Man Ben, it’s so cool to see your bait choices and where you intend to use them. Not ashamed to say I got my notepad out. It’s so fricken cool to see the way your thinking about each bait. I can’t believe we get this for free!! Thank you so much man!!!! Since becoming a member I can honestly say I’ve become a better fisherman. How many channels viewers can say that. I’ll answer, prolly zero. Thank you again!! P.S. I’ve got 2 Hinkle Shad and one trout coming sometime in the next year lol. Hey at least I’ve got a pre-order. 🤞
I got a ton of knowledge from his free content and got better. Now I get to do it again with the members only content 💪 the bed fishers couldn't have come at a better time. I owe them my first tournament win credit along with the 2.7 whale and finesse jig heads. Only team to catch fish that day and I lost 2 out of the only 5 I got to bite.
I would love for you and Cole to go old school and do an over night camp catch and cook adventure! It’s what originally brought me to your channel. Keep up the good work!
Welcome to Watts Bar! I unfortunately couldn't get up to meet you unfortunately. Also loooooove the Flint Tropics jersey! "Everyone punch somebody!" 😅🤣😂
Well Watts Bar once again is the ultimate equalizer. Y’all definitely hit it at a bad time. September is always a grind. I enjoyed the video. Good luck at LOZ!! We’re pulling for ya!!!
Hay Buddy first things first that’s your family and what you have to do to support them I understand and I’m sure your true subscribers do to go for it would love to see you do well your a hell of a fisherman u deserve it
My MAN!!! Always hear that place is a hard fishery. We appreciate you bringing us along with you my dude 🌲💚🌳. Can’t wait for the next one. Keep’em cummin
I saw you at the weigh in but couldn’t get to you to get a autograph. Being disabled has its limits. Great outing and I loves the practice videos. We call Watts Bar, Watts Gar it’s tough for sure.
Thief neck, Caney creek flat by the camp ground, the giant stump bed and boulder field by the cut through and Deer point have always been a few places that hold. Sandy bottoms Christmas trees, and directly opposite Euchee narina stump bed on 18 feet. Did y'all see a bunch of fish with sores on their bodies? Anyways when it's bad it's real bad. But when it's on and they are pulling current it can be magical. And when the May flies hatch. Good luck as always.
Been teaching my dad about what you teach with new tech. he’s stuck on the 80/90’s era of fishing, so it’s troll along the banks, and set up on whatever bites type fishing with him😅 I used my fish finder to get him set up on some fatties out on a shelf and changed his mind on “dog days” of fishing 👍🏼
What’s your guess on why the fish are so skinny on watts bar? I’ve noticed there’s starting to be some of those on downstream on Guntersville as well. I caught a fish on Guntersville that should have been 12 plus but was instead just under 8. You could have shaved with this fish it was so skinny. 2 of the 30 or so we caught that day was size appropriate for the time of year. I wonder is it something on the Tennessee river system that needs to be looked into
If you ever go back there in September, the Okishira screw head with a 2.8 keitech is deadly there this time of year. We win most our tournaments there on it around wood mixed with grass.
Man I got busy and forgot you was here. I grew up on that lake. It used to be better. They killed the grass off and it has taken its toll. Just now starting to come back.
Ben how do they decide the boat draws at the tournaments? Did you go off dead last today? I don’t know seems like the last draw/first draw next day would be about worse draw you could get? Wanting to see you in the elites but regardless keep hammerin em
Can you remind me of the carpet wrap/cover you’re using? How’s it holding it up? Shout out to the Flint tropics. Take off your flush and jug me seeeexxxaayyy.
It's definitely crazy how just down river on the other side of Watts Bar Dam, you hit Chickamauga, and it's loaded with giants. Same water source, huge difference in quality of fish. Makes no sense 🤔
Watched the live, last Saturday... Tyler was super patient ...as a new dad has to be. Good video, just a little sad that you went with the "Medium" on the Tropics jersey...... Jk
20 years ago Watts Bar was fun to fish for the obvious. I don’t know what happened to the population of fish. Fortunately I live down river near Chickamauga and it is still good but probably not as good as it was 5 years ago. Maybe it’s just me !
Hey bro I know you made the Classic and that's great but you need to get back on your game, you've been slippin and that's not acceptable. Get your shit together and make the Elites. ❤❤
Absolutely great video. Ps: I love the challenge idea. Keep it up, that was great. 😊
I said it before and I'll say it again, you got this Ben! Do what you do and get in the top 10. Finish the season strong!

