dude world record american shad is 15lbs caught off the Atlantic coast (sea?) On the Kansas state records, I find no entry for American Shad. YOu might have the unofficial state record.
Awesome Ben. Just got back from the river slaying big ass flounder on lrf gear. Had a great day ant to walk in the house to watch that video. As always big thumbs up from the UK
Here in Wisconsin we carry bags of sand and blocks for the tires so the truck will not slide back when loading and unloading the boat. If you hook up a rope between the blocks and the back bumper, it makes it easy to drive forward by your self because it will pull the tire block with you.There are plenty wall of shame pictures of trucks that have gone in a the launches at the early and late season fishing spots. You should see the at the launch we call the Genoa ski jump, at a old power plant on the Mississippi river it is the steepest we have ever seen and drops in to a deep water side channel. You were very smart to shovel that deep of snow, that was to deep, you just needed a bag of sand. It is against the law to use salt in some places because of course it ends up in the lake water, and that is not good.
I winter fished a lot in the 80s & 90s and learned I needed to keep salt sand and tire chains on the truck. Chains on the front wheels when the lake got a south wind saved my but a few times.
Dude this is straight up the most hardcore badass fishing video I have seen. When your truck started sliding down the ramp I literally said "OH SH*T!".
Damnit man, glad you were able to get the boat out and didn’t need to call a tow truck. Dude that a huge shad !! 👊🏻 Great video man, hope you were able to find your camera (not sure if this video was before or after that)
I had this happen to us at Nantahala lake in North Carolina. Way up in the Mountains no one around. It was aweful. We had to go an hour and half to get salt. Then we were too late pulling out of there and we got stuck trying to go home. I know the pain. Fish and game guys saved our ass for sure with a wench. Only time I was glad to see them.
Fairly new to your channel. Finally tried out some 6 sense stuff. Love their products and can see why you stand behind them. Good luck out there in the snow
Dude that’s hardcore when you have to shovel off the boat ramp. That was an awesome outing. Even though it was a nasty Shad was pretty cool to catch one that big.
Hey quick question for the main man ive been watching your channel for a long time and ive finally picked up a few of your favorite baits I wanted to try. the 4in Ring fry and a few 6th sense lures are currently the ones I'm most excited to hit the water with any tips on rigging the ring fry maybe strait up texas rig or maybe put it on a carolina rig help a fellow fisherman rip some faces off and catch some slaunches any tips would be much appreciated.
I would like to see you come fish here in north east Arkansas and maybe meet you and give me some tips on bass fishing. Love watching you fish all these lakes and catching big bass. Keep em coming
it might sound weird, but you should carry a bucket of kitty litter with you. It is great to sprinkle on ice for added grip. I use it during the winter and it works wonders. Also I love the cops reaction when they see it in my vehicle.
dude that was a crazy day man! great fishing! monster shad and ya I would have been nervous about that boat ramp and I bet when you started sliding down the ramp you shit your pants just a little!! lol!
@@adamsmith8533 That little bit of salt is not going to hurt anything. How many million to billion gallons of water are in that lake? One acre foot of water has approximately 325,851 gallons. What alternatives do you have to melt snow/ice?
It looks like the white bass you caught looks like a fish we have in NewEnglands ocean water. I am speaking of a striped bass. I know they have stocked hybrids of the striped in fresh water. I live in New Hampshire and have fished both from a boat and in the surf. Your white bass look exactly like the smaller strippers. I enjoy every show you do. I do more fresh water more than salt and since I am now retired I get to fish a lot more. Glad to see someone who enjoys fishing
Yeah for sure just keep a bucket of cat litter in your vehicle. Here in Minnesota I always carry a large 5 gallon bucket of litter in truck for boat landings in Late fall early winter before there is to much ice for boat.
I used to throw minnow baits into that thin clear ice and make it look like it was flipping to get back in the water. Would get nailed when it fell into water. The best strikes would actually come right thru that thin ice! Try it!
Drop the small wheel on the front of the trailer, ties rope to the front of trailer. Hook it up to truck via the rope. Use truck to pull trailer and boat out. We do that in Hawaii when boat ramp is too slippery.
I could be wrong but your tires look like summer tires. If you ever plan on doing stuff like this again get some all season tires. I have seen a video copairing FWD all season tire car to the same make and model in AWD with summer tires and it is austounging.
Would like to see u use more live bait like crawl dads or blue gills and maybe go after some different types of fish every once in awhile but I enjoy watching
Nice gizzard shad man, I have gotten them here in southern New Jersey up to 3lbs. and 19'' long, big breeder fish, great catfish bait, bait for days on one single shad
Wow! I don't own a boat, but I love bass fishing. And I was thinking don't launch your boat, especially when I saw your Tahoe all 4 wheels locked and sliding I thought Shit, Tahoe is going into the lake. Glad U didn't lose your Tahoe. great video catching Stripers. I've never heard the term white bass before. In California we call those fish, stripers, short for striped bass. Must be 18" to keep in CA. It was a fun video to watch u knock them out one by one. Thx for the video.
That was the biggest damn Chad I've ever seen. I can't even find a record listing for Kansass unfortunately.
Milliken Fishing it may be that there isn’t a record and you could have possibly set the first one.
Where do you go for your wipers I live like 2 hours away from you and need some new fishing spots
dude
world record american shad is 15lbs caught off the Atlantic coast (sea?)
On the Kansas state records, I find no entry for American Shad.
YOu might have the unofficial state record.
Should of reported! Could of been in the record books!
It's funny when you say any price ending in .98 you know it came from Walmart. Nice catch Ben. Tight lines
12:30
Z M you r mvp
Why dank U k1nd sir
God Bless
Z M leg and
You are a friggin trooper. Shoveling, freezing temperatures. Catching fish!!! Awesome job Ben.
"NEVER GIVE UP"
Who clicked on this just to see how big the fish is
You should come to sooner lake in Oklahoma. It has a warm water discharge because of a power plant and you can fish the lake all winter
*"WE FOUND A BIG SCHOOL BUT WE CAN'T GET THEM TO BITE.CATCHING THEM IN THE TAIL IS JUST AS SPORTING........NO IT'S NOT!!!!"......BEN* 😂😂😂 *HILARIOUS*
Awesome Ben. Just got back from the river slaying big ass flounder on lrf gear. Had a great day ant to walk in the house to watch that video. As always big thumbs up from the UK
I always keep rock salt in the truck for the launches. I steelhead fish so it’s like that all winter for me. Rivers never freeze for long.
I love your vids man, always puts a smile on my face and makes me want to get out on the water and go fishing. 👍
Yessah!!!
That was some insane white bass find it's rare to find that many lunkers but every cast you had one very nice work
The elements of this video, the ramp, the cold, the fish... fantastic video. Huge like

