I enjoyed the talk about the UA-cam grind. Most don’t know how hard it is until they try to do it….
No way .. it’s a license to print 💰💰😂
@@jamiebrucefishing Hah!!
@@jamiebrucefishingMost people don’t understand how hard it is just to remember to turn the cameras on when you’re amped up to go fishing, much less the editing and rendering the product. 90% I forget to turn the camera on. LOL
@@rustyscopano2667 omg I do this all the time and forget to turn the camera on😂
Great to hear a real conversation between 2 fishin guys. Another great podcast Mr. Bruce. Keep 'em comin bud
Appreciate it Grant !
Enjoyed the show boys, Was glad to hear someone in the industry finally mention the private equity companies that own everything.
More people need to be talking about this. Right now there’s 2 groups of people in the industry- the fisherman/consumers that don’t have the business mind to understand the massive negative impact of having a sport strictly funded by corporate entities that don’t care about the sport…and the guys that do, but they’ll get fired if they speak up 🤷🏻♂️
You are spot on Ben, we as consumers have to take a stand against China and the corporate money grubbers that have the anglers and the leagues by the balls. I will be happy to join you in this effort any way I can. Best of luck in 2024
Bassmaster has an opportunity here to buy up the mlf brand and have a mega tour. They could have Bassmaster east and west to finally have a big tour trail out west. They can have the western tournament trail and the east trail then have the Classic be a true super bowl type tournament.
Wouldn’t be surprised if it happened one day
That was actually one of Ray Scott’s visions or dreams. I heard him speak about how he would like to see an east/west trail series with a “Super Bowl” year end.
Boyd probably go out of business before selling to bass lol
Great show. Glad he gave you some props too, you had an impressive season. Great chirps about the industry, gonna be an interesting shake at er next year and fun to watch.
Thanks man.. usually an easy conversation with Milliken . Hope everything is going well on your end
Lots of inside baseball in this one. Very interesting. Great content!
Appreciate it FunkE!
Sounds like a pod cast with Trailor park boys and Julian with the way milllikans ice is shaking in the cup 😂
Haha I guess that makes my Ricky
OR BUBBLES ..😂
Could u imagine the trailer park boys fishing in a boat. Julian missing fish cause he boozin Ricky tangled in line falling in the lake and Bubbles trying to teach em both how to fish. Lol
I’d love to take them !😂
You placing in the teens over all is 10x more impressive than anyone in the top ten .. if people actually realized how much you dont know about fishing in the south and were still able to pull off what you did they'd be terrified of that lund rollin down the ramp lol
Hahaha appreciate that bud !
Fishing in the south is not different than the north, it's just harder to catch them because it's so much more pressured. Overall a bass is a bass, plus most of the largemouth are northern strain and spots are so mean they'll bite anything most times
@@Mjones8383false
@@Mjones8383and you've proved that how many times?
Enjoyed the conversation with Ben. Best to both of you next year.
Appreciate it Richard !
Ben is an interesting guy. Love that he’s happy catching everything. Getting after bass, catfish, crappie, trout, and anything else around. Think it’s served him well chasing bass professionally and very confident he’s going to be very good on the elites.
Great episode 👏, best part of my drive to Kenora each week is having solid podcasts while cruising through the rockcuts
Thanks man - safe travels !
I like this effin guy man , Followed him before his big season and enjoyed his vids , 1st time seeing him on a pod cast much respect he's always real .. I wana go. smelt fishing an hang out with this dude 'n thanks for the entertainment!! ps i'm a fan of you as well Jamie !! woooooo Get the net !!
👊
Great show Ben is a stick looking forward to next year
Thanks Randy / should be fun to watch !
Nice to mention the two locals who won the Fort Francis tournament. Unfortunately, Clint Barton passed away about a month or so ago after a battle with cancer. Was a good dude.
He sure was. I was lucky enough to meet him once and fish a tournament with his son. Good people.
