I don't like buying ice constantly. So I will freeze water bottles or 1 gallon jugs about 3/4 full. Then as the ice melts you can drink the water and also keep the fish water cold as well.
Hey brotha , just a tip because I used to fish tournaments all the time … you do not want to put all that ice in there at one time . you want to keep it in your cooler and then add a pound here and they’re putting two complete bags will kill the fish and put it into shock. Are used to keep it in my cooler and put a couple cups full here and there .
I’ve noticed the hook up issue with these glide baits… is it the hook placement based on how they strike larger baits? Can an additional hook be added in a strategic place?
I know I am a little late to the party here, but, in case no one else mentioned it, yes obviuosly putting ice in the live well will make it cooler, duh, but did you know that colder water holds significantly more oxygen than warmer water, the closer to 60 degrees you can keep the water it will max out the available oxygen to the fish.
On the ice, just freeze some old water bottles and mark them as bait so your wife doesn’t drink them. Then you can just toss them into the live well as needed AND ur not putting chlorine in with ur fish from regular ice melting.
You should come to Austin area man I bet you can make a really good video on Walter E Long lake there is lots of kayak tournaments out here I will love to see you compete with the best around the central Texas anglers
I know in my live wells, I use 2 cap full of please release. I put 2- 7lbs bags or 2-10 bags of ice in my livewells and put it on recycle and plug the drains. That way I don't lose my cold water and please release. Just something to think about. Like the tournament videos keep them coming
Burch was right they are trying to snag fish using live scope. They pass the bait by the fish and when it’s close they rip the bait up. How is that not trying to snag the fish ??
Nice Dude. That late 80s power mullet is magic for you. And I’m jealous because my hair don’t grow like that anymore… way to go my man. There’s something to be said about those 1 fish night tourneys. I miss em 4 sure.
I'm sonar stupid so this may sound like a stupid question but; how do you even know that the 8lb mark on the screen is a bass and not a carp or flathead or whatever? Isn't it still just a crapshoot?
He'll yeah! Congrats on The win. Wish you lived closer, I really want to perfect my big swimbait/ glide bait game. And apparently you got it dialed in Man.
Ok so I’ve been watching this channel for about a year and finally subscribed today. I think what took me so long to subscribe is every time I watch his videos he has very long intros.
Not sure if u ever thought of it but u could maybe rig a small bottle of oxygen to the live well. So the fish are getting more oxygenated water helping them stay a little more vibrant a lot of bait fisherman do that and I think is pretty popular in Florida and southern states but. I do hear it works and def helps keep fish alive longer.
Way to earn that one Ben! You stepped up and WON that tournament by being fluid and leaving the ego at home. Sometimes it's hard for me to admit my plan and it's 5 backups just aren't sound for the bite. You stayed away from stubbornness and created the victory. So cool to see. Nothing wrong with being VERY proud of this one, Dude.
Tournament vids🔥🔥🔥🔥
I honestly don’t know why… but I love the cooking segments 😂 lol
8:36 thats right. Whip out the ol spoon on those hard to bite fish. That dont work. Shakey head all day 🎣
Congrats, its the grind , some days thats what it takes
Wooo nice win 🤘🏻🤘
Great Win... Grats
Always love the tourney content!
Good grind Ben
The tournament vids are my favorite

Tournament content is the best.

Shows right there never give up..
Ben can you do a video about 1st getting into fishing tourneys and what do do and expect?
Keep the derbs coming!!!
Need to throw a night blade I love them
Miliken you should do a video making your own hinkle shad
Try using frozen two liters of water. They last longer than bags of ice.
14:22 when you mix diet pills and caffeinated energy drinks
I got that same colored hinkle love it I put some light black lines with a sharpie down the sides made it look like a tilapia it slays!
Can you go over your livescope settings? Those are nice
where do you buy hinkle shad
Freeze 2 liter bottles of water and put in one livewell. Cheaper than buying bagged ice and lasts longer.
I’ve noticed the hook up issue with these glide baits… is it the hook placement based on how they strike larger baits? Can an additional hook be added in a strategic place?
Love your content man
You da man! Congratulations brother.
Way to get the W Ben!
Awesome Job Benjamin !!! Good win.
What is the layout of your units? Thanks for all the vids MFER!!!
Hey brother come up to lake texhoma!

