What else should I add to my Man Cave?? SUBSCRIBE bit.ly/MFishing Check out My Sunglasses ▶ bit.ly/waterla... Use "MF10" to SAVE #mancave #diy #mancavebuild
HELLO again Ben, Slaw and MFers!! Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend! Friggin love the man cave and obviously the backyard ponds. Gonna be needing an invite to come over and Rip Some Lips out of those pond guys... great videos. And as always.... Keep Rippin Lips 🎣👊🏻💥 my friends!
A buddy of mine has a tackle company and their bait making station was a blocked off section in their garage. They had it set up to where you started the process in one spot and basically went clock wise around the room finishing off the lure. They had a band saw, then router, a sander, drill press , lead pot, etc.. it was super organized and made the process easy and enjoyable. In one evening we cut out and shaped and weighted 200 musky lure bodies that were ready for sealing and then paint. All because of the simplicity of the setup. Given these were all the same lure design. Excited to see what else you do in this sweet garage.
Pool or Foosball table? Definitely some large flat screens both inside and out in the boat garage. Maybe a trophy shelf, desk area to shoot sone content? Plenty of couch space to relax when you can! The potential is awesome!
Ben giving my boy Victor Depp a shout out. Freaking Awesome!! Great guy, with an awesome story. Love the new space, can't wait for the future adventures. Now go win some more tournaments!!!!
If you get a rainy day I think a video showing some of your lure or rig setup for fishing different types of water or brush would be interesting. I see you use a lot of different set ups and wonder what helps you decide.
As I'm working on making my own fishing mancave/bait making room, I'm loving this vid and need more! All I've got is the tv, antique coke (beer) cooler, couch and peg board 😂. Essentials
Try adding a pully system you could attach to the little boat. And you could raise it up and lock it to give you even more room. Just a thought Mr. Ben.
Very cool Ben Congrats. Put a couple windows in above the peg board for natural light. If you film in there more you'll have better lighting and ventilation.
Some underwater cameras in the pond would be cool. Yeah, lots of space to do some cool stuff in the garage. Greg Blanchard just turned his garage into a fishing man cave, maybe check it out to get some ideas.
That would be cool, and more peg board vertically for more 6th sense tackle. God, wouldn’t it be nice to have that much stuff that you’d need a ladder to reach it?!! Definitely got some potential!
TV, Couch, and a Beer Fridge to start. Then a loft in the back to store items not often used out of the way. Install a big ass fan to dry the boat when it gets rained on.
Compliments on your carpentry, your pretty handy 👍👍. 1 thing u deciding to set your 2x4s on your work bench. The top of your bench, working area u set your 2xs the right direction, face out, holds weight better. Your storage under your work top, setting your 2xs flat, edge out, they won't hold the weight, they will sag. U should of installed the same way as your top, face out 👍
For the yak and pelican boat. You can put a pulley system and make a custom rig to store them on the back wall. My pops and I did that in his barn for the personal pontoons and they worked perfectly and created more floor space
You are living the dream my friend, and deserve it you put in the work and have taught me so much about bass fishing. You should come to Maryland and catch some snakeheads amazing fight and tasty to boot
Loft in the back, ceiling rod holder under the loft, should fit all your rods. Lurebuilding/ more storage downstairs and office/ lounge/ bar up top. 2 winches in the front for the kayak and the pelican.
Man looks great so far 👌.. you would be surprised if you threw up some dryway and paint in the studded areas how much brighter it would be in there.. wood as much as i looks great tends to soak up the light where as drywall and white paint would reflect the light and brighten the whole area
just an idea... hang the spools horizontally above the peg board. It won't take up counter space and it will be higher if and when you want to reline a reel while sitting in the boat.
Let all appreciate Ben’s hard work. Buy a huge house with ponds, buy a new boat, new truck and fish all the time. The true “this is my status of hard work pays off is this video of him buying that much wood from Home Depot.
Maybe also put some stainless on the top of the work bench. This way if you need to put boat parts or anything up there and they are full of oil or grease, the top of the bench doesn’t get ruined. A vice is a great addition too.
You could totally put a loft in there and make a office/editing space, tackle making room, a bar/game room, all of them haha! The possibilities are endless!
In the Back you need to construct a loft, under the loft for the ceiling it needs to be a rod rack that covers the entire ceiling. On the floor carpet held in place by couches and a super cool glass top shadowbox coffee table with carved fish displayed in a natural seen (river bottom or spawning bed). Of course the wall needs to be a bragging board completed with mounted fish and photos. Up in the loft is where you store all the crap that you can't stand to part with but which you know deep down in your heart you will never use again. Oh big screen TV and a beer cooler probably a good choice too.