12/2/23 watching this video and most anything that I find of yours. I love the way you stand up to the big boys! I wish you the best of luck this year coming forward! I’ll be watching even if every one else stops!
Glad to hear it - appreciate it Johnnie !
What a great episode Jamie!
Appreciate it man!
Haha the Zaldain comment was hilarious
Podcast isn’t up on spotify just so ya know, love your stuff, gets me through a long night at work!
it's up now.. usually a few days to a week delay from youtube! Have a good shift, I don't miss the night shift!
The camera guy “thing” took off in the late 1990’s with the Japanese invasion, on the Open trail. They would bring at least 6 or more people to report, back to Japan, photograph for newspapers and magazines, along with daily interviews for the Japanese fans….
Definitely a lot of what we do now comes from the Japanese crew
Get Ben to take a trip up there. I’ve tried to tell him how good the fishing is on Lake of the Woods. It would be sick to see him throw swimbaits at 4’ muskies
I fish in the same couple series Ben used to fish in Nebraska and I remember the exact example he’s talking about in 28:30 he caught 22 pounds, which is pretty much unheard of where we are from, and the next week like 8 guys are on his shit so he just slides up shallow and beats us all ripping a chatterbait through the grass. I remember taking him out ice fishing on a local lake and just whacking them and then 10 shacks are exactly where we were set up the day after the vid dropped.
Hahaha what a wild deal! Woods would be a good stop for him for sure .. ol boy is gonna have another busy year though!
Great 'keeping it real' episode!....
Thanks John!
Aaron Martens did it all before he turned 18 in California, without FFS.
I just ordered 3 gilliken square bills. Somebody pay this man!!!!!! He has the power!!!
Hahah! That’s awesome . I might need one too
Great conversation! Hate the edits! Doesn’t feel like an hour wasted tho so thank you…
I'm really looking foward to see Ben in the elites...and at the classic
Me too Bobby!
I can't wait for the classic because Ben will go big or go home and won't be as conservative as much anglers will be
“I would never give this guy a nickel either” ouch! Being that I believe Milliken’s Waterland company sponsors Jacob. 😂
I’d definitely give that one a fact check !
Hey Ben, is that Bourbon ??
Jamie Bruce - Man I don't know if you got it in you but if you do.. I think you have an incredible chance to make the elites if you fished the EQ's again this year. You came so close last year.
Ben tells the truth im not that great of a fisherman doing UA-cam is tough can't imagine how much time and effort he puts in at his level me personally I do it because I love it otherwise id of quit a long time ago editing itself is a huge job especially making content that people actually watch if you go to analytics that shit hurts they click skip and ship no comments or likes weeee I love it lol great video brother keep it coming
Jam up podcast buddy Ben Milliken will be the next big thing. I hope he does real well in the classic. I’d like to see him win and I can guarantee he will shake things up with Elite series.
Thanks Ron - there will be a shake up for sure !
Jamie let’s say you did finish high enough for the invite would you have went for it or stayed with the starting a family plan ? I’m sure you had it all sorted out but just wondering 👍👍👍
Hey Glenn, I would have went but would have missed the first two tournaments, which would have made it a lot tougher to stick around without getting kicked out
Fantastic podcast, you know it’s good when you need to have multiple cuts 😂.
What a joke that a company cancelled a deal with Milliken over a boat and truck wrap. Ben is 100% correct when he says jerseys and wraps move zero product.
😂appreciate it MJ . Pretty wild stuff !
Kill Tony is awesome. Will be there for new years eve!
That’s awesome . I’ll be in the alley 😂
Bradly is better to listen to than any podcast or youtube video ever! Next time you have him on we want to call in!
Agreed!
Ben is hammered! Lol
We’re just having a casual Monday eve 😅
It’s so weird that you and gussy can come to the south and catch them. The fish up north are so easy to catch . How do you deal with the awful fishing down south coming from the best fishing in North American?
