[@SmokeLakeCityBBQ]

Never thought when I first started watching you forever ago that you'd be tearing it up on the elite series!

[@nickbosworth6388]

Real ones knew…this dude is one of the best in the world already…

[@haroldrogers6566]

Ben’s come a long way as a fisherman and a young man since before he went YT full time.

[@Funwithhighnotes]

My thoughts exactly, I remember his video when he quit his job to do videos. it’s been fun to watch!

[@Kelly-ju1kw]

​@@nickbosworth6388lol ya ok bud...i guess you're the only real one here

[@DannyBFishing]

So dope to watch the journey!

[@TB-zw7dt]

The filming and editing is every bit as professional as the fishing talent. Amazing work for the whole team. It is truly fun to watch.

[@TB-zw7dt]

Oh, and hats off to Yamaha for their rapid response. Good thing they were handy getting you safely running.

[@Nate_Higgins]

100%

[@kidsandcars956]

Awesome that you take time for the fans 👍 congrats

[@TreybleRockLake]

42 years old and pretty much stopped watching BASS after the split because all the guys I grew up watching left… don’t hate BASS but love the MLF format. You’ve brought me back to actually tuning into the elites. Good luck at the classic next week.

[@bradmcmahon135]

Same here!

[@lbarcelow_fishing]

My favorite bass master elite series angler “Ben Millican”😂

[@gt_fishing]

I noticed that to😂

[@bmalone0688]

I bet that damn Randy took his fuel line off. He’s more against motors than he is FFS. Can’t believe he’s accomplished so much in a canoe! A true pioneer…

[@stevencroft4850]

It's refreshing to see you taking so much time out for your fans, those kids were in awe! Good luck the rest of the way.

[@messyfisherman4140]

The fact that you take the time to interact with all of your fans shows what a great guy you really are

[@deline8ed619]

Love the kid’s jaw drop. Mom filming and cool enough to let the little one represent an etsy custom made tee. Can’t wait to see the weekends reactions. Saw on Live and FS1 that it was packed. CLASSIC!!!!

[@johngilbert5352]

I've been watching you for at least 10 years and I have to say I'm so proud of you You are living my dream Always jonesing to see your next video

[@jessestyron3806]

Shout-out to my son Landon and good luck this weekend on his Bass tournament representing his Dad and his school!! Rip Some!!🎣💥❤. Youbeett

[@jessestyron3806]

@LSOutdoors9918. That's awesome Bud! I may have to go check it out and tell my son to also. Good luck to you! DEAL!

[@mikegross190]

Man the tournament videos are straight 🔥. Props to both you and Cole and everyone else involved.

[@joelbuff3254]

Toledo Ben does it again!

[@Gascan26]

It's great to see you doing what you do. Coleslaw is killing it and glad your still with us. Awesome shirt "I'm a MF'er"

[@Tbowie13]

Man dude, it's really been a pleasure watching him you rise to this. My mother got super excited last year as we'd sit and watch your videos. She had been diagnosed with brain cancer and went on hospice last Nov, lost her right Aptil 20th. The videos were really a high point for us. I wish she could see where you're at now, but we always believed in you. We always loved that down to earth no bs, acting like a bigshot, even though 99% of people would. Anyhow, knock it out of the park bro, I'll be cheering ya the whole way!

[@madmartigan4948]

Shake and bake baby love seeing the spillway master turn Elite

[@curvinh6289]

You made that kids whole year dude! 29.00

[@davewylie654]

All i can do is laugh when people say you are just some rich kid doing this as a hobby. As a guy who fishes for a living i see a shitload of hard work and a refusal to be average. Many days its all i can do to get myself the three miles to the boat (which is in a slip) you have cross country travel and the logistics of not just you but Cole etc. Congrats man you have EARNED the success you are having!! Every average and mundane angler loathes a winner !!

[@johnnytacle2430]

Dude you are hands down the best content creator on youtube, love you bro keep it up and win this thing man I know you can do it!!!!

[@MNSHONSNOW]

You just made that kids year with just a quick five! Keep grinding

[@dontnonowuno9953]

Never a doubt 👊🎣

[@Stubbyvegas]

Keep it up brother, following every minute!

[@Fishin-mission1]

What a surreal moment for you! Love what your doing! Keep up the hard work!!!

[@gregorymallory]

You're doing awesome Ben. Excited to see these tournament vids. Good luck to you.

[@MrCaissed]

Great start! Keep it going I’m pulling for you!!

[@NamathCB]

Love it! Keep it up this season Man!

[@JohnC34344]

I am really digging the tournament videos. Congratulations again man on the great start to your season! Good luck the rest of the way.

[@zachpatch8450]

Congratulations Sir! I hope you feel a little proud of your self, cause there's nobody that can deny the amount of time, energy, effort, and sacrifice that you have poured yourself into to get here. It's been absolutely amazing to watch you go from another nameless guy on KZbin, fishing mud puddles and drainage ditches, nearly a decade ago, to becoming the number one name in the mouths of 96 percent of everyone that's talking about the world of professional fishing. You give the average Joe hope, that if they apply themselves to realizing their wildest dreams, those aspirations can become very real. I can't imagine how it must have felt to take off that first morning, make your first cast, land that first Meredith... (That's what we call the slaunches in my corner of the spectrum.

[@mitchdyer7177]

Dude! KEEP IT UP. You are doing so well I’m cheering for you

[@joshualatka5851]

Congrats and good luck!

[@dennissigai2298]

This is awesome. I'm praying for you Ben. Good luck

[@TripEfishing]

I’ve absolutely loved watching you in the Elite series! You’ve came so far! Congrats man 💪 🎣

[@jeremyday7569]

Hey man, I've been a fan and subscriber since almost the beginning. I just want to say that I knew from day 1 you'd get to where you are now. I know, you don't know me and I don't know you, but I just want to say that I'm proud of you and glad my assumption was correct

[@ingelri2]

Your channel keeps getting better and better! Can't wait to see what's in store for you this season.

[@jeffstory140]

You are the man! I love it because you haven't forgotten where you come from and your hard work and dedication put you there!

[@jeremyzachariah6740]

Loving the fact that a KZbin guy I follow is fishing and knocking it out of the park in the elite series

[@bobrole9677]

Awesome Ben!.

[@racerxv6valvoline424]

Awesome first day Ben.... Keep it up.

[@PSPSALES]
