You guys’ support is overwhelmingly amazing. Seriously thank you all SO MUCH for riding along through everything 🙌🏻 it’s been a long journey and I’m so happy you could all come along with me, because without your support none of this would be possible ❤️ THANK YOU!!!
THANK YOU for being a mentor, entertainer, etc! You deserve every blessing!
Go blow the competition out of the water!!!
@TheZeppelin14 You act like he's the only one. It's the name of the game now. Even with FFS...you still have to make them bite.
@TheZeppelin14 he's been doing it without the FFS for years. Why would he not use what EVERYONE else is using also?
@@TheZeppelin14 listen man, judging from your comment you don’t know much about fishing. It takes an exteme amount of talent and knowledge to do what Ben does. All live scope does is confirm the presence of fish. It takes knowledge of water temp, ambient temp, water conditions, weather, lunar cycle, life cycle, food cycle, local food source, plus 20 other things. Out of that you must figure out what they will bite and how to present it. Not to mention he spent near 40 hours pre-fishing this lake on his own time before the tournament. Live scope is just another aid like scent attractants are. If it were that much of game changer, every fisherman would be using it. So give the man some credit. There only one first place.
I'm not crying your crying. The moment he knew it was over is priceless! Coleslaw deserves an award for this video editing!!!!
I’ve been waiting for this last video to come out! I told my wife right when you announce that you were going to fish the bass masters tournaments you were going to kill it and win several tourneys. You are a absolute hammer of a fisherman and you make amazing content! Keep up the great work Ben! Your the man!!!
Well said. He works so dang hard at it. You can see the passion and determination so you know he will succeed.
We need the “After Party “ vid ! Fantastic job Ben and !!
Ya with that kind of passion the fish will be fighting to take Ben’s bait haha or just jumping in the live well
Why to go ben. You are the best.
You have heard it a million times already but congrats. I think what makes this so cool is that you have brought us all along with you and I think a part of all of us feel like you are out there doing it for all us little guys. I think its just awesome. Ive been following for years and this is a culmination of everything you have showed us all. Thank you for taking us on this ride with you!! And don't take the foot off the gas pedal. Hammer down on these guys at every lake and do not settle. You can be the best, ever, man!!!
Period. #ClassicBound
BEN!!! We are so freakin’ proud of you man. You crushed it. WIRE TO WIRE?? Holy shit man!! Can’t wait till the Big One. I feel in my gut that you will have more than one win this season. Thank you so much for sharing your life with us man!!!
Pack your bags for the classic sir!
Damn man, from fishing spillways to save fish to fishing from a homemade raft….. To this! Thank you for letting us tag along for this journey! So happy for you. You earned it all. I was wondering to myself if at any point will he think to himself “I’m finally here.’ And then a few minutes later it happened. Thank you for sharing that with us. Congratulation Ben 👏🎣🎣
I drop a like everytime and try to comment.
Years of absorbing your knowledge, trying to become better myself.
Insanely (third-person) proud of the progress and dedication!
Congrats!!!
Very few men have achieved their dream goal. You’re one of 5em. It’s been my pleasure to watch your success
Man been watching you for years . I remember one of the first videos was you quitting your job to fish … now Years later your doing every fisherman’s dream keep up the work man , proud of you !
Love seeing the emotion when you knew it was over. Just shows how much it means
Epic!!!!! What took you so long??? Lol... Fan for life!!! Great to see the family with you!!! Let's go!!!! What a dream come true!!
Three words. "Proof of Concept". You could teach a master class on reading graphs. Your willingness to use approaches others refuse. I'm so happy to see you get this. Also, want to thank you for leaving that emotional moment in your video. It's easy to forget the human element, but that moment really showed what this meant to you. Keep doing what you do. Can't wait to see the where your journey takes you.
I’ve never cried so much over a UA-cam video in my entire life lol. I’m so happy for you man, God bless you and your family bro. God is love and this is ALL love. Beautiful man. I’m definitely going to do this after I get out of my recovery program. I think you started something here that is going to feed more anglers and ex-athletes alike and on top of that inspiration you’re able to make such a huge impact on society it’s amazing dude congratulations on the open.
