    You're living the best days of your life brother with your little one at his age, good wife, home, all of it. Been there. I guess just stay humble, grateful, and trust your gut. What's meant to be will be brother. We rarely learn from success. Never give up! We all believe in you!

    Though things didn’t go as planned, that’s why they call it fishing and not catching. You gave it your all and I respect that! Wishing better things in the next tournament!

    New subscriber here. Stumbled across your channel a few days ago and really like how you present your videos. You may not had won the tournament but you won your daughter's heart and that is the greatest prize. What I would give for my daughter to be small like that again. Cherish the simple moments with her because our kids grow so fast. Another great video

    You're a good role model for the younger anglers, homie. Kind, but not weak.
    I think I'm a little older than you.. I'll be 33 soon, but my son just turned 6. Happy for you guys - you've worked hard and made a family and a future for your kid, that's dope.

    • @tragikk03
      @tragikk03 ปีที่แล้ว

      hearing you explain why you're changing, and the way you think about these patterns fish get into, really just helped a ton. Just had a lightbulb moment after you called the audible at the first spot.
      I've been bass fishing around 5 years and had trouble making the switch from a normal guy running "fishy" spots to chasing patterns - hearing you think out loud just made me finally get it in a way I haven't before

    In a fishing tournament all fair Love and War. Now it bugs me when I'm in a kayak and I have a motorboat pull up 15 ft away from me and start fishing. They have the whole lake, but I deal with it because it is every man's water!

Your the best. See you in in a few weeks at Eufaula. You’re gonna smash fools there!!! Thanks for finding time when you “weren’t” busy to give us members that Badass gem of a video, I caught a 3.66 on the bait you taught me to build in that video on an urban pond!!

    Haha, yeah I don't ever enter bass tournaments, but living super near lake guntersville I've learned to hate some tournament fishers because they will buzz me to screw up my fishing, and 4 or 5 boats will fish within casting range of me when they see me catching fish...

  • @guineapigmomma53
    @guineapigmomma53 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think it’s pretty cool that bass lets your camera guy ride with you when you don’t a coangler or a marshal riding with you. I’m surprised that some crybabies havnt had that rule changed saying it gives you and advantage and having your personal camera guy riding with you!!! Coleslaw keep killing it man! Your transitions are on point lately!! But I want to see more videos of you fishing!!!

  • @alexoienundertheveil4742
    @alexoienundertheveil4742 ปีที่แล้ว

    You got this Ben I truly think they should cut the number of boats down it gets over fished in practice and even before it then the fish are like nope we're on to u. I'm not sure what happens like a few weeks before the tournament but if they closed the lakes down before fishing for the tournaments it would make a world of difference pressured fish don't bite especially with 200plus boats with equal equipment and technology. The over fishing and ridiculous weather patterns of the past couple years from weather manipulation is one of the main causes. Keep ur head up and your doing well Ben ur where you've deserved to be in the bassmasters.