Slaunchmaster HQ is coming together nicely! Perhaps a custom 6th Sense dart board on the wall right between the two 17 pounders yer gonna catch? Glad to see the dream coming together! I'm a big fan
Bam! It's a function work space😂 Take me fish'n and there could be a Garage Mural in your future. LOL. Cant wait to see what else you do to it Bro. Always a pleasure!
Definitely take advantage of the loft space above. To bad you can't do a boat lift system to hang the boat and trailer. Or a second boat. Looking good. Plenty of room. Need more tackle. Filler up.
Loft in Texas? hot IMO but what do I know. I say build a bar in the finished area with the m mounts etc. in the back make/install a kayak/raft lift and storage rack on rails in place of a loft. so you can winch up your small boats and slide them above the bass boat. on rails. . Do your tackle station back there with a minibar and flat screens. Install small neon lights down the length of the tackle counter and run some electricity and boxes down it. put some mounted adjustable fans every 5 feet or so to keep the air moving , if you're going big
Some tidy workmanship there Ben if I was you I would put another 2 peg boards in trust me you will use them up in no time you may also need one for the build corner 😉
If it's not already planned, you need to pay for Father Zac (@ SC Fish Keeping) to come down and have him help you setup a big fish tank against that back wall 😁👍
Hey Ben, hello from Ontario! On the topic of shop lighting, Have a look into high bay LED “UFO” style lights, we just did our shop with them, same height, and great light output.
Man looking good! Just add a stripper I mean stretching pole in the back with a fridge and your all set. Maybe a quail egg station too but that’s for you to decide hahaha
Looking good your going to love it after it's done happy for you Granny Nita in Madison Tennessee The 74 year old lady that has talked to you before love you video's wish I could still go fishing.But I can still dream big love you and Cold Slaw lol 💘
I'd definitely plan on putting your bait making station close to the door or if you decide to put it somewhere in the middle or back put an exhaust and a fan that'll get the toxins to blow outside.
You definitely need some cool lights. Look at this guy bass fisherman and he has carpentry Skills. Someone in Huston should see this guy and show him what he needs for his man cave🌞🌞🌞
So awesome butttt I think you should insulate and cover it and keep it temperature controlled and dry so things don’t get damp and wet and corrode. I know it doesn’t snow but it does get humid and rain and get super hot! But awesome set up
That space looks tall enough to have a loft area in it. Perfect for doubling your space!
Definitely agree loft would be cool.
I agree
Loft for studio and office
Agree.added a loft to my garage it's great.
That's what I was thinking also. 👍
Definitely should build a loft in the back part! You have plenty of room for it! Keep up the great work!
Could use a pully system to get the yak and pond boat off the ground and utilize the height in the garage.. Just an idea to throw at ya.
Pretty sick idea
Was thinking the same thing while watching this also. Like they use on lakes in boat houses.
I saw that plywood and all i thought was $$$$$$$ there's hats that say "Make Plywood Cheap Again" 🤣🤣🤣
Oak is like 68 bucks for a sheet
Can't hide money...😂😂😂
Those line holders are a must. I put a spring and two flat washers with the wing nut. Makes for more adjustments on tension. Love the channel!!
HELLO again Ben, Slaw and MFers!! Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend! Friggin love the man cave and obviously the backyard ponds. Gonna be needing an invite to come over and Rip Some Lips out of those pond guys... great videos. And as always.... Keep Rippin Lips 🎣👊🏻💥 my friends!

Definitely Need That 65inch TV Hangen On Da Wall So You Can Have Mike Ike On Relay While Your Riggen Tackle In Da Man Cave 🤘🏼
He'll ya
In the back of your man cave you have high a ceiling you need to put a loft in and hang up the kayak and bass buggy
Omg it's like the best of both worlds we get to see all his stuffys and catch big bass at the same time I love the pond!!!!!!
Pool or Foosball table? Definitely some large flat screens both inside and out in the boat garage. Maybe a trophy shelf, desk area to shoot sone content? Plenty of couch space to relax when you can! The potential is awesome!
Nice workmanship on the bench and peg board. Thank you for sharing.
So happy for you it's looking good so far you should also catch more big bass and stalk them in the big bass pond
“Well that didn’t suck” 😂😂😂🐸🤙🏽
Good start to the man cave Ben. Look forward to follow up videos to see how the shop comes along.