Thanks for scooping our ramp.
HA!..you should apply for a kittie litter sponsor!...for tire traction at the ramp!! BRINGING TIDIE CAT INTO THE FISHING INDUSTRY!!
Dude this is straight up the most hardcore badass fishing video I have seen. When your truck started sliding down the ramp I literally said "OH SH*T!".
YOU DID IT DAD!!!!!!! ❤️
PigPatrolTV why didn’t dad bring you
Lmao
Haha that's great
Jr Lopez I was chillin with his granddaughter, aka my daughter, aka Kate the great

U should have left the snow there when you backed it down. It would have stopped the heavy chevy from sliden.
Damnit man, glad you were able to get the boat out and didn’t need to call a tow truck. Dude that a huge shad !! 👊🏻 Great video man, hope you were able to find your camera (not sure if this video was before or after that)
That boat ramp slide was crazy. I was freaking out for you!!!
thats an awesome catch! thats some dedication in the cold like that

Watching u brave the elements motivated me to go out and fish today.

Looks Like a fun day of fishing...... not shoveling or probably loading back up... awesome vid
Dude that’s hardcore when you have to shovel off the boat ramp. That was an awesome outing. Even though it was a nasty Shad was pretty cool to catch one that big.
When you got a shovel you should have got salt lol
2:06... my heart almost stop there... i thought the SUV gonna plunge into the lake... 😂😂😂 scary man
I laughed so hard when you threw that shad back in.
12.40...but who wants to skip these awesome videos. Thanks man
Looks like you need a bigger Hinkle Shad now!
Knowing I had to deal with that ramp on the return would have f*cked my entire day. Clearly it didnt affect yours. Big up for staying positive.
Sketchy my Man. Great extreme fishin, and I dig your vibe.
My last show though. Commercials. So many.
Your dedication is amazing!
I bet you shit your pants when you started sliding down that ramp xD
that is dedication and determination! I would have gave up when the ramp was iced over and 18 inches of snow
Glad you got your boat out. Little scary. Good fishing though. Tight lines man
Love your dedication man. That Shad was freaking huge !!! Always look forward to your videos. Keep up the great work 👍
Dope video man! Enjoy watching them
Nice fish and a huge Shad!!
Ya that boat launch was sketchy but...You did it!!!
You are a beast my friend. That slide down the ramp freaked me out just watching it.
Congratulations on your PB Shad!!!🎉🎉🎉
Doing a community service . What a Nice Guy... Way to go Mf'er..

