The dude donated to the hof. He didn’t pay Milliken a dime. We saw a 23 min video and all the KZbin experts know everything now 😂😂😂. Nice job BEN! Good luck on the elites, I’ll be watching and rooting for you.

[@BFHOF]

Thank you for supporting the HOF by donating this fishing experience!! And big thanks to Dan for the winning bid!

[@bayouburner281]

The $600 to fish with Rick Clunn was way too low imo, Absolute legend

[@newlifefcmo]

I initially thought that too but that was the starting bid. The pictures were a mix of starting bid and winning bid prices.

[@Braxtonmyers5667]

I’ll definitely give the guy props for setting the hook while on the phone.

[@FishingNorthernOntarioCanada]

Landing it using the shoulder technique and no fear of losing the phone wS equally impressive.

[@pavichapin]

I lost a cell phone doing that.

[@bigmoneytv6674]

He could of bought a boat with that lol

[@jimmywallhanger8402]

I doubt it ws his last 17k......

[@buckydoedowner9040]

Probably cant write a boat off on his business taxes like he can a donation.

[@InbredJed82060]

​@@buckydoedowner9040hello accountant here. He does get some tax breaks from charitable donations. He does not get any tax breaks for buying a boat, unless they boat brought revenue to his business, then it would be COGS

[@taylord9772]

He said when he gets back to the car he’s gonna order a NBt marine graph like ordering a burger, don’t think he’s worried about money

[@ilikerealmaplesyrup]

If I paid 17g I would be asking Mr. Mill to stand behind me, not fish and point to exactly where he would cast.

[@bigbassventilatorinc]

🤣😭 this was a good onee

[@mryates208]

Hoging the front I have fished with people like you .I would have just set down and watch you fish to you got the message.

[@dnahulvey]

I am assuming his client didn’t want to run the trolling motor and live scope! I was screaming at my phone ”GET ON THE TROLLING MOTOR!” every time Ben caught a bass!

[@chief1334]

He's on the trolling motor keeping the boat in position and the live sonar aimed at the fish... get a clue

[@FishingwithBam]

Man I’ve never rooted for someone to catch a fish like I did in this video. Awesome video

[@brandondodd7973]

That guy deserved 3 days fishing, gourmet meals and a bed for 17k 😂

You act like he paid ben 17k to go fishing....

[@George-gk7nc]

Three months fishing you mean

[@fishinislife9953]

Love the videos man. Hope you do great on the upcoming events! Be rooting for ya here in north Texas.

Awesome that he took the time after the guy paid 17k

[@PHATBASSASSASSIN]

Ben should be letting him do the casting it’s like getting a guide and him fish the whole time haha

[@johnbutcher8270]

Lake fork guides do that . Caught a 10 lber in the front made us fish in back 😢

[@easttexasfishermanwithstev5108]

Thank you. So fun to watch. The guy seemed really nice. Maybe he was a little shy to be filmed. At least he wasn't a Mike Iaconelli screaming BIGGUN every two seconds...I like Mike when he's not exploding. Anyways, Thank you for the great videos.

[@carlincasey.]

I was rooting for him to catch ‘em the whole time! Thats gotta be an awesome experience fishing with you.

[@mattress2331]

Oh, I Know Ben Coached and tried! This guy got what he paid for, absolutely! Some people just don't understand there is a Huge learning curve as well! I'm sure the guy had a great experience I'm guessing. He's just a quiet sort is all. Congrats on being a donor for the Hall of Fame.

[@Notmyname-co5sc]

Ive been watching ben since the early early days. Dont watch him much anymore. I can tell you right now that guy is an idiot paying 17 gs to go fishing.

[@bassnbuckbillyb824]

Nice job Ben AWSOME dude!Cant believe you took time out,because you’re so close to starting the season!Id told dude ya gonna have to wait till fall to go catch the GINAS!I know you’re busy as hell right now so props to you for making time!See ya at Toledo bend bud.Go get on em MF’r!👍🏼👍🏼

If i had 17 grand layin around id take a day off work n go fishin.. guess ill just keep watchin ur vids after work n call it a day 😊

[@slabslapper8507]

Dude just baggin 4-6 pounders like sunnies rippin my worm apart, then pulls in a 10 pounder all nonchalant like "yeah I'll take a 10 pounder and a large fry please, extra mac sauce." I'd be light headed and slightly dizzy, then changing my undies

[@kennyholton6103]

Glad to see ol’ boy get a couple fish!!! I bet he had a great time with Ben

[@brokenbonesbaits]

Guy pays 17k and you make him the title and put him on blast. Then give him backseat to the fish 👌A plus guide

[@mjpate7]

Im saying 🤣I would have my rod down making sure hes catching everything.

