Thank you so much for taking time out off your day to sit and talk with me congratulations and keep up the good work
Hey Ben...I couldn't be happier for you! I was taking care of my mother as she was passing from brain cancer during your journey. Watching you smash it gave me an escape from what was going on. Mom and I would sit and watch your videos smashing monsters and mom loved it too. We were both rooting for you...I'll never forget Momma's big grin when I told her you made it to the Classic! She lost her fight April 20th, but I'm still rootin for ya in this Cinderella story! Get it Ben, do it for you and for us dreamers too! Praying for ya as well buddy!
There's no secret..... you're just a friggin bass whisperer! Seriously though congratulations on the win! You definitely put in the work and educated/entertained us Mfers along the way! I'm just glad to be here DEAL 🎣💥👊🏻
I found something really interesting on that last day YOUR marshal said i have never seen anyone throw big baits like this. Your a damn Hammer. its truly impressive to see how you have honed in your craft to honestly be one of the best fishermen in the game right now
Such a pleasure to see how you have put the fishing world on its ear. I feel like we are right there with you. I am constantly amazed at your technical skills and willingness to share.
@millikenfishing1_Thank you so much. Keep up the good work. You're so good, sometimes mind boggling
Congrats on the bass master win bro! That's freaking awesome & a hell of an accomplishment no doubt!
With all the work you've put in, you deserve it Ben congratulations.
We’re so happy for you Ben! ❤️ We love you too Slaw! Thank you Sarah for being a supportive wife, props and love for you too! Enjoy the ride Ben!
Congratulations!!! Love the debrief, thank you so much for giving us a debrief!! So glad your closest love ones got to celebrate with you!! Hey we need that line thru tho!!!also need an MFer mag rod!!! Can you add one to the Milliken series please?? We cannot wait for the next one!! Please tell Cole slaw thanks for the great video work!! See you this weekend!!!
Congrats on the win! Good luck at the classic!
You got them bass fish figured out brother great job I've been following for like 7 or so years and you've came a long way
Congrats Ben! Been a sub since the beginning. So fun to see you grow as a you tuber and now preparing to be a professional bass fisherman! Congrats again on the fantastic run. Keep up the hard work buddy!
And this is definitely just the beginning. I absolutely love and enjoy following you on this journey Ben.
I love that you explained the things you did to win the tournament again great job
Congrats Mr Milliken from Kentucky. I myself was in my way but found my Daddy had pancreatic cancer and it was more important to spend time with him. I hope you do your best and best wishes my friend
Those of us who have followed you for years already knew how you caught em. We listened and in your own way let it out. But thanks for letting the rest know. Not so good at buggs, but I seen home boys do n that one that didn’t do good. So on to the next Ben, pulling for your dream man 😁👍👍
I’ve been watching your videos since that I quit my job to fish video so proud of you man you’ve come so far you’re an inspiration
Absolutely love the journey man, it’s truly amazing to watch 💪
So cool, congrats! Love watching your journey! Cant wait to see ya in the Classic!
Congrats my friend! You smashed em and I really enjoyed the footage you shared. I was really rooting for you at Buggs Island, but unfortunately it's not a big fish lake. You're gonna win this next one!
Congrats again brother, so happy and proud for you. Proof that putting in the time and work pays off! I know this week didn’t go as you hoped, but to have a start the way you did on the first two stops, is absolutely incredible
I can attest that hogwalla is a beast. Got some in a six sack and it turned out to be the best creature bait I’ve ever used. I keep 10 packs stocked in my box at all times!!!
Good luck Ben. Your killing it bud Im rooting for you. I've been watching you from the beginning keep it up
Thank you for all the information you have shared with us, it’s definitely helped me a lot. I have told people you are great with all kinds of techniques not just big baits. You work hard everyday and you have been working your tail off for years, you totally set yourself up for success in every aspect of your life especially financially. So much respect! You did it the right way. Young people with dreams to do anything can learn from your journey. Thank you for taking us along with you.