Sometimes bad ideas turn into the most fun. Great video. Never Give Uuuuup!😁

Suggestion, light cotton gloves covered with latex gloves for washing dishes. And keep some 8-10 foot runners in the truck to drive on for traction.
That is dedication there good job glad you caught fish
Much LOVE Milliken FAM💪💜💯
You are the most 100 % hard core UA-cam fisherman.
Shane Schultz Besides AP of course
Nothing is more hardcore than surviving 24 hours at a pond in suburban Chicago in the summer.
Milliken Fishing Probably was only 2 hours too
Need to invite him on your next winter camp out.
Not at all, you've not watched Richard gene the fishing machine if you fucking think that
Believe it or not. Dumping water on a few inches of snow gives you good traction. Used to do that when ice fishing in MN.
What a shad man!!! Ice fishing with the Zark and the Stache!!!
If you want to keep your guides from icing over during the winter take a can of pam spray oil it's what we do in the pnw while inter steelhead fishing
Dude seriously dedicated and I love it! Keep killing it!
In winter ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS carry kitty litter to put under your tires for traction. Not to mention chains.
it might sound weird, but you should carry a bucket of kitty litter with you. It is great to sprinkle on ice for added grip. I use it during the winter and it works wonders. Also I love the cops reaction when they see it in my vehicle.
Dude the dedication man I love it
You da man! Dude, if you're near any rivers or creeks can you do a video now on how to catch smallmouth from the bank? I'm having a rough time!!!
dude that was a crazy day man! great fishing! monster shad and ya I would have been nervous about that boat ramp and I bet when you started sliding down the ramp you shit your pants just a little!! lol!
Keep rock salt with you throw it on the ramp to melt the ice while you fish or better before you launch
This! Get a 5 gallon bucket with a lid, or a tote, fill it with salt. Anytime it's under 32°, take it with you.
@@adamsmith8533 That little bit of salt is not going to hurt anything. How many million to billion gallons of water are in that lake? One acre foot of water has approximately 325,851 gallons.

@@adamsmith8533 Good luck too you sir!
Did not know that thanks
@@adamsmith8533 my pool takes like 80 kg of salt and it's only 10 meters long.
Love your videos, I'm a chef and a fishermen, I would love to spend a day catching fish and then cooking up a great meal.
Held my breathe watching the truck slide back....WHOOOOOOOOOO Ric Flair****
I feel your pain, i get nothing but rain and it’s cold, but I still make time to get out.

That was sick ben ..i mean only a sick person would fish in that weather but i loved it
Braving the conditions, good work!!! Love watching it.
Keep a few bags of salt and dirt in the back of the truck. Good stuff! Bet you were freakin a wee bit on The slide in lol
Snow chains are always good for boat ramps and muddy hills . That's how we do it in Cen Cal
Really must be fun snagging fish all day. What a real outdoorsman you are... But makes for a cool youtube channel, so good for you
Drop the small wheel on the front of the trailer, ties rope to the front of trailer. Hook it up to truck via the rope. Use truck to pull trailer and boat out. We do that in Hawaii when boat ramp is too slippery.
Nice catch man! Amazing how many and how big fishes you catch in this video! Greetings from Germany! :)
Excellent job keeping your cool and fishing through the stress. Cat fish catch and cook would be sweet.
You should come to Oregon and try your hand at some steelhead fishing
Ben
, do you change the position of the swivel for different techniques.... dragging, jigging, cranking?
Welcome to Milliken fishing I'm here with your boys The Dab Master and The Snag Master!. Gotta change your name to snag master now Milliken.
OK you definitely get a thumbs up for all the work you had to do just to go fishing 👊👍. Plus it was a great video as usual 😆
State record shad for sure !!! Awesome video watching here from Miami FL
Awesome bro glad to see you didn't lose the whip in the lake
Dude, all i can say is take a trip to South Florida and fish the everglades, big bass and there's absolutely no snow here.
Any vids you can do on the lake house, updates or ice fishing there?
U should show your riggin. But the all looked like they were snaged. Thats funny
Does that lake freeze? If it does you should ice fish it with minnows for the wipers and white bass with tip ups
I could be wrong but your tires look like summer tires. If you ever plan on doing stuff like this again get some all season tires. I have seen a video copairing FWD all season tire car to the same make and model in AWD with summer tires and it is austounging.
nice fishing ur mad brave props on that
I give you a lot of credit! True fisherman! 👍🏼
Would like to see u use more live bait like crawl dads or blue gills and maybe go after some different types of fish every once in awhile but I enjoy watching
Just a heads up...the link to you GoPro of choice in the Vlogging gear list goes to a camera lense.
Great real situation video man!
them secret ponds are the best. long walk to a pond means its not fished very much... keep up the great work bro
Sorry for the ice trouble but great video!
I love your videos I’ve been watching your channel for a long time & you really grown keep it up 🔥🎣
Winter fishing with boat launch requires always having a big bag of salt for the ramp.
Gosh damn it... really, a shad!! 🤣
You should do a hand line ice fishing challenge
Nice gizzard shad man, I have gotten them here in southern New Jersey up to 3lbs. and 19'' long, big breeder fish, great catfish bait, bait for days on one single shad
Damn Ben may need to resort to tips videos if the snow stays like this 😂
Breezy Angling We went north instead 😬
PigPatrolTV 😂😂 you guys need to high tail it south and switch to saltwater fishing for the winter!
Sketchiest boat launch ivd ever seen
Wow! I don't own a boat, but I love bass fishing. And I was thinking don't launch your boat, especially when I saw your Tahoe all 4 wheels locked and sliding I thought Shit, Tahoe is going into the lake.