[@bigdawgggbachi5394]

Yea it’s really strange how a lot of his fans just can’t see that…milliken berated this guy who literally donated 17k to fish with him…who cares if he took a phone call…milliken literally stood up in front of him and cast his own lures at fish on the livescope and banished ol bud to the shadow realm lol could have had more fun just banging the bank man this livescope style of fishing makes me feel queasy lol

[@kidsandcars956]

Always fun to watch your style of fishing.

You showed the winner you can catch fish! Good job dude!

Nice way to Donate to HOF..Helps !! Good luck Ben on the Elite series !!! Do what you do best! Just ordered bunch of Hover Juggles..A-rigs..Devine swimbaits ..swimbait heads etc to the Broomstick..The Draw and Hangovers will be thrown on them bigger rods after slinging it on 7”6 it’s time to get heavier and bigger in KY

Maybe they will just make you a 36in one so you can get everyone again when they all buy the one you have now!!! Lol

I've been following you for a very long time and I'm a huge fan.. I feel like you should of shown him once what you are doing and put your rod down until he caught a couple waller ginas himself... He is like "oh u got another one" ... Funny and sad LMAO I hope there is a part 2 because he could of watched you catch them from home 🤦

[@ryandoll3684]

I feel the same way Ben should have not even fished ..basically just out dude in some giants not catch them himself 😭

[@andyrobertson9685]

Interesting, no explanation of why 17k? He own a company?hit the lottery, obviously loves fishing all over. But. Less extrovert. I bet it was an awesome experience for him. Worth every penny every penny. 👍

[@MillikenFishing]

In reality, I let Dan cast to the large majority of big fish and coached him thru the process. We didn’t include the casts without catches because obviously that wouldn’t be very exciting content. He also didn’t fish half or more of the day 🤷🏻‍♂️And to be fair, I could give people the exact rod, exact bait, and coach them through the entire cast/presentation (as I did), and 99% of fisherman wouldn't be able to catch a DD.

Hey this guy will have some serious bragging rights when you end up winning the Bassmaster Classic and being able to say he fished with the best! I know a guy who paid 17 dollars to fish with Randy Blaukat, and all he caught was a foul hooked carp!! Keep catching the Gina's, Ben!!! 😉

Video game fishing is fun! What happened to actually finding the fish?! That's like having Tony Stark glasses telling a batter exactly where the ball will be when it reaches them.... "Okay, so here's where you need to swing!" Or, a drone telling a hunter exactly where the deer are... oh wait, that's a thing too lol! I guess we're in an age where, "let the tech do the work for you" is okay lol 😂

What will you do when? You arrive at a favorite spot. To find its occupied. Skip that spot for now. Arrive at the next. Nobody is there. Includimg the numerous fish. Next spot is the same. So is the next. Head back to the first spot. Arrive the very moment to see 3 cast nets thrown while the front guy is livescoping the cove until its cleaned out. Its going to happen to someone some day. if it hasn't already. What would you do?

Worst kind of fishing experience is when the guide is up front doing all the fishing, going for all the big girls not letting the guest get them

[@MillikenFishing]

I let him cast to 75% of the big ones, maybe more. We didn’t think including casting and not catching fish would make a very interesting video. Also, wasn't a "guide" trip.

[@TheDeemerDifference]

@@MillikenFishingI guess that’s the distinction that it wasn’t a guide trip. The video made it seem like he was just watching you catch big ones. He did catch fish but it seemed like not the big ones like you. I guess we were rooting for him to catch a big Gina girl!

[@larrypierce1044]

If you get a chance to fish with someone like Ben, or any pro, you should be more concerned with learning than how many fish you catch. That man got a rare opportunity to gain unique knowledge. I’m betting Milliken shared some juice with him over a day of fishing that just wasn’t in this 20 minute video.