That's a dam fishing shop dude!
Love it. Gonna be great.
Love the man cave!! Can’t wait to see phase 2!! Hope you’re crushing it this weekend.
Giant fish tank with a huge bass in it!! That is a must for your badass garage/mancave!
Loving the pond and diy vids milky kans keep up the great work!
Looking good Ben. Lots of room for more, maybe build a loft for easier access to more storage
Awesome video can't wait to see how you finish your garage with them rod lockers..
Ben giving my boy Victor Depp a shout out.
Freaking Awesome!!
Great guy, with an awesome story.
Love the new space, can't wait for the future adventures.
Now go win some more tournaments!!!!
If you get a rainy day I think a video showing some of your lure or rig setup for fishing different types of water or brush would be interesting. I see you use a lot of different set ups and wonder what helps you decide.
Maybe a big aquarium in the man cave. Mount a few old motors up high. Make some hanging led lights out of those old big bobber coolers.
As I'm working on making my own fishing mancave/bait making room, I'm loving this vid and need more! All I've got is the tv, antique coke (beer) cooler, couch and peg board 😂. Essentials
6min 33 seconds in, demo that whole wall and give yourself more room for the boat and man cave 👌🔥🔥
Awesome, man. Good job! I will be doing this on a smaller scale. Thanks to you!
That man cave is coming along!!! Outstanding bro! Those swim baits look deadly also. Nice work guys.
Try adding a pully system you could attach to the little boat. And you could raise it up and lock it to give you even more room. Just a thought Mr. Ben.
Man, love it. The possibilities are endless!
Very cool Ben Congrats. Put a couple windows in above the peg board for natural light. If you film in there more you'll have better lighting and ventilation.
Enjoyed seeing that build. Keep up the great content guys
Some underwater cameras in the pond would be cool. Yeah, lots of space to do some cool stuff in the garage. Greg Blanchard just turned his garage into a fishing man cave, maybe check it out to get some ideas.
Great start! I hope you put a sink near your tackle making station.
PVC, use it to make a line spool holder as well. Easy way to restring you stuff and great storage/compact
Make it look like one of those bad ass old libraries that go really high and have a sliding ladder
That would be cool
Glad I’m not the only person who thought bout that lol it was first thing that came to my mind haha.
That would be cool, and more peg board vertically for more 6th sense tackle. God, wouldn’t it be nice to have that much stuff that you’d need a ladder to reach it?!! Definitely got some potential!
Humid 🤣🤣 it's only May my friend wait till August. I've lived here my whole life and love it here. Welcome!
Loft in the back would be great. You could use it as your tackle making area and put in an exhaust fan in.
Definitely build storage above. 👍👏💜🎣Can't wait to see more. 👊
TV, Couch, and a Beer Fridge to start. Then a loft in the back to store items not often used out of the way. Install a big ass fan to dry the boat when it gets rained on.
Compliments on your carpentry, your pretty handy 👍👍.
1 thing u deciding to set your 2x4s on your work bench.
The top of your bench, working area u set your 2xs the right direction, face out, holds weight better.
Your storage under your work top, setting your 2xs flat, edge out, they won't hold the weight, they will sag.
U should of installed the same way as your top, face out 👍
Great video as always. can't wait to see the final set up in the MANCAVE
You can add a section specifically for making your own baits. Such as shaky head hooks and jigs. Maybe even to make your own plastics
For the yak and pelican boat. You can put a pulley system and make a custom rig to store them on the back wall. My pops and I did that in his barn for the personal pontoons and they worked perfectly and created more floor space
You are living the dream my friend, and deserve it you put in the work and have taught me so much about bass fishing. You should come to Maryland and catch some snakeheads amazing fight and tasty to boot
Loft in the back, ceiling rod holder under the loft, should fit all your rods. Lurebuilding/ more storage downstairs and office/ lounge/ bar up top. 2 winches in the front for the kayak and the pelican.
You have a lot of tackle on that peg board! Great job so far, can’t wait to see more.
I love your line spooling spot idea, thats a great idea. Cheers!!!. Put beer n whiskey bottles up top.
Man looks great so far 👌.. you would be surprised if you threw up some dryway and paint in the studded areas how much brighter it would be in there.. wood as much as i looks great tends to soak up the light where as drywall and white paint would reflect the light and brighten the whole area
Looking good. It takes time to get it done. So far so good.