It’s not easy, but the competitive drive makes it all relative !
I'm from pa * And I can guarantee that it's not as easy as you think ! Come here in the summer *on some of these smaller lakes < And you wont catch 5 keepers in a week !
Who’s Gary B?
His truck and boat was wrapped by Pro Choice so no idea why anyone would not think he was not sponsored by them
I think you just proved @millikenfishing ‘S point about billboard advertising
@@jamiebrucefishing Ben is certainly entitled to his opinion. but just because you catch fish doesn't mean you know business 😜 Not all business are the same. A boat dealer is not the same as a bait company releasing products continually and if wraps didn't work why are boats and trucks wrapped? Someone alot smarter than us has determined that they work. I found it interesting Ben took a shot just like Foutz did and those of us on You Tube that have channels that "can't fish". Lots of guys can fish but doesn't mean they educate, inform others. I would argue many channels are nothing more than entertainment oriented showing people all fish they catch but don't teach anyone anything. I think that's why Tactical Bassin is so respected by community.
@@J.L.ScottFishingconsidering he owns a company and sponsors anglers I think he knows more about the business than most of us
@@devinwillis7787 So you would take financial advice or investment advice on markets from an angler or someone whom invested in or was given a share of a bait company over a financial advisor or planner?
When a company is in trouble in the bait segment they don't call anglers ; they call investment and capital advisors which in turn guide them to the means of saving their business. I guess Ben opposes the purchase of all the companies invested in by private equity yet where did his own company and sponsors get capital funding from for capturing market share in their space or to finance inventory development?
@@J.L.ScottFishing depends what your goals are. Private equity wants to make the most money then sell. That’s not good for the fishing industry long term and I cannot understand how anyone thing accountants and financial planners will improve the fishing industry in any way other than extracting the most money they can from their consumers.
Ben run a sunglass company. I think he knows how business works. He isn’t some angler he just happens to also be good at fishing
Go Texas Longhorns. Jimmy GA. Ben my buddy. Where I graduated.
👊
😮 whiskey man dont you play that hand too long
I did that tournament.
Came in 3rd. Last. Lol
Haha ! Which one ?
Fort Frances one. I’m not a bass fisherman. My nephew wanted to give it a go. We had a blast.
Fuck is the most diverse word in the English language 😅
This podcast would be 10x better if you didnt cut it rite after that zaldain comment lmao
Probably was a bathroom break !
@@jamiebrucefishing lmao riiiitte
Great episode. Would have liked to hear what was cut out after Ben mentioned the Zaldains 😂
Sometimes we gotta have side bar conversations !
It's not the fish catching I come back for it's the personalities. You could be the best fisherman in the world but if you come off as an ass I toon out.
Appreciate that 👊👊
I disagree with the “doors almost closed” thought. I’m subscribed to about 50 channels and there just isn’t enough content put out on a regular basis to fulfill my UA-cam time. Most “good” channels only put one full video out and a couple shorts a week. Even Milliken will only put out 2-3 a week on average. That’s less than an hour of content a week
Yeah, but, for someone to start now and make a legit living doing it is nearly impossible. Definitely still room for folks to do it on the side
Wow didn't realize how much Ben despises the Zaldains???
Strong opinions often clash!
@@jamiebrucefishingi think we all know trait has the cock n balls in that relationship
Jacob is sneaky, he stumbled into a unique brand.
We’ll see !
I wish him the best
Ben, help sponser Brucie w 6th sense and get Him to take another shot Agreed his story more impressive w the lack of largemouth fishing
Thanks Billy, but I have great sponsors! Not going next year because I’m committed to starting the family and have a FT job !
Not a bad idea for next year though Brucey! 😉
@@codywood6756 yessir Woodrow
@@jamiebrucefishingoh i know man, your doing what you got to do bro just love the idea of you rocking 6th sense Think youd be a good fit
BASS Nation Natty is November on Grand
You gonna let me in to your MN club ??
