I like the casual suggestion that Scott is jacked up on addys 😂 probably not wrong
💀
😂😂👏👏
YES!!! 😂
Lmao I never even thought about the possibility of the rall. It all makes sense now 😂
Lmao… lot more to that little part of his life that’s not talked about 😂😂😂😂😂 Please go to bed Scott 😆😂😂
Never was a big, "pod cast guy"...But I ABSOLUTELY LOVE what you guys are doing! Being a Lake Fork guy and big fan of Lee's didnt hurt either. But you 3 nailed it with this one. The Bass fishing community has been there done that when it comes to fishing programs and tournaments. This behind the scenes, a day in the life, sneak peak into your lives, that the 3 of you are bringing, is the new bleeding edge of professional fishing content. And as fan of the sport I thank you!
Awesome podcast as always! Love hearing the business/media/UA-cam side of the sport. Keep crushing it guys!
Always uplifting to read a comment from you! Thank you 🙏
34:54 YOU NAILED IT!! I would love to hang out and crack a Busch Light with this guy! Guy is like a inspiration and mentor to me💪🏼
I watch a ton of Miliken videos, and what I appreciate about his videos is he just fishes. Obviously the appeal is there with the big swim bait fishing style, but I enjoy watching guys just fish. Could care less about watching them catch a fish, but hearing what's going on in their head and seeing how they piece everything together that leads to their decision making is what I like to see. Milliken will suck and then go home and completely modify a swimbait and go back and crush them. That's good content. And like Lee said, he just fishes, doesn't matter if it's his back yard pond or catfishing with a hotdog.
Great video as usual. Yall are crushing it with quality interviews.
It pains me to put a video out where we aren’t catching. I feel like I’m failing the viewers but you’re right there’s a much bigger story than what I’m seeing
@Zaldaingerous the failures show me the grind behind what you guys do. Good example is the Live Mix option of BASS. I would much rather watch that then coverage that bounces around to guys only catching. Might be weird, but it's what I enjoy.
For all of us that aren’t getting to live this dream as of yet, we get to live vicariously through your videos and EVERYTHING good bad or indifferent.
🙏👊🏽
Awesome podcast! As a newer tour angler, a lot of this is very relatable! First 2 years, I lived right above the poverty line.
It’s a brutal game until you get your footing
@@Zaldaingerous yeah, it's brutal! Another thing is that a lot of people have no idea how hard it is to compete on lakes you've never been too. Been a long time since I met you at Havasu. Keep up the good work bro!
Great interview. I never miss a podcast.
That’s my friend, Lee!!! Zaldaingerous AND Lee?!? Two of my absolute favorites! 🎉
I love Trait’s Koe coozy!
I met Lee at the classic at Ray Roberts. Super down to earth guy and easy to talk to. Instantly became a huge Lee fan.
Y’all got one of the best sit down talk shows when it comes to fishing. Out side of my local Fishing The DMV I try not to miss an episode of the Bilge. Great content man!
That means a lot that you watch all the Bilge episodes. Hopefully we pick up the pace and start dropping more episodes. Our RV had a slide cable break Saturday morn so our podcast plans for this week got cancelled 😫
Dude, or Dudes, that was awesome. Lee was awesome. Trait had great questions.
All your podcasts are wicked awesome but this one sits near the top. The behind the scenes content is what keeps most of us coming back. I got caught last fall in 3 foot rollers in my 18 footer on Lake O out at the ducks. I can relate to the fear of getting home for sure . Keep the great shows coming.
Ducks is out there 👀 makes for a long white knuckle ride
Once again, 100% brutally honest podcast ..!
What you guys do is showing us the whole of the bass fishing world.
These are great, keep them coming. Lee is everything a true Bass professional should be.
He’s professional when the cameras roll and has that energy, passion and bigger picture mindset of what it takes to do something. It’s rare to have an angler who can win and understands the bigger pic
Yes!!! Please do the Fork collaborations!
This is only the second podcast of your channel I have watched. Very good podcast and I enjoy watching all three of y’all fishing. 👍👍
Definitely one of my favorite episodes of the podcast! His UA-cam is top notch quality! I think yall should have an episode where yall get someone to come on the podcast an interview you and trait.
I'm from alabama really like lee he's one of my favorites and yeah u camera man does a hell of a job👍
I’m ready to work Trait and Charles and Chris know I’m hungry
Love Trait always asking the hard hitting questions, much love from the north bay!
Didn't even think Lee had a channel. Now following!
Love all the videos Lee has put out they are freaking awesome! But like he said in offseason I would watch every video of him crappie, noodling, catfishing, yo yo’s. Whatever hell even running errands😂 man is funny as hell feel like we would be good buddies.
Great meeting ya yesterday Chris!
Cool to put a face to the screen name 👊🏽
It's cool to hear the ins and outs of sponsorships and behind the scenes stuff that the viewer doesn't really see.. great vid. 2 of my favorite pros in this vid!
