BEN MILLIKEN winning moment Toledo Bend (Backstage Footage)

I flew down to Toledo Bend to watch my good friend Ben Milliken win his first Bassmaster's Open tournament giving him a berth to the 2024 Bassmaster's Classic! We had a great time celebrating the win and being there to support him! We are excited to watch him progress and have much more success in his career!

Ben is what Bassmaster needs! So happy to see him crushing it.

[@scottwolf6234]

We have been on the same thought. I agree. He brings more eyes and shows he isn’t just a UA-camr …. Dude is a legit HAMMER

[@eddiefason3783]

Mannnn....soooo glad you did this. Everyone needs folks like yall in their corner. What an awesome moment to share.

[@Tbowie13]

Man Bro, I'm so glad you made it to TB to witness that! I've been threatening to come fish with ya for some time. As I had told ya in a past comment I came to Arkansas from NC to help my Mother who was fighting brain cancer since November. Momma went with the Lord April 20, so I'll be heading back to the Carolinas soon. I'll be calling ya to line up a trip pretty soon. Thanks for the behind the scenes!

[@The_Bass_Stunters]

Absolutely STOKED for Big Ben bro! He absolutely deserves it! NOW I hope he takes the classic next year!

[@kellymoore4517]

Ben made short work of earning a trip to the classic, dang proud!

Man I was 20 min from y’all , I was raised on that lake !! Love it congrats 🎉

[@jeremyharris5176]

Thank you for sharing man. Really cool to see good friends hanging out for such a big moment. I can’t imagine how good it must of felt for you to be there to support your boy!

[@troycote4503]

That's so awesome Austin! He's the real deal for sure. I was a fan of yours before Ben and I for whatever reason assumed all he did was live scope private lakes in Texas but it's simply untrue. He's the real deal, and I tune into to both of your channels. I can't believe I casted off my Hinkle Shad wrapped by Stanley Wheat given to me by Johnny Ellis!! 😢 Alright, I'm all over the place. Love both of your channels, and together, you put on some great footage!

[@allenfields9058]

Good job. A true friend is there during the good, but especially during the bad.

[@haroldrogers6566]

Great job being a friend to Ben. Nothing like good friends. Two of the most enthusiastic and entertaining UA-camr fisherman’s. Ben showed the findings last night and you show the winning, spent way too much time with my phone thanks to you two guys 😂😂😁👍👍
