within the fishing world, Information Technology and Systems world, and many companies that are engineering/inventing a better product. The world isn’t the same as it was 30 years ago. It’s a whole new playing field.

[@kennywitek771]

@@samscottfishing why do they go in cycles? Fishing pressure is the main reason! People flock to lakes that are hot and then burn it down and move to the next. Ben went to a lake and didn’t know what to expect. He landed on a gold mine. People want to follow in his and others tracks cause they see them catch giants and expect the same result.