Well deserved win!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! When you work hard dreams come true!! Couldn't happen to a better person!! Peace love joy and happiness from KNOXVILLE TENNESSEE!!
Well Ben, Kerr lake was TOUGH!! Powell Kemp, who won it is an absolute HAMMER on Kerr/Buggs Island.
I am about an hour from Buggs on the NC side - it's a great fishery with tons of fish but man is a lake that if you catch 16lbs a day you are doing something - any time of year and in the best conditions.
You guys had terrible conditions, huge fronts moved through the area during practice bringing tons of rain and mud and though it doesn't fish big, it usually fishes high in numbers of fish.
You kept grinding and got some decent points still!! Such a great time watching you and your success!!
Man I'm so happy for you,and your entire family,and of coarse the man Cole,hate I couldn't get off work for the Kerr tourney,first tourney I ever fished was on that lake,good luck to ya brother👊
Two of my biggest fish came off the Ol' Ball and Chain yesterday using the Hogwalla. I may have found my new favorite technique. I'm really looking forward to seeing you fish here at LOZ. Thanks for what you do!
Awesome video guys!!! Congratulations to you all that make these videos and winning already!!! Classic bound now you just got to win it. Then you won't be worried about all next year's entry fees!!! Wait and see how many people are going to be wanting to put their name on next year's shirts. They are going to go nuts if you win this next one too!!! Lol can't wait to see all the videos.
Ben is embracing the fact he is the happy gilmore of bass fishing. Dig it
Congrats bro!! You deserve all the success your having and more.
Ben, long time mf. You spent so much time preparing. You did ur homework. Ur the trueself fisherman that we all live thru you. U proved urself and talked the talk and cashed that check!!!!!!! Cole slaw don't worry, u the best camera guy. It takes the whole crew to make it happen. Cole thank you over the years for filming. Ben u made it happen. And the wife for the years of letting you do fishing. Family, friends and never give up makes it happen. And the best fishing videos on TH-cam. Thanks to Ben's crew for making me happy for the bell.
Congratulations bro, you deserve it! I've been following you forever!
Great job on the win. Planned on getting on the water at Kerr to attempt to locate Red 402. No luck other stuff got in my way. I did get to the weigh in today and would liked to have met you. In reality you and several guys were a couple big fish away. Also, placed my 1st order a couple days ago and got the Hogwalla's and my first Draw 6.5. So if I speak to Coleslaw while fishing thinkin it will help.
Congrats brother! So freaking awesome that you have had such amazing success already. I didn't have any doubts that you would do well. I now have a reason to keep up with BASSMASTRERS again. Can't wait for the next tourney. Good luck and continued success!
Love it bro. Been watching for a loooong time. Glad to see you actually doing what we all wanna do! 🙌 keep trucking man! We know you can smash ‘em!
Your work ethic is admirable. Most of us couldn’t do what you do even with the abilities you have to find and catch bass. Great video brother.
I've listened to damn near all your podcasts from various people. I agree with you, people peg you as a big bait or die kinda guy. I get when you say you'll catch em on what they want, to me that's what fishing is about. Tight lines from Ohio brother. Congrats again and bring on the next open!!
Ben I say this once a week. Your the best and this video shows how your going to win the bassmasters classic. I have already have a motel room paid for in Oklahoma to watch you win the bassmasters classic.
Congratulations on your win Ben! Travel safe and kick butt.
Well done Ben, especially the way you stayed true to what you do and enjoy. You belong in the big league, remember that for when if you have a bad day on the eater
Your drive and dedication won that tournament. Your children, wife and family won it for you. The Mf nation feels that they hoisted that trophy with you. Phenomenal series. Thanks
Awesome job man! Watch you all the time. Your making head lines! They wasn’t expecting a TH-camr to kick there ass. Keep it up man
One of the coolest things was you not wearing a big sponsor covered shirt. Thought that the whole time and great you didn't have to sell out to get where you are. You worked for it and you deserve it
I love you brother, you have helped me so much in my presentations with my Lures. I just bought the 402 shirt. I will support you in any way. I wanted to come see you on Toledo but I had a tournament on Rayburn. Keep smashing it brother.