Tear it up my friend. Caliman is rooting for you to have great success. Take care!
Never have to apologize. You are chasing something you love so keep up the grind!

I can't wait to see you in the classic and hopefully, the Elite soon. I'm definitely going to be pulling for you.

Now you see what I live with when it comes to fishing here 😂 I enjoyed the video

Can you remind me of the carpet wrap/cover you’re using? How’s it holding it up? Shout out to the Flint tropics. Take off your flush and jug me seeeexxxaayyy.
Line Semen...bravo sir 😂
just out if curiosity, could you have kept those catfish to eat if you wanted to or is that against tourney rules?
Slaw!!! Hope you was able to sling a stick into something 🏹
What happened to the double digit? Did I miss something? Another great vid.
The drum bud …. He’s talkin about the drum
O lord you where at bird island. That’s smallys. But 14 to 16 inch
They have a lot of cat fish. We are going too all the big lakes to fish with all my plastics
The 🐐
I grew up on watts bar lake!!
Bro was listening to hit list!
I hope to see you on Fox sports on Saturday!!!!
Watts Bar is full of large catfish & drum.
Good luck hope you do great
@xMillikenFishing won what?
Wait are those clear lenses ? 😮
They have lots of tournaments there almost every week
I hear if you say mfrs under that bridge 3 times slontchmouth shows up and nibbles your worm 😂
Good luck
Do you wear that cammo so the fish don’t see you??
So did coleslaw get his antelope?
Wheres the next video???? Over here itching
Siiiick
It's definitely crazy how just down river on the other side of Watts Bar Dam, you hit Chickamauga, and it's loaded with giants. Same water source, huge difference in quality of fish. Makes no sense 🤔
He said that’s a lie of course, we’ve been drinking every night 😂
Ahhhhh yeahhhh!!!
Watched the live, last Saturday... Tyler was super patient
...as a new dad has to be. Good video, just a little sad that you went with the "Medium" on the Tropics jersey......
Jk
Catch'um up Ben..
Can’t believe he was listening to hit list lol
Hope you did good
LOL semi pro nice jersey 😂
Did you ever consider fishing out of a decoy boat in practice so other tournament fishermen don’t know it’s you?
Perfectly round… ish 😂
Maybe a double digit drum or catfish - Watts Bar sucks. Havent watched this one yet but I've been following the opens.
Flint tropics……? I wish you were still a washing machine!
We used Sungill colors
Nice
20 years ago Watts Bar was fun to fish for the obvious. I don’t know what happened to the population of fish. Fortunately I live down river near Chickamauga and it is still good but probably not as good as it was 5 years ago. Maybe it’s just me !
That was the skinniest ten pounder I have ever seen, usually they are fat mutants, that thing was long as hell and skinny, sick fish 🎣
Are the cats acting like bass or the bass acting like cats?
They have a guy that catches catfish. 50 pounders
They spray the weeds there.
My home lake
I think the real question we should be asking is … What bait would Jackie Moon throw?
The alley-oop
Wow, a triple D. Lol
why do you look like the arrow lol not a bad thing
Only 18 out of 172 guys caught a limit though 2 days.
It's weird. There's a ton of bait all over that lake yet everything except the catfish is skinny. And No, the catfish aren't the problem .
@xMillikenFishing no no, you've won.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hey bro I know you made the Classic and that's great but you need to get back on your game, you've been slippin and that's not acceptable. Get your shit together and make the Elites. ❤❤
Looks like u quefn when you pull in out your 10lbr
Bro videos getting hidden I had to search you fallen off bro 🤣
Yahtzee
