    So I'm watching "Road Wars" and during commercial I normally don't watch but I hear them I'm sitting here and hear a voice I recognize and rewind it and sure enough it's an Orkin commercial with Ben Milliken teaching a guy a fishing technique in his front yard. 😂🤣😂🤣

    Ben, your tournament footage and commentary is the best I've ever experienced. BAR NONE. Better than all other TH-camr's and even better than watching the major tournaments live. Very immersive and honest content. Keep it up, Ben!

    @jeffpickett9730 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey Ben, I was thinking of a cool member video. With it getting hot now I feel like it would help my game a lot if I could learn about underwater features like drains and such. How to spot them from the surface if possible, as I’m a bank fisherman. Any help on this subject would be so much appreciated. Thanks Ben, wish you all the luck in the world and continued success!!

    • @tragikk03
      @tragikk03 ปีที่แล้ว

      are you running that boat you got a year or so ago (that real nice one) for the tournaments or did you land a boat sponsor? Congrats on your success, brotha. You're a good man and our generation seems to have a few of us who are honest and knowledgeable.
      Big respect for not allowing the big numbers you started being offered change you - not many people today can say that and be telling that truth
      edit: any plan or thought to pursue Ben Milliken X Matt Allen and Tim Little collab? or Oliver Ngy X Milliken Fishing - the honest hammers in industry working together would be huge for bass fishing, imo - at the end of the day, it's yall's lives and channels, but those collabs would be dope

  • @gustavodealba9236
    @gustavodealba9236 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Is there any specific reason why you put all the fish on the same side of the livewell? Having two of them for the fish to have more space and don't bang into each other.

    Love to see you in the face in adversity brother cause you don’t fumble at all. That’s such a huge confidence booster for myself cause I tend to get frustrated and make bad choices when I’m not catching them or not catching the right ones. Cole your edits are top of the game man you guys make such an incredible team. Who would have known when you first became Bens camera guy that this is where it would lead. So badass. Keep it up dudes!!!👊💪
