This VIOLENT Encounter on the water left me Speechless...

I've seen bass take down big bait fish...but never a 13-14" crappie in one head shot...

I’ve seen a lot of crappie/bluegill/Shad get munched…never one that big 😳😳 fish was a teener for sure

[@MrSalmon1982]

I have a video of a teener bass with a 11" bluegill that I hooked in it's mouth. Made it look like a toy

Hello, thanks for the videos. Are you adding weights to your jerkbaits to get them to deeper depths?

[@RYF716]

Oh man I haven’t fished Toledo bend since I was stationed at fort Polk. It’s a Great Lake from what I remember. Love watching your videos, keep up the great work!! Ny weather sux right now

Wut Ben, Slaw, and Mfers 💥 Them craps are not only delish but bout to be (if not already) spawning! Planning on getting some of those slabs this weekend in my son's (water tested lol) Lil Lip Ripper!🎣👊🏻. Good shit as always my dude!!!

About 13:30 minutes in on the clip. Ben casts and the camera shows his reel spool and it's almost empty. He casts the hole spool of line off.

[@WestCoastShamble]

I'm soooo jealous! That 11.7lbs is a lil less than a pound away from the Washington state record. A good day of fishing for me is a day on the water. A great day for me is catching anything 4+lbs. Hooking into what you caught would be a story I'd tell every day for the rest of my life. My personal best is 5lbs 14oz and I still dream of that catch. Thank you for showing me how it's done.

There is some pigs in that lake. Couple years ago I had a 9.13 and a 9.03 off that island in the back. Them changing the length limit several years ago definitely made a difference. Operation world record program made a big impact on it also.

[@clintonbruning]

I caught a big black crappie with a black line down his spine. I think it was a magnolia right? I lost a 8 and a 7 at the boat this week Ben…. I’ve been on them but they’ve been getting the best of me 😢. You hammered the bigs as usual.

do you keep the hangover bait an others like it just in your tackle box or store them where they don't dry out. i really like your videos. bob

[@datruthhurts3984]

Saw a six pound bass with a two pound bass in its throat surfaced one time just motionless.Thought they were both dead,pulled the 2lb out of its mouth and the six pounder sprung back to life and kicked away.Bass are crazy

[@colewhitehead3385]

Ben Toledo bend is an amazing lake. I make trips twice a year and we kill them. There is so much underwater obstruction great for fish.

[@jadeolin8514]

Titles pretty clickbaity tbh... Disappointing

[@thomasshileny4551]

One day 3 of us went fishing. We're coming off the marina and there was a grandkid furiously casting at a spot while grandpa looked on. We stopped and asked what was up. Grandpa said there was a huge northern eating a big largemouth and on que it surfaced. At least a 3' pike with a 16" plus bass halfway down it's gullet and it was struggling at the surface. Started debating of "whip the cell and wallet out and jump in throw it up on the bank for the kid" and then it disappeared. Didn't see it again. Awesome to see

[@michaelwillis4532]

Best of luck on Toledo bend. So many big fish spots that constantly produce. Someone will always stick em.

I see what you did there 😂😂. VIOLENT ENCOUNTER with thumbnail of the fans that rolled up and talked to you for a second. Good one Ben. I woulda watched anyways cuz Im addicted to the opens vids and your livescope vids, but I suppose it’s definitely a good way to draw in potential views from more people who aren’t subscribed and could be new subs.

Hey Ben I have a question because I am looking at getting the target lock for the live transducer. Do you think it is worth it to buy the active target or even the generic ones or do you think just putting it on the trolling motor is plenty enough? Because I noticed you have it on your trolling motor shaft.

Get a livescope. Mount it to the shaft. Throw that other shit in the trash 👍🏻😁