Right after my entry to LA Crosse is confirmed 😅
@@HellaBass where is your state derby ?
@jamiebrucefishing 2024 is Vermilion,
8 min in start of podcast
Ha ha that’s funny just listened to kill Tony than came to this cast ha ha
👍👍👍👍👍
👊
Editing is overrated period! These UA-cam guys don't need to edit that's what folks want
Haha that’s easy to say but I don’t know anyone that could sit through ten hours of go pro !
If he scope fishes on murray it’s gonna be bad 😂 that’s gonna be prime herring spawn
Sooo many people will MELT DOWN if Ben f*cks around and wins AOY
Haha yup , would be a sight to see
I saw your brain lock up with the dig on where you live 😂 , by the way it's the most beautiful place I've ever visited , thought you were gonna say easy bud but you ate it like puck to the face 🤨
Must have been an audio delay 😅
Always so much MLF hate idgi. MLF livestream is 100x's more entertaining than Bassmasters. B.A.S.S has the history and the bigger name, but that's about it imo. MLF has 7 of the top 10 anglers in the world rankings. That being said I just love fishing and watch them both Oh and Ben is a great interview.
definitely a punching bag these days, is what it is
MLF owns Bassfan, not sure how accurate those rankings are. The elites have more anglers, so by formula they should get more ‘points’ per season fished…
Variety is the spice of life!
I don’t mind the bad language. I just wouldn’t if I were you for this reason. From my perspective I’m never going to not listen to a podcast f they never cuss. However someone who doesn’t like bad language may not listen because of cussing. If that makes since.
Yeah, I hear what your saying, but I’d rather speak with someone if they can be candid
Another good show. This whole “ pro” bass fishing is eating itself. It is turning into a major shit show. MLF has done nothing but make it look like a bunch of disorganized kids playing business owners. Hope you get another shot at Elities
Appreciate it Stephen!
If that’s whiskey Milliken is drinking he needs to slow down. Holy cow.
No judgement here 😂
Pretty sure he owns or is part of a Whiskey company.
Millikan is an awesome UA-camr and he should stick with that but I think professional fishing is fucking doomed if we could have professional bass fishing with Ford facing sonar then why can’t we have professional video gamers that people watch because nobody watches that shit for sport they watched to learn how to do it, and the pros are just showing us their back I’m huge in bass fishing. I probably spent $300,000 in my lifetime so far and I’m not gonna watch the MLF because Poland dinks all day I’m telling you I can build airplanes and I can pull dinks all day me and my buddy just for fun wait our fish we had 40 pounds of dinks, so watching these guys out there with FFS and weenie worm in it is fucking gay and I’m not interested in it anymore. I would like to see five fish limit but without the Ford facing sear because I’m also seeing the lakes, I know says it isn’t true, but I’m telling you guys I’m being objective right I see fish, floating belly up dead large bass every trip now I never saw it before because your average guy out there buys the FFS does not know how to fizz bass and they’re killing fish, I should start a UA-cam channel just videotape all the bloated, dead bass matter fact I think I should do that
HE CAN’T CATCH FISH UNLESS HE’S VIDEO GAMING THEM…..
Come on Marty
Yeah Marty must not have watched how Ben came up and ended up becoming big. He's a MFing hammer. Period.
Can;t wait until Ben Milliken falls flat on his face! Just remember Ben everyone gets old!
Really appreciate the kind words 👍🏻
Damn Davey
@@jamiebrucefishingDamn ! Man and I’m 68 way I see it your only young once 👍👍
Haters gunna hate. The more the better big Ben. Hope you kill it bro!
And I always thought that everyone's boat was clean all the time..shit my boat after a fishing for.3 or 4 times in 2 weeks...
It needs a go thru and cleanup.about.every month of fishing.jajajajja
Gussy brings you a box of baits and you don’t use em. Lmao. Classic. 😂
jajajaja hey dad .fishing podcast .😂😂😂