Haven’t watched the show because it’s tough enough keeping up with the ones I do follow. But Lee’s one of my favorites so I watched and damn good show I’ll be tuning in!
We try to stay away from the usual fishing podcast stuff - plenty of guys already out there doing a great job. Trying to carve a little different niche with ours
very interesting content that sheds a lot of light about the financial side of being on tour. thanks and keep it up 👍
That’s our whole goal with the podcast, shed a little more light on the unspoken side of things
What a wild story, nothing scarier than 5 + waves in open water. Weather can turn on a dime. Makes you appreciate those guys on the Deadliest Catch.
It’s crazy how quick things can change
I think you two fishing together would be worth your efforts and definitely worth watching!
Awesome interview. Like how you guys ask the questions. Keep rocking it. Good luck at the Sabine!!
Lee gained a Lake Fork local follower.
Awesome podcast. Love Lee and his content. Like he said....love the "behind the scenes" stuff. Great job guys
ANOTHER great interview!
I watch Milliken for the content to answer your question.Y’all are crushing it by the way. Y’all meaning Lee , Trait and Chris. Good stuff.
cool seeing people from my neck of the woods make it, im loving this guys keep it up
casey donahew, koe, reed southall, turnpike, sam barber, oliver anthony, adam hood, bart crow, cameron sacky, cody jinks, colter wall, the damn quails, dolly shine. come on get educated zaldain!
I live in McKinney really close to Hank's Bar & Grill ! Next time you're there to visit your buddy holler !!
Can’t wait to watch this! Big Lee is the man!
They don’t call him “the people’s champ” for nothin’!
Zaldain you the man brother. Love the content, this podcast reminded me of the swim bait tournaments videos on fork. Hoping you’ll keep filmin tournament vids
Tournaments are still going to be filmed with Charles, but our once a month cinematic films are going to non-tourney vids from here out. Charles did the Lay Lake & the Murray vids, did you catch those?
Somehow I missed this show, but @zaldaingerous delivers again! You and Trait ask the BEST questions for real answers. Maybe on a future episode y'all can explain how boat deals actually work with memo bills, etc. Been there and done that on both sides - yet a lot of folks don't understand who they work.
As a former boat builder, I'd like to point out to Trait that engine issues and boat issues are 2 different things. 🤣
Lee absolutely cracks me up! He is so chill and relaxed until game day and time! Seems to be a great person just watching him interact with his travel buddies and how respectful he is to his competitors.
Lol he can get riled up if you tick him off 🤣
🤣
Would love to see more content with you and Lee. I’ve spent some time in Texas, but unfortunately wasn’t any fishing time. The Texas lakes have always fascinated me.
Love this pod! Lee is a awesome dude for sure!
A1 interview! Great insight and stories!
Yeah I couldn’t believe it when Robertson told me that on Day 3 of the Classic. Because Scott didn’t make the final day and didn’t send us out to cover Canterbury and Arey so I called Mandy and asked if she could put me with someone and she hooked me up. 💪🏻 that day was awesome. People really don’t understand him. He’s a really good dude.
Headed to PK right for the bassmaster kayak series event great interview
I ❤️ PK
My guy using battle born lithiums as his mic stands 😅 ballin.
That’s right ⚡️🎤
Lee is an awesome guy, I met him through Alex Finch! Both of you guys would be awesome to hang out with! Let us know when y’all meet up here in Texas, I don’t live very far from either of y’all!! Keep hammering guys!
Sounds like we’ve gotta get a tin boat up a river and run some lines 🍻
Great show 👏
These shows are so awesome
I got that dog Trait 💪🏻 Chris and Charles both know lol. I told them at santee I’d rather hold a camera at 40 then a a buffer detailing boats. It’s been awesome getting to learn from Macoy and Dylan. Hell Scott too when it comes to filming because he knows exactly what he wants and tells it clearly. And getting to learn from Canterbury and Arey as well on the fishing side has been a dream come true.
It’s rare to find anyone with that dog in them these days. A lot of soft hands carrying cameras
@@Zaldaingerous no doubt I told Dylan straight up you have it made. When he complained lol I said Ill take you me where your physically and mentally taxed lol. I want it more because I’ve worked with my hands
The only elite weigh in I’ve ever been to was to see Lee smoke em on fork last year. I was so pumped I went out there a few weeks after that and caught my PB!
DC and MD creek videos last summer where gold.
You killed it again.. keep them coming.
Thanks Mike 👊🏽 our rv slide cable broke (before we left for the derb) so this week’s podcast filming is delayed but hoping to get someone to the house to film one as soon as the Sabine derb raps up
@@Zaldaingerous good luck at the sabine
Classic in Nashville is very possible we got Center Hill, Old Hickory, Percy Priest, Tim’s Ford. All are big enough to host as they consistently have 150+ boat tournaments.