Congratulations Ben. You've worked hard and taught us a lot. Good luck in the Classic
"Mr Bass" Ben, I've been watching you for years, including many years back in Nebraska, and I know how much you have wanted this and how long you have prepared for this, so from the bottom of my heart, Congratulations! This is truly one of the coolest days ever. I'm a former soldier, law enforcement, and now that I am retired a fully ordained Pastor so when I found out you were going to fish this tournament I sort of said many prayers that you would finish in at least the top 3. Lol, I didn't want to say #1 and look greedy! 🤣 🤣 🤣 But hey you made it #1 Champion anyways! Congratulations, you so deserve it brother! Pastor Pete.
My heart is swollen! Noone deserves this more than this man right here! Congrats man we all knew you'd get it done! MF'ER NATION IS ON TOP!!!
@26:09 HELL YEAH BROTHER!!! im so damn excited for you my man, extremely happy to finally see you win what you deserve.... And thank you for not calling your fans wenners!!!! 🤘💪🤘💪🤘💪🤘💪🤘
“THE M.F. Fishing MACHINE BM.” Awesome, I’m so glad that you included your family in ALL your, deep respect!
I have absolutely loved watching your videos last 5 or 6 years. And seeing your career turn into what it has. The raw emotion you showed tells a hell of a story. Awesome win, now keep hammering. Aint done yet.
We could see you being mentioned in the same conversations as guys like Ike, Skeet, KVD, and all the GOATs one day! You definitely have the potential, just keep chasing your dream man! Another great video as always! Congrats on the big win!
Crying right now watching this vid!!! All I can think about is screaming your last name!! Milliken!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your family and your ancestors would be so proud!!! I love it!!! Milliken!!!!!!!!!!!!
So very proud of you sir. I’ve been watching you for over 5 years and your are the reason I got back into fishing again.
Ben I've been watching and following you for about 6 years now. I new you where going to do great when you decide to fish the opens. I watched live feed every day and new you had already won before watching your videos. But still watching you fish in this video and now what you were going through when you teared up on the deck after catching the right fish. Just knowing you had just made your dream come true made me tear up like it did you. I tournament fished on and off for 30 years. I won a flw event in 2013 and had the same feeling. Congratulations and keep rippin lips.
Man...the emotion...you can tell it was a life long achievement...my allergies are acting up...LFG...on to the next
Congratulations, Ben! It's been a lot of work and a long road. But sir, you are living it. MFer nation
I know this is a little late but congrats man. You killed it. I'm an old Marine and I work outside for a living now so I don't get to keep up with you guys like I use to but I've been following you/watching your videos for a few years now, way back before you made your move to Texas . I remember watching you and your buddy fish Derby's and were whipping everyone up there in Nebraska and wherever else you guys fished! Again congrats on the win, on the Classic berth! And Congrats on making the Elite Series! Not everyone can even come close to doing what you have done this year. Best of luck in both the Elites and the Classic! Stay safe out there on and off the water. Semper Fi from an old Marine!
Love the fact that you dont have the fancy wrapped boat, fancy wrapped truck, crazy sponsor Jersey and you are kicking ass! Keep it up!
Ben is the MJ of bass fishing and I’m glad I have watched him from the jump! About to take over bass fishing and help the entire industry!
I been waiting to see this man’s channel get over 500k for what seems over a year. Blew my mind that he hadn’t by now. Man wins one open, boom it happens! Congrats on winning and your channel growing! Wait til you finish the season. Your growth will be exponential!💪🏼💪🏼
Congratulations Mr. Milliken. My favorite part is seeing you get choked up after you knew it was over. Been a fan forever. And will continue to be one. Again congrats.
Nice going Ben! I think you are the technical bass fishing king . You are now officially LEGIT !