Ben watching you for a long time I know how hard it takes to get where you are today, love your videos. you are going far in the fishing indust--will following you all the way. ps. you go get them.
Ben is the reason I started throwing swimbaits . In 2017 I watched him smash em on a m.s slammer and I’ve been hooked every since . Thanks ben
I’m gonna try and make it. Much love from Chicago ❤️ You’re the best fisherman on TH-cam imo. Because you don’t bullshit, it’s not lame music/ instrumentals for a whole video blaring in your face, you admit defeat and show what’s not working and switch up. You deserve all what’s coming to you for your hard work.
It was Amazing watching you work !! Telling us your thoughts was a great teaching moment. Let’s Go !! 🧨🧨🧨
Your the man Ben I'm pulling for you, catch'um up bud..
From falling into icy waters to winning a Bass open! You've come a long way and put in all the work, congrats!
Absolute effing legend I can’t even say it enough absolute MF’er legend second career Bassmaster open top five and won the second event outright and clinched a spot to the bass master classic ben freaking Milliken is fishing in the bass master classic I’ve been watching him since Nebraska this is so awesome my son is so happy I’m happy for him he got my kid into bass fishing!
That was so awesome to hear about your success with your dream. Your go with your bad self brother. Peace out from Ohio Don T
Never met you but I’m happy for you! My little brother got me into your videos and it’s been cool to watch the progression and the science to it. I’ve been tournament angling since 2018 fishing since I could walk. Love all the info and the passion you have for the sport
First of all congrats on the win second my waterland Milliken sunglasses came in and the quality is insane for only $139
Keep it going Ben! My cousin and I are all in for you 100%. We can't wait to see you lay the smackdown and Rip Some Lips in the Classic. 👊🎣
IVE ENJOYED WATCHING YOUR GROWTH IN FISHING. YOU HAVE OPENED MY EYES TO A WHOLE DIFFERENT WAY TO CHASE THE GREEN FISH. SEVERAL YEARS AGO I DIDNT EVEN OWN ANY BIG GLIDE BAITS, BUT NOW I ALMOST ALWAYS HAVE ONE TIED ON. FROM ONE FISHING JUNKIE TO ANOTHER, CONGRATS ON YOUR BIG WIN AT T-BEND
Im fishing vicariously thru you!!! Ive been anticipating this video to come out, although there has been so hype about your win that most of us already knew you had WON!!!
Congratulations!!!!!! Cant wait to sport the 402!!! You are making great videos and content and cant wait to see the next video!!! Fishing just got real exciting!
It's awesome to see a northern Midwest guy that's damn near a local guy to get a win. I'm in Central Iowa and have been following for a while. Congratulations
It’s been so fantastic watching this all unfold. And major props to you for staying true to who you are and not wearing the silly NASCAR style outfit so many “pros” do. You’re 100% real and that’s what makes you so unique and popular. Mad love from the 307!
You’ve came along bud. Definitely cleaned up your content and absolutely killing it. My kids and myself will be keeping up with you ! Keep whacking and stacking em!
Been watching since the days of you being Josh's dad. Been a hell of a journey man, keep killing it 🍻
Awesome review congratulations on making the classic enjoy the ride!
Just wanted to say congratulations Ben for the epic win 🏆 it was incredible and to do it by over 10lbs is so badass 🎣
You the man Ben. I know the Elite anglers are watching you close!