With those graphs that ain't even fishing anymore ...... I've heard of people that won't even fish tournaments if they allow those.
I'm digging the bait and switch title love it brother
What gear ration reel do you throw your crank bates on ??
This video beeps more than a dump truck backing up
What pound test are you using?
Congratulations! Great fishing!
Congratulations man!!
If you drop an f bomb every time you miss a fish and wear crocs we would be great friends 😂
Instead of bags of ice just freeze a few big water bottles and you can keep reusing them. has helped us in some of our summer tournaments
Yep this guy knows what’s up. That is especially good with salt water fish because then you won’t be adding freshwater into your life well🤙🏻
Ben, feeeze a 2 liter or milk jug of water. Stays frozen a lot longer than the smaller pieces in a bag of ice.
Great job!
Good win 🏆
💪🏽🎣 killing it .
Good luck in next tournament, nice catch
More tournaments let’s goooooo
2 wins in a row! Let's go! 🔥🤙🎣

Always find a way to win! Love it man!
Ben is "Yeaaa BaaaDDD! WoooHoo Bro... Thanks for all your hard work and days getting us GREAT Content! Well Deserved WIN...
nice win! you should look into the bgc deep crank shad swimbait.. should slay biggins in deep waters
i think you should hop in a open or 2 next year
I don't need to know exact amounts but what's a payout for a tournament like that normally or in the past
Good ass feelin isn’t it !! When your fish is a lb heavier than you thought ! 😂 good job
Tournament content? Yes
Awesome video I like the tournament videos way to go
Give the prize to someone else thanks for choosing me but I’m on a limited income and I can’t afford anything extra at this time
Have you ever fished for salmon?
Nice Dude. That late 80s power mullet is magic for you. And I’m jealous because my hair don’t grow like that anymore… way to go my man. There’s something to be said about those 1 fish night tourneys. I miss em 4 sure.
Great video I like these and the new one's where you are giving technical advice thanks
Those are some big ass baits , what lb line you spooled up with ? Your baits are probably bigger than fish I catch. Set the hook brother
Great work you damn monstah!
Love the tournament vids. Congrats on the win, and on finding another Hinkle.....
I want you to fish with Jon b!
Any chance you could share your live scope settings?
I'm sonar stupid so this may sound like a stupid question but; how do you even know that the 8lb mark on the screen is a bass and not a carp or flathead or whatever? Isn't it still just a crapshoot?
Fairfield?
PA POWWWW 🎣🎣
He'll yeah! Congrats on The win. Wish you lived closer, I really want to perfect my big swimbait/ glide bait game. And apparently you got it dialed in Man.
Where did u get that headlight? We use those at work
Half cup of peroxide in the livewell adds oxygen

Gotta be flexible!
Congrats man you slayed it
What's the biggest crank you would use on a med heavy mod team 6 rod?
We do love the tournament vids. Thanks man! Keep the content coming!
Make sure your ice does not have chlorine in it. Here in Florida we freeze water bottles and put the bottles in there
Love the tournament content
Wow!! You won because you stay dedicated. Everybody had a rough time getting big bites
Please keep up the tournament content
Not sure if u ever thought of it but u could maybe rig a small bottle of oxygen to the live well.

Congrats Ben. Keep the awesome vids coming brother 😎
Maybe just ask the bass not to die
Great adjustment and win man. Hopefully I'm able to run into you at Rayburn, I'll be fishing the BFL this weekend.

Keep on with the tournaments can't wait for the next one.
You're a beast dude. Love all your content
The ice in the live well is what we always used in the summer months an it kept them alive throughout the whole tournament
Looked like a literal Grind! Nice work