THE CULMINATION of countless hours behind the screen, behind the wheel, with a rod in your hand. KEEP IT UP MF’er 🤘🤘🤘
Congrats. It’s kind of amazing to watch your success this year. Love the Orkin Commercial too! But the moment when you realized you were going to qualifying,a nd you needed a moment to collect yourself made me appreciate you even that much more. Even though we fish an entirely different technique, I 100% admire what you’ve built and how you’ve done it. Keep on rocking and making noise on the tournament trail. You’re a huge inspiration to so many anglers.
You absolutely laid it to em' Benjamin. Congratulations buddy. Keep givin' em' hell
It IS kind of crazy for long term viewers. I found your channel years ago when I was working a construction project on Offutt and was spending a lot of time in the Omaha area. You were just going fishing like a regular guy. I loved your videos with Josh. A lot of them were just 2 regular guys hitting banks and fishing for what was there. I'm really happy for your recent success. Congratulations man.
Making me tear up man I’m so happy for you.
Congrats Ben!! My son and I have been following you for a few years now. We're excited to see you succeed and grow your brand into what you've become. All do to a TON of hard work!! You earned it!! Congrats again.
Youbeeett!!! I've watched every single one of your videos for the past ....damn...5 or 6 years. So damn proud of you and all your accomplishments man. I hope I get to meet you one day. I'm in Illinois though. Whatever...congrats man. You're a beast. I knew you would pull it off.
Been waiting my whole life to see a true champion born from hard work in this sport! Make your mark on this sport! Keep the focus, hall of fame or nothing!
Came here for the moment of realization that your dream was coming true. It absolutely did not disappoint. Congrats on the achievement and thanks for taking us along for the ride. I might be a 712...but in this case I can show some love for the 402
It's so freaking awesome you went from a UA-cam fisherman to the best in two tournaments!!
No one deserves it more than you Ben! You've been the best for some time and now it's all coming to fruition. Congrats! The cash is kinda nice too!
Didn’t even have to break out the Cajun quail eggs had it wrapped up by 10:30 in the morning wire the wire leader dominated 2nd bass master open tournament in his career top five and then first place this guy is absolutely incredible I guarantee next year he’s going to be in the elites and the sponsors are going to be drooling over him he’s going to have 2 million subscribers and be the most popular angler going. Wishing you all the best. I just bought my 16 year old his first bass boat you’re his idol we love your content so much he was freaking out watching the wiegh in anyway I just bought his first bass boat that’s his own and I’m gonna completely deck it out with all 6th sense baits and MF’er rods for his birthday in June thank you brother you’re one bad MF’er
So heartwarming to see the end result with the whole fam standing with you at the end! Congratulations! Hope to see many more results like that ✊🏽
I knew you'd be at this point from watching you pond hop all these years man! You better get a set of dumbbells in that boat and find time to use them because the amount of trophies you will be holding in the near future is gonna be INSANE! Keep it up buddy!
Ben I know I say this a lot your the best. To watch you the last 4 years from fishing docks in Nebraska to winning a spot in the bassmasters classic it's been an honor to watch you
A LEGEND IN THE MAKING, BEN! Man, I’m proud to be a MF’er that’s been watching you since the beginning……fishing hidden spillways and such.
Congratulations on hard work, timing, patience, and persistence.
Dreams do come true!!!!
You deserve it, young man.
OG subscriber
Jesus, Ben. Never thought i'd get goosebumps watching one of your videos, but seeing you hoist that trophy in the air......dang.....felt like a win for all the MFers out there. Make us proud, dad!
Favorite video so far that moment of you getting choked up was the moment you knew your dreams came true ..comin for the classic
Great job. Congratulations!
Small feedback - Hope you guys add a time stamp for each stop during the day in future tournaments. It would give us a better overall context and experience. 😊
Congratulations Ben!!!!!! you have been grinding for so long! Even almost died doing what you love! Way to put in the work and catch some donks!!! I have learned a lot from you so thank you so much!!!!
Bro the minute you started taking deep breaths I could feel all the emotions you were experiencing and I ain't gonna lie it choked me up. Congrats man you put on a clinic and I know you're absolutely ecstatic . Letssss gooooo.