Interesting… Nashville would be a good host city
Noodling! We want a elite series noodling competition
That would be a blast. How many guys do you think wouldn’t partake??
Great one!! Need to definitely put out some off season content together 🙌
Amen man I can’t wait for the future collab for you guys. He said drinkin Busch light with our dogs in the boat lol
Good stuff...the boat story was great
Glad you enjoyed it
Dude whiskey meyers is my favorite band ever. Those dudes are incredible.
Excellent show !!
Appreciate it, Adam 👊🏽
Was rooming with Lee the night of Sabine bass champs, he said here are my keys in case we don’t make it back 😂 oh he was on EM for sure in practice . … another boat came back from there and their motor fell off completely ejected the boaters. They were okay.
One of the best podcasts ever
🙏👊🏽
New to your
Channel but really enjoying the Content! I think it would be awesome to see you and lee have a catfish derby! Thanks for what you do. I’m a fan !!
Busch light and crappie videos.... yes! Just yes!
Lee's the Man! Great interview!
Crushed it! Another great bilge in the books!
I remember that show it was pretty cool
Knocked it out of the park with Lee.
Favorite one yet! Have Feiderman on!
He’s def on our list of guests we want on
Loved this show👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Thanks 👊🏽
Sry I’m commenting as I’m watchin. But if I could go watch the bassmaster classic and whiskey myers in the same trip…. Literally my dream come true. 🤣 I could never top that.
Great interview
Was a fun interview to have. Trying to do more angler interviews
I would love to see you and lee do fishing on lake Fork or just any local lake there.
Lee is one of the guys that you just want to hang out and fish with. I’ve got a feeling will we do a little filming together outside of the elites
I'd love to see a lake fork show with u both
I agree!
Why aren’t these all being uploaded to Apple podcast? Hard to find time to watch, I always listen while I can while driving.
Trait’s working out a distribution deal to get them all on the audio platforms, but its taking a few more days than planned. Hopefully they’ll be everywhere any day
Fantastic love you guys 😊
👊🏽🙏
Another awesome podcast. Give Billy Strings a listen if you haven’t. 👍👍
Fishing vs real life= real life is what we need!
Agree 🙌
I’ve liked Livesay from the start of his elite career…….. I like him even more after watching this.
awesome podcast!!!
Killer! Love me some Lee!
Great interview! Would love to see Seth Fieder on!
He’s on the list of must have guests!
Enjoyed it!
Thanks Paul 👊🏽
Yall deff need to come to fork to do a kickass video. Jon boat cat fishing and bass fishing. Lol
Would be a good time, needs to happen
Great pod like to see you number the podcast for reference down the road. Come on big Chris end the podcast with a line like Thanks for watching The Bilge podcast I'm Chris she's Trait see ya!!!!
We want the beer in a John boat side!!!!
Zaldain you have an awesome wife that relationship is genuine ❤️ I love her point of view for the podcasts as well perfect energy for the show and discussions
Lee you need to do a show with Zaldain limb lining the Sabine in Longview then to the Reo afterwards….
best episode yet!
🙏👊🏽
Enjoyed this one. Could you occasionally pop up on screen your guests name?
Yes that’s an easy add… I think
The house content is some of the best footage. Scott Martin does a good job. Wheeler Connel and MDJ do a great job also.
Lake Lanier would work if not for the Atlanta traffic, you would have State Farm arena (where the Hawks play) or the Mercedes-Benz Dome plus the World Congress Center for the expo. But you might have angler boats still stuck in traffic Friday at 7 pm.
I would come unglued for a shot at a Classic on Lanier!! You’re right though, that ATL traffic is more than likely a deal breaker
I don’t think you guys understand our meaning of “behind the scenes”
We love this sport as much as you guys do. So when all I see is Calville Bay Windsor Big Break Cathrines marinas… we would love to see what launching is like at the Toledo Bend or even something as simple as a Lock. So yes… please show more of “behind the scenes”
Thanks for all you guys do… it’s amazing.
I hear you!
Lee's the 'DUDE' 🔥🔥🔥
Top Dude for sure
Come on Chris! You need to listen to Gary P Nunn, Larry Joe Taylor, Max Stalling, Jerry Jeff Walker, Roger Creager, Charlie Robison, Cross Canadian Ragweed Etc, etc.
I would love to see Chris, Lee, and Ben do a swim bait only tournament. That could get real interesting real quick
Sure would’ve loved seeing you in a Vexus
Y’all need to do all that 😂😂😂
RR come on Chris! Get on board with old school Texas red dirt
Good show, I think y’all should have a 6” minimum swim bait smack down on Ray Roberts or someplace neutral
Idk how neutral Ray Roberts is for either of us 😆 he’s won there, I’ve got a decent amount of time there too
