Bud I haven’t watched a bass master tournament since I was a kid watching Roland Martin and Jimmy Houston with my grandpa on Saturday morning. The camera guys in the boat with them big ass cameras the commentary in the 90s was just awesome. Been following for years and to see the guy I used to watch rip big ass catfish out of storm drains and pull massive trout through the ice fishing the same tournament I watched with my grandpa. You’re an inspiration brother!!! Good luck the rest of the season!!! YOU BETTTTT!!!!’n
Hi Ben, congratulations on the incredible finishes in the first two Elite Series events!!! As a 4-year fan from China, it was a special experience watching you growing from a 'Catfishing guy' (with Pig Patrol) to an Elite Series pro! Now more and more great Chinese anglers have known you since this year's Elite Series, hope you can come to visit China one day!!! Tight lines!!
I am a lifelong crappie fisherman and could care less about any bass, but I have learned so much from you on your electronics. Keep up the work and dedication, and keep f-ing them up.
Another banger. Keep on grinding cause it has paid off the first couple events. Gotta give props to Coleslaw for the amazing camera work and editing. How about those viewing numbers for the first 2 events. I have a feeling you are a driving force behind those numbers.
MF’r is on a roll!Hell yeah Ben I’ve got ya picked for the classic and rookie of the year plus I picked ya for Angler of the Year!!!Cole you’re FUKN killin it bro!Im 50yrs old an I’m living my dreams through ya guys.Keep it up guys.Good luck MF’r!
I’m telling ya, it’s the boat wrap that’s bringing all the good luck bro😂 I just knew when I seen my picture on the side of your boat you were doomed but now I’m thinking about buying some lottery tickets.
Ben I noticed that you're catching a bunch of the DDs on light tackle. Big fish big fights. Can't just horse em to the boat. Keep it up. I'm enjoying watching you live my dream!
What i’ve been waiting for..!! Haven’t even watched yet, about to. Paused it after the caravan intro.. Again, Congrats showing up at Toledo and Fork. Sitting pretty. Can’t wait for the Classic!! LETs GO.!! Thanks Cole, too!
@mercury57106 obviously. I was referring to refreshing the page on my phone to make sure it was actually up to date. But thank you for letting me know, I'd be lost without your helpful info
I appreciate the knowledge you drop in your videos. I watch a few other elite guys youtube channels and they don't paint a picture of their mindset like you do. Good work💪
Ben you are unique because you are such a thorough student of the sport. Your understanding of all aspects that can and do impact your chances to catch big fish is really mind blowing and a pleasure to watch. I've learned so much from you. Fuck any and all of the haters... you deserve all of the success you are having and all that you will have. Keep up the great work!
Proud to follow Cole is knocking it out of the park! Great video, sound etc! Good luck and thanks for all the work to help and entertain us . Good wishes at Grand!
I have allready watched both elite tournaments, bud I am rooting for you so hard you have no idea!!! Allready took vacation days so I can be left alone to drink cold ones and watch the entire classic lol...if you win this classic,I'm going to go bizerk,orr biz ZARK..YOUUUU BEEEET!!!
Love the start you're having! Two top tens, in the mix every minute. And all the ol'-timers flipping their lids at your success. Keep it going! I'm definitely pulling for you.
Great footage Ben and Cole!!!! I haven’t watched your show in a while but I am glad I watched this one!!! I had some good laughs and I enjoyed it all even though it was over an hour long. Thanks for showing us your practice days. I only fished Toledo bends twice because I live in Alaska. I think my wife was ready to leave me on day two! 😮 we were still dating back then but I dialed in on what they were biting on and I couldn’t let it go!! So I caught the numbers but no bigs! The day before every 4 plus pounder broke me off! So I upped my line and loaded up on lizards! 26 years later I still apologize for me being unreasonable to her! But I had a blast!!!
From filming spillways in Nebraska to a top elite series bass pro it's been awesome seeing your journey, keep up the good work! Just got in my Mfer spinning rod for some juggle minnow action up North and love the rod!
Man you have no idea how many kids and young adults have heard old heads go on UA-cam and say “you just don’t understand, you’ll never be able to fish professionally no matter what you do”. A lot of kids believed that, meanwhile you’re fresh off UA-cam dropping 30 racks on these old heads and inspiring the next generation. The game needed to be changed and I’m glad you’re leading that charge.
I've been watching them all rooting for you, can't wait for Grande lake of the cherokees the 22nd. Make the final day! Tell youtube to try and keep a live stream after fs1 cuts coverage instead of just 10 mins.
My MAN!!! Old time MFer here my dude 🌳😎🌲💪🏽. We appreciate you taking us with you. Over the years you’ve been an inspiration and the mindset is just amazing! From watching you fish on your lunch break to fishing the elites is what it’s about! Shout out to you for shaking up the game!!! 💪🏽 Keep’em cummin
We all need a few laid in clips of you doing a “bubbles” impression! I heard it, hahaha. Just gotta have the glasses! 1:05:45 “ big ol two and a half pounder” 😂😂😂
Your screens in the 1st part of u fishing ur turning into the hulk (green face) and uve hulk smashed ur two events congrats man ...hit hard in the classic
Really cool to watch Bassmaster & Milliken at the same time! Especially starting out in the Big Bass Factory of Texas! It’s the best start to a season live I believe I’ve ever witnessed. My game is turned up to as if it can’t get any better….catching my new PB and Gina’s on the daily 🤟🏼
Someone bought Cole some more expensive gear. Holy smokes man!! This is the highest quality, best shot, best edited fishing video I’ve eVer seen!!! Damn Cole!
Ben waiting on these to drop! Friggin stoked man!!! Stoked to see all the Gina's! #Hammer #6thSense Edit: I'm riding with you all season in Fantasy. Just saying 🤙
2 humble suggestions, just for the videos themselves: I dont think it's necessary to mute out profanity. I think most of us are adults and appreciate the rawness and transparency, I actually think it adds to the quality of the video, strangely. It's not like it's every other word out of Ben's mouth. Also, when other boaters/people yell across the water, it'd be awesome to see subtitles. Most of the time it's almost impossible to discern what they're saying, and it might not be as noticeable to you guys because you know what they said, since you were there. Good luck this season, my wife and I are pulling for you!
First time i willingly payed attention to a BASS event! Because of you good sir! F WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT BEN! My boy is a hammer and gonna keep shinning! YEAAAAHH BUUUD!!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👊🏾💪🏾
Bud I’m a 48 year old life long bass fisherman. The only reason I turned on BASS live is because you were catching them! Keep it up brother! Huge fan!
That’s bad ass dude 🤘🤘
Cole’s camera work n editing is getting crazy crazy good wow