Had to cast this one to the big TV. Tight lines and good luck to you sir. I don't even fish for bass but always seem to learn something new and relevant from every video
I told my kids at school about you! Smashed 'em. Very proud of you bro.--Cuda
Seriously, mad props on the fishing…but bigger props for having the kiddo in a vest on the dock!
Congrats Ben!! From UNO bass team to making the Classic. First class all the way!
I’ve been watching since I can remember. I’ve grown up watching you because your hilarious and from the same area I am. It has been an honor watching you grow and watching your journey. Can’t think of anyone else more deserving Mr. Milliken! Congrats!
I've been watching since the I quit my job video.. I so happy to see you finally getting your shot at the big time... boat flips only big dog...
Congrats Ben, i envy 2 things. #1 your skills as an angler #2 having an amazing wife that supports you and strives in your success cause y'all are a true team. Happy for you bud.
Way to go Ben. You're the best. Love the videos.
Congratulations Champ. Way to make your dreams reality. Best wishes moving forward.
Dont think we didnt see you have a moment when you realized you had this this thing wrapped up. im happy for you man. i have been watching along time thru all the haters i always knew you were a stick and im really not surprised at all. you deserve this. Congratulations.
I've been watching you since before you quit your job to pursue your passion full time. I've waited patiently for this day, because I knew it was coming. Congratulations brother! You deserve it!
I fkcn love this dude. Drops a “uuu beeet” comin off stage 🤣So weird to have watched so long, that I actually feel like I share his excitement winning this one. Awesome start man, keep it rollin! Dude you killed me talkin to the official 🤣🤣🤣🤣 This dude is absolutely coming for everyone, the next few years are going to be amazing to watch Ben Milliken is on another level.
Love ya man! Congratulations! You’re the only freshwater guy I watch. I started off freshwater fishing but now I’m strictly saltwater but I’ll never forget where I started . Great content.
When you can't help but to smile! Way to go brother! What a great Martial to be paired with.
Again thanks for the journey. It’s amazing to see a boy in a man’s body reach his dream of fishing in the Bass Master Classic. We old men could feel the emotions when you had to sit down for a minute. Can’t wait till the next tournament journey. Thanks again Ben 😁👍
Holy smokes, Ben! What an amazing achievement… and very well deserved. I’ve been a fan since the “Walmart challenge days” and “catch n cooks” in Nebraska. I was thrilled when you moved down here near me in Texas, and I’ve enjoyed watching you grow as a fisherman. Proud of you, brother. Cant wait to see what you do next.
Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! Great win! Really appreciate how you don't hide things and really help others. #MillikenFishing rocks!
Living the dream! Congrats on winning the Open and for punching the ticket to the Classic. Now just fish out the rest of the Open schedule and get that next ticket to the Elites! I like so many others here are proud of you, watching you pretty much grow to where you are now, bringing us along like family... Thank you and cant wait to see you here in South Carolina some day soon.
Ben.. your life is writing a badass movie right now.. I've been following for 4 years and I'm just so happy for you. My entire family and work staff know about you now. I just had to tell them. I was like mannnn this dude I've been watching bassfish for years just pulled off some amazing Cinderella story shit and he just started! I mostly watch him cuz he's a really cool cat,he loves prof, and his videos make you feel like you're hanging out with him. I've never met the guy but I've watched him so much I really feel like I do know the guy. He's taking a lot of risks and he's done a lot of work and to see this happen I really feel like all of a sudden everything is right with the world for just one small moment. The results he comes up with in these tournaments are exactly what they should be for someone who has been all in on his decisions as far as his career and bass fishing go.
Knew you would win soon proud of u man just started watching you about a year ago I kept asking myself why is guy not fishing professionally and now you are keep it going I know it’s tough out there but you can do it !!