ULINE for metal pegboard and accessories, Packing tables for everything else!
just an idea... hang the spools horizontally above the peg board. It won't take up counter space and it will be higher if and when you want to reline a reel while sitting in the boat.
Garage looks awesome 👌. Tons of room - maybe put a Bass mount above the pegboard and shelves that would look sick! 👊 🎣
Make sure you have 4 ft led lights so cheap to run also 1 or 2 Window A/C units to cool those hot humid days in Texas
Fans on the ceiling above the boat to dry it out when need be is a must!!!!
You should definitely check out some low voltage led lights!
Just run 2 conductor for everything and daisy chain them and good to go!!!
love your content...thats gonna be a dream man cave! mega jealous!
Let all appreciate Ben’s hard work. Buy a huge house with ponds, buy a new boat, new truck and fish all the time. The true “this is my status of hard work pays off is this video of him buying that much wood from Home Depot.
I’ve been watching you since u had 1k subs. Man have u made it buddy! Happy for you
Definitely loft it, front and rear. You would have crazy storage👍✌
one of the best fishtubers jon b is a close second but just always entertaining content and I always learn something new
Maybe also put some stainless on the top of the work bench. This way if you need to put boat parts or anything up there and they are full of oil or grease, the top of the bench doesn’t get ruined. A vice is a great addition too.
You could totally put a loft in there and make a office/editing space, tackle making room, a bar/game room, all of them haha! The possibilities are endless!
Garage looks badass!! And that Tiger King shirt is kickass!!
Awesome stuff Ben! The Tiger King t-shirt cracked me up!
Let's go! Ive been putting mine off for too long! Welcome to Texas! Living in San Antonio
Garage is cool!! How about getting with your buddy and put in a aquarium with some big bass and smallmouth. Would be cool in the garage 🤙🏻
In the Back you need to construct a loft, under the loft for the ceiling it needs to be a rod rack that covers the entire ceiling.

How about some aquariums for some feeding videos? Always enjoy watching

Awesome man cave Milliken!! 👊🎣
If it's not already planned, you need to pay for Father Zac (@ SC Fish Keeping) to come down and have him help you setup a big fish tank against that back wall 😁👍
Might even be able to put a lil upstairs spot in there too. That’d be sick
Hey Ben, hello from Ontario! On the topic of shop lighting, Have a look into high bay LED “UFO” style lights, we just did our shop with them, same height, and great light output.
And the swim bait pool test!!! I’m excited for more episodes
Man looking good! Just add a stripper I mean stretching pole in the back with a fridge and your all set. Maybe a quail egg station too but that’s for you to decide hahaha
Looks awesome!! I envy the tackle selection. If you need help with lighting and power I can help you out.
Looks like you have something to do with why everything is sold out at 6th sense’s website!
LMAO RIGHT???
Ya
Need a storage loft in the back to get most of the things in the floor up out the way then make your tackle making station underneath
Also need a refrigerator for your brewski's. Maybe even a fish cleaning sink/table.
Looking good your going to love it after it's done happy for you Granny Nita in Madison Tennessee The 74 year old lady that has talked to you before love you video's wish I could still go fishing.But I can still dream big love you and Cold Slaw lol 💘
"Precisely in half 42 inches" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
48" is half of 8' but whats 6". Thats what she said. Lol yet another awesome video.
Please put in light over peg boards in intervals that have independent switches
Lovin the pond fishing videos keep up the good work and nice bass
One thing I learned from Jimmy Houston is that you should use barbless hooks when your fishing your pond. It's way better on your fish.
I'd definitely plan on putting your bait making station close to the door or if you decide to put it somewhere in the middle or back put an exhaust and a fan that'll get the toxins to blow outside.
Need to do a fold down panel from above for rod holder. Rods would be safe and straight
Good start to a big ol project
Paint the walls white will help brighten up with new lights
You did a good job. If i wasnt in NJ and in texas would do some electrical for you. Love the shirt 😄.
You definitely need some cool lights. Look at this guy bass fisherman and he has carpentry Skills. Someone in Huston should see this guy and show him what he needs for his man cave🌞🌞🌞
Deff a loft in the back area in the back. 8-10 feet up. 10 feet deep. Looks good so far
So awesome butttt I think you should insulate and cover it and keep it temperature controlled and dry so things don’t get damp and wet and corrode. I know it doesn’t snow but it does get humid and rain and get super hot! But awesome set up
You definitely should build a loft with those high ceilings for more storage.
Air confitioning! Every shop/ man cave needs it!