Great stuff as always. It’s awesome to have you on the Elite 👊🏻
You're one of the few YTers I'll actually comment on 😂 sending blessings from bama! Love your stuff! Roll Tide Roll
Followed you all through the opens. Now two top ten Elites to start. So happy to see you show and prove in the big leagues. Proud to follow you.
I found his channel because a Karen called cops on him 😂 now he's in elites 😮😁👌
You were the only reason I turned on BASS live! Also the only reason I'll be flying out to the Bassmaster Classic! Cant wait!!! Yaa Bet
Great job brother! I’ve never been so ready for anyone’s tournament videos like this! This Milliken train is rolling and the season just started!

I was watching this bass masters tournament live and I saw you in it. Love your vids, big Fan.

Awesome start to the season, and best of luck at the Classic. You've been my pick to win on Grand sense you qualified👍
Keep slaying ‘em Ben!!!! I don’t miss a tournament cause you are getting after it.
I've been watching them all rooting for you, can't wait for Grande lake of the cherokees the 22nd. Make the final day! Tell youtube to try and keep a live stream after fs1 cuts coverage instead of just 10 mins.
Cole slaw is the man that makes it happen behind the scenes you owe that man like a dream vacation or some thing
Always happy when a guy is living his dream. Congrats on two great finishes.

Good Luck Ben👊

Good Luck brother