Congrats Ben! Biggest Triceps in Bassin'
Congrats Again Ben 🏆 Knew You Could As Much Work You Have Put In Awesome & Cole...😉🍻🎣💪🏽
Dude that’s badass man! You’re putting 402 on the map for fishing and I love it! It’s always been one of my dreams to get paid to fish and becoming a MWC Champion! For those that don’t know, it stands for, Master Walleye Circuit Champion! Well buddy, keep up the great work and as always, GO BIG RED!!!!
All the tiny creek videos, ice fishing finally got added up to this. Congratulations on a great job this week, and many more great things to come.
Best part is watching you realize your dream you have been chasing has come to fruition. Amazing to see and you out in the dang work Ben. Watched you win live and love watching it from your boat. Can’t wait to continue to watch your journey!
This Marshall loved you BENNY!
Great work and CONGRATS CHAMP!
I think I’ve watched every video I live up north, MA north but still have caught bigger fish because of how I’ve changed the presentation of my bait. Thanks Ben
I've watched this vid a couple of times now. It's awesome to see someone reach a goal that they have had their eyes on for a long time.
I have been watching you since 2017. Your videos on the three knots!! I watched the online video of weigh-ins and my girlfriend saw me get tears for the first time! I understand the way you felt when you realized you punched your ticket to the classic! I will be watching 2024!! YOU BET!! Slaunch slayer! Thank for sharing your journey!!!
13:34 when it sets in you are going to the Classic! Proud of ya Bud!
Im so freakin proud of you dude i started crying when you did!!

IF YOU HAVE A HEART & SOUL THEN YOU HAD TEARS ON YOURE CHEEKS LIKE MYSELF !!! BEN IS A MAN AMONGST MEN IN THIS SPORT SO PROUD & HAPPY FOR HIM & HIS FAMILY !!!!!!!
Congratulations brother you deserve it all and so much more
To see those emotions makes you a true CHAMPION.CONGRATSNFROM MY HEART AND SOUL TO YOU BEN MILLIKEN. YOU DESERVE IT. I THINK YOUR ONE OF THE BEST TO EVER BASS FISH AT LEAST THAT MY EYES HAVE SEEN AND IM 51
U know sometimes we just want to watch.some of the elements of catching fish I was doing 30 years ago I’ve had over 20 surgery so much back at just watching his videos. Give me an inspiration to try to get my boat back in the water. Don’t charge us too much money to watch you catch fish the German one in we were sure on the other it is magical.
Ancohol
Ben I've been a subscriber since 2016. One of the first few videos I watched was of you and Zark fishing beds in a tournament and you top 4 fishing knots video. I'm really happy to see you succeed and come this far. What id give to see all the haters tears. You've been a great teacher for me and provided years of entertainment and motivation to keep fishing. I miss the days of you and Porn Stache fishing nasty old Nebraska spillways with just a bag of walmart tackle and an idea for a video but this is next level shit. I'm happy for you and your family. Good luck in the next part of the tournament. Ill be rooting for you! Watching this made me a bit sad that I lost my hat I bought when you first released merch. I lost it when it blew off my head while kayaking.
Never been so happy for another man’s success. Keep killing it Ben!!
All that fishing at Carter Lake has paid off. The fundamentals won that for you. Way to represent us here in the Omaha area.
💪
50years of fishin off shore is the best.
Man I am watching your video and got the tv on as well and all the sudden I see you flipping wood on a Orkin commercial. Been watching you for a while now bro, proud of what you have done for yourself and family. Awesome!
Congratulations man! I sincerely think you are the next big thing in the sport.
We appreciate you Ben. From bank fishing till now. Thank you for the ride, lessons, and being an awesome dude.
Love when people that work hard get what they deserve. Great job and congratulations!!!
Congrats Ben! Stumbling onto one of your vids a couple years ago got me into the sport and I’m so glad you are continuing this journey! Cant wait for the classic🫡
WWWW's for you entertaining Bonnie all day as well! Congrats Ben, it has been a blast watching you evolve!
Congratulations Ben. It’s nice to see a lifetime of fishing finally paying off. Wishing you more success in the future.