That's so cool man, congrats. I saw the 6th sense drops last week, just got mine in the mail, the small draw and a few packs of the new 10 inch worms and the magnum catwalk. I'm waiting on that magnum flush. The flush has become probably my most important "limit maker" bait over the past couple years. I hardly throw a senko at all anymore, I throw a weightless flush cuz it does a shimmy as it falls and stays right side up so you can twitch it and let it fall, twitch twitch, stop....etc I flip it sometimes too, drag it on a t-rig, and it makes an absolutely amazing full size chattbait trailer. So I can't wait for that big flush to come out. I hope you guys eventually release a small flush too. I know you have the juggle minnow, which i use on my mini max chatterbaits and on spinnerbaits, but I'd love a mini flush too.
The crazy part is that he is showing us what he caught it with, when other pro fisherman don’t even think of doing 😂
Confidence is high for this man. Congrats bro! You deserve what comes in the future 🍻
Congrats! Thanks for filming the whole experience!! Great channel.Go get some more!your my inspiration for my muskie fishing this season.
Congratulations
And thank you for sharing
And good luck in the rest of them!
Solid performance and result , was friggin awesome to watch you. I've been watching your Chanel, 4 vids before you quit your day job...that long ago...🎉🥳🥃
Best derby I ever had was off a Carolina rig red/black 10in worm caught a 26lb bag that derby but I haven't been able to fish since I've had my 3 strokes. Good luck bud
Love ya Brother! My Son, Jesse Robirds got his first glide bait fish a 3.37 Largemouth on 6th Sense glide in the High School NYFA Tournament on Table Rock yesterday!💥
Thank you for your detailed videos, it helped make my Son and his partners tournament GREAT!
Good luck at Kerr man! All of Mfer nation is proud of you!
this dude is just one of the best fisherman...straight up knowledgable and experienced and just talented
We are all very proud of you Ben.
Ben,
Huge fan my daughter goes to Midland university in Fremont Nebraska and we are from Huntington Beach Ca, but fish local bass tourneys in ca, az, nev, love your content. Love that your just real regualar honest family guy and pulling for you this season!
🎉 congrats and thank you for sharing your journey
There is something to be said about dedicating everything you got to one single goal, then achieving it.
Best of luck to you, you ave worked hard to get where your at make the best of it have fun with it
you did your homework and stayed cool - congrats but don't change anything and try to keep building - i liked the shad breath comments - you matched the hatch well, the fish painters helped you out a bunch and you capitalized on the patterns and stayed flexible, you did the work ahead of time and that helped you navigate strategy
Very happy for your hard earned success!!
Thanks Ben. Really appreciate you breaking it all down.
Dude...This is completely awesome! Congratulations brother!
Nice sun bruh…bass master classics..was my Saturday morning cartoon…got me a shirt. 402!
Just ordered my 6 sack, of because of you. 6th Sense colors are sick. Love the journey we’re on with you. Made us all better anglers. Deal
You will be in my neck of the woods for the classic! 😎
You got the reward for all that hard work you have put in sir!
And obviously the crew you have has done the same.
Thanks for all the great info! And watching you crush it for the win.
Love living your fishing adventures even though I'm from South Dakota. Lol
Congratulations on your sucess.
Just recently started following your journey in the opens ...you seem to have what it takes and are humble and understand what fishing is about pulling for you the rest of the way and can't wait to watch the ups and downs on your way to the Elites because that's were your headed sonner than later let's go to 😊
Can’t wait to see the next open ….
Couple months to a year ago you asked a question suggest a video idea well here is one for you.
Your the big glide master well with your winnings you should get a motherchaser and show us what you can pull in with it
But I have faith you could do it

Got my 402 shirt already, looking forward to watching you dominate the rest of the Opens
Congrats again…. Just goes show everyone that hard work will pay off in the end.
Keep it up!!!!
Thanks for sharing brother and good luck at the next stop. Shirt on order.
I'm so excited to meet you at the bass master classic next year. I'm trying to get my dad to let me use big swim bait lures I live in a town outside of Tulsa so I will try and make it to the Bassmaster, good luck on Grand Lake though it's tuff.
Congratulations man, I know your family is stoked!!! Let's go, MFers
